History and community near downtown Indianapolis
Bates-Hendricks is a go-to neighborhood for a sense of community and history just 3 miles south of downtown Indianapolis. Here, the active Bates-Hendricks Neighborhood Association brings the community together with fun annual events and park clean-up projects. "That close to downtown, sometimes it's hard to feel like you're part of a neighborhood, but Bates-Hendricks is very close-knit," says Sarah Fishburn, Realtor at F.C. Tucker Company. Bates-Hendricks is tucked between a 122-acre city park and quirky shops and restaurants in Fountain Square. This residential area is packed with 19th-century architecture, including the Bates-Hendricks House, a nationally-registered historic landmark. Yet this neighborhood is not old news. "There are a lot of renovations happening, so they're trying to revive that area," says Monica Scheker, Realtor with Keller Williams Indianapolis Metro North.
Bates-Hendricks is named after the historical home combining two architectural styles.

Food and fun at Street Fest and Chili Cook-Off
Neighbors spend quality time over food and drink at annual events. The Bates-Hendricks Street Fest kicks off every September with food trucks, a beer garden, dozens of local vendors and live music. In the spring, neighbors compete and vote for the best chilis while enjoying drinks and music at the annual Chili Cook-Off.
Craftsman bungalows and Dutch Colonials
Streets are packed tightly with single-family homes and duplexes. Many date as far back as the late 19th century. Regardless of style, many houses add a unique flare with bright colors and decorative roof gables. Bungalows with covered porches are common. Dutch Colonials are also popular here, with the signature barn-like roof. Land is limited in the neighborhood, with a median lot size of around 4,300 square feet. Homes tend to sit close to the street, although many front yards are big enough for a flower bed. Renovated 1,000-square-foot bungalows start around $170,000, while 2,000-square-foot bungalows cost around $400,000.
