Northeast Fort Wayne
Spacious suburban homes and ranch-style houses on farmland
Though Northeast Fort Wayne quickly turns from dense residential areas to sparse farmland, there are plenty of subdivisions both new and old south of I-469. Some, like Cherry Hill, have large contemporary brick homes featuring arched entryways and generous square footage. Situated on manicured lawns along quiet residential streets, these homes sell for upper-end prices nearing $750,000. Others have cozier two-bedroom ranch-style homes on rural roads, listing at $125,000. The median price for a single-family home is $280,000, which can buy an established three-bedroom house built between the 1990s and 2010s. Most areas have well-maintained sidewalks for residents to walk or bike, but further out into farmland, folks are just as likely to hear horses coming down the roads.

On weekends, the park is abuzz with activity at its numerous sports facilities, with families cheering on the games at the soccer fields. It’s also home to a public golf course where locals can practice their swing or work on their arm on the 18-hole disc golf course. Kids will also have plenty of ways to stay entertained, with a playground that has everything from slides to a climbing wall to a splash pad.

Swing by Chapel Ridge Shopping Center for day-to-day needs
Most shopping is clustered around the entrances to Interstate 469. On the eastern edge of the neighborhood, residents can stop by the Chapel Ridge Shopping Center for groceries and other everyday needs from Meijer and the Walmart Supercenter. Most of the restaurants nearby are quick-stop fast-food chains right off the highway, but for local fare, the place to go is Shigs in Pit. A Fort Wayne staple for barbecue, it’s known for its selection of smoked meats and wall of craft brews served in a rustic counter-service joint.

Hit the greens at Cherry Hill Golf Club
Most of Northeast Fort Wayne is rural, and the terrain makes for beautiful fairways and rolling greens. At Cherry Hill Golf Club, the public 18-hole course framed by a chain of 10 lakes makes for scenic but challenging play. Cedar Creek runs along the northern border of the neighborhood and feeds into the Cedarville Reservoir just beyond, which has a public boat access ramp and makes for a secluded fishing spot.
Two major Interstates make for an easy commute
Access to both Interstate 69 and Interstate 469 makes getting around from Northeast Fort Wayne easy. Residents can drive downtown in 20 minutes or 10 miles via Jefferson Boulevard, with Fort Wayne International Airport also just 30 minutes or 22 miles to the south.
