Racing spectacle and regional park 5 miles from downtown Indy

A black-and-white racing flag greets residents as they enter Eagledale under the Checkered Flag Railway Bridge. During Indy 500 weekend, residents get ready for the big event with driveway tailgate parties. When it's race time, they are close to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which borders the neighborhood's west side. "During the month of May, that whole side of town is checkered flags and team flags," says Brad Polston, Realtor with Highgarden Real Estate. "That whole side of town takes a lot of pride in the race, so they're very expressive about it." During the rest of the year, residents may enjoy a more relaxing atmosphere at Riverside Regional Park, Indianapolis's second-largest park, which is located just east of the neighborhood.

The race is on at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Eagledale residents are in a prime location to participate in one of the country's biggest racing spectacles. On Memorial Day weekend, 200,000 spectators fill the stands at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Thirty-three competitors complete 200 laps around the oval track at speeds of over 230 miles per hour.

Foods from around the world in Eagledale

Tasty international finds are frequent along Lafayette Road and 38th Street. Saraga International Grocery offers produce and dry goods from nearly every continent. It's the place to find unique ingredients for an authentic meal, like bok choy, Indian bitter melon and fresh coconut. Locally owned restaurants serve Hispanic, Indian, African, Vietnamese, Chinese and other cuisines. Che Chori is an Argentinian drive-through and take-out joint popular for its choripán, a crusty sandwich stuffed with chorizo sausage. Several neighborhood churches support Eagledale residents through food pantries.

Bungalows abound in Eagledale

Single-family homes and apartment complexes are found throughout Eagledale. Most homes here were built in the '40s, '50s and '60s. Bungalows sit close together on many streets. Some are minimalist with flat, rectangular facades, while others have porticos or front porches. Ranch homes are also common. Affordability is one of Eagledale's big draws, with a median price of $165,000 for single-family homes compared to $250,000 for Indianapolis. That price is drawing investors who flip and rent out properties. "Almost every offer I've gotten is from investors and people looking to build a rental portfolio," Polston says. Properties are on the market for between $125,000 and $245,000. Many front yards contain a tree or two and have enough room for a tire swing.

I grew up in Eagledale. The area has changed for the worst. There are still several elderly people living in the neighborhood. It was great living down the street from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The neighborhood is getting crime ridden.
