Peaceful, suburban living east of Fort Wayne
With more than 6 acres of common green space, a pond stocked with fish and neat sidewalks, Georgetowne Place better resembles a park with homes in it than a housing development. Established in the late 1980s, this landscaped enclave was created specifically as a luxury development. “At the time, this was the more expensive option. It’s still one of the highest priced neighborhoods in the zip code,” says Edmond Jemison, a real estate broker with Proper Homes LLC, who has sold numerous homes in the area. Georgetowne Place encourages connection by hosting annual picnics and volunteer days, where neighbors can help beautify the grounds by planting flowers and spreading mulch. Residents take great pride in the beautification of their own homes as well, and the board regularly gives out “Yard of the Month” awards. Located about 6 miles away from downtown Fort Wayne, Georgetowne Place attracts buyers looking for a quick commute to the city by car or local bus. Families enjoy the proximity to schools and the massive Kreager Park, a local destination for team sports and playdates. And with Georgetown Square less than a mile north, residents are never far from essential groceries and local dining options.
Large lots and single-family homes
As one of the premier developments in the area, Georgetowne Place features an eclectic collection of spacious homes, with large villas maxing out at 4,000 square feet. These $230,000 to $380,000 homes showcase Craftsman, Colonial Revival and ranch styles, and many properties maintain colorful landscaped gardens. Despite large lots with ample yard space, backyard fences are few and far between, giving the neighborhood a more connected feel than traditional developments. Buyers should note that this is a covenant-controlled community, so any desired architectural changes will need to be approved by the neighborhood association board.
Fort Wayne's Georgetown Place was founded on February 24, 1987.

Shopping and dining along Maplecrest Road
With proximity to Georgetown Square, residents are just minutes away from grabbing groceries at Kroger or dining out at their favorite local restaurant. “People really like that there’s a big shopping center up the road, and you’re also close to all the options in the city of New Haven,” Jemison says. Claiming the title of “Fort Wayne’s Best Ribs” for nearly two decades, Ziffle’s Rib Bar is especially popular with longtime residents. After a spicy meal, a sprinkle-topped cup of frozen yogurt from TCBY helps cool down the palate. About 2 miles north, Northwood Plaza is home to Target, Walgreens Pharmacy and a host of casual restaurants.
Fort Waynes Georgetown Place is within walking distance to Georgetown Square shopping center.
