Tree-lined serenity close to major attractions
Just south of trendy Broad Ripple, Canterbury-Chatard's tree-lined blocks provide serene cover for its residents while still being only minutes away from top amenities in north Indianapolis. “Canterbury-Chatard has a great location,” says Rick Elson, Realtor with Century 21 Scheetz and longtime neighborhood resident. “It is near the Monon Trail and Broad Ripple neighborhood.” Broad Ripple is one of Indy’s premier shopping and dining districts, and the Monon Trail is a paved 25-mile rail-trail stretching from downtown Indianapolis to the north of suburban Carmel.
The Canterbury-Chatard neighborhood is known for its charming tree-lined streets.
The Monon Trail is beloved by Canterbury-Chatard neighborhood residents and visitors.

Home styles reflect Canterbury-Chatard's postwar boom
Canterbury-Chatard didn’t begin growing until the years immediately following World War II, and for good reason. Much of the land here was formerly a peat bog called Bacon’s Swamp that was nicknamed the “Indianapolis Everglades.” Today a pair of ponds provide the only clues to the landscape before it was dredged and filled in. Houses are predominantly in the styles popular in the 1940s and ‘50s: ranches, bungalows and Cape Cods. Prices range from $150,000-$589,000 in the neighborhood.
Bacon's Swamp was an early geographical feature of the Canterbury-Chatard neighborhood.
Bungalow-style homes in the Canterbury-Chatard reflect the trends of the early 20th century.

54th Street corridor rich in dining options
Though Broad Ripple’s shopping and dining scene is nearby, Canterbury-Chatard residents still have plentiful options in their own neighborhood. "There are many great restaurants on 54th Street,” Elson says. Mama Corolla’s and Good Morning Mama’s are neighoboring restaurants that typify the Canterbury-Chatard dining scene. Mama Corolla’s serves Italian cuisine in a converted 1920s stucco house, while Good Morning Mama’s turned a former service station into a brightly colored diner with 1950s vibes. Nearby, Nicole-Taylor's Pasta+Market+Backroom holds reservation-only dinners on the first Friday of each month, though its house-made pastas and sauces can also be taken to go. Near 54th and Keystone Ave, Mississippi Belle is an Indy soul-food staple. The Pawn Shop Pub – so named because the original owner wanted his wife to believe he was opening a pawn shop rather than a bar – was voted Indy’s best pub in 2023 by FOX 59 viewers. The Pawn Shop is known for its pork tenderloin sandwiches and weekly cornhole league. A Meijer at 54th and Keystone also means residents can grocery shop without leaving the neighborhood.

Monon Trail contributes to bike-friendly feel
Canterbury-Chatard is more tucked away from Indy’s wide-reaching interstate access than many of the city’s neighborhoods, providing a sense of calm save for busy Keystone Ave. and College Ave. The Monon Trail and 54th St. both contribute to the neighborhood’s high bike- and pedestrian-friendly scores. Residents can catch the IndyGo 19 bus on 52nd St for public transit.

Flood risk mostly limited to open spaces
Humans reclaimed this land from its boggy post-Ice Age origins, put parts of the neighborhood remain prone to floods. Fortunately, the most at-risk areas are open space – the twin ponds still referred to as Bacon Swamp, and Canterbury Park.
Canterbury Park is a lovely neighborhood park located in the Canterbury-Chatard area.
