Room to spread out

Mature trees and stretches of farmland line the drive around town. Leroy offers “A simple life for people that want to be out on their own, that like to have no one in their backyard, or are farmers,” says Broker Cathy Hicks with BHHS Executive, who has 42 years of Real Estate experience. Residents also value the convenience of Route 231 cutting through town because it brings them closer to neighboring towns when they need to run quick errands or want to go out to eat. This seven-mile drive into Crown Point or Winfield doubles as a buffer of quiet for people who want additional privacy.

Farmhouses among the fields

There are multiple farmhouse options on acres of land. These homes have fields for crops or space to house horses and livestock. Ranch-style houses and Bungalow builds break up these wide, open spaces. Most of these houses were built between the 1950s and 1970s. Even though Crown Point and Leroy share a mailing address and schools, “There are lower house prices in Leroy, under $200,000 or under $150,000, and that is kind of unheard of for Crown Point where the median price range is more like $270,000 on average,” Hicks says.

Picnics in the park

Stoney Run County Park features trails that are open for Residents and their horses from May through November. During the warmer months, locals gather around the picnic tables and share a meal with friends at the park after trying to catch some fish in one of the woodland ponds. Before leaving, they pay their respects to the fallen at the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial, also located in the park.

Restaurants and retail therapy

Less than seven miles away in Crown Point, Residents enjoy the various dining and shopping options available. Besides chains like Dunkin’, Starbucks, McDonald’s and Jersey Mike’s Subs, locals love supporting locally owned businesses. Eli’s Golden Apple Restaurant and Pancake House serves classic diner-style breakfast items like pancakes and standout dishes like lemon rice soup. At Off Square Brewing, Residents enjoy a beer outside on the patio paired with one of the famous woodfired pizzas or smoked wings. In the area, they go to Strack and Van Til food market to stock up on groceries, before heading home to Leroy. For additional shopping, Southlake Mall is around 10 miles up Interstate 65 from Leroy and is where Residents can check off the rest of the items on their list.

Heading for the highway

Though Leroy Residents enjoy the seclusion and serenity found on the farmlands and nature trails, “It would be under 10 minutes to get to a major highway, called Highway 65, which is a major route north and south from the end of Indiana past Indianapolis,” Hicks says. Route 231 also makes traveling into Crown Point, Hebron and Winfield convenient for shopping and dining options.

The country roads of Leroy are a perfect place for residents to ride a bike.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
