An established, convenient neighborhood
Cedar Crest is a residential neighborhood of mid-century houses close to Kokomo’s largest employers and shopping centers. And with two new battery-producing plants scheduled to become fully operational in 2025 and 2027, demand is only expected to increase in Cedar Crest and other neighborhoods on Kokomo’s east side. “It’s been selling really well,” says Amy True, managing broker/owner at True Realty, “because we are low in inventory, and that’s close to everything in our area.”
Cedar Crest is located 2 miles to the south east of downtown Kokomo, IN.

Mid-century ranches a frequent sight
Houses in Cedar Crest were primarily built between the late 1950s and mid 1970s, seizing on the neighborhood’s proximity to the plant that manufactured the world’s first successful car radio. “It’s always been a quiet neighborhood with brick ranch homes,” True says. “It’s desirable because it’s quiet, and because of proximity.” Houses range between $115,000-235,000, with those on the higher end tending to have three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
This ranch style home has undergone a renovation to make things new again.
