Rolling hills and estates 8 miles north of Indianapolis
With gorgeous Colonial and European-style estates wrapped in greenery on rolling hills, it’s no wonder the town of Williams Creek is known as the Switzerland of Marion County. Developed in 1928 in a small section 8 miles north of Downtown Indianapolis, Williams Creek was intended to be a scenic residential haven for the wealthy and continues to live up to its reputation. “In the late 1960s, Williams Creek became what’s called an included town in the city of Indianapolis," says Matt Neff, president of Williams Creek Town Council. "So, it’s part of the metropolis of the city, but retains its own legal identity as a town.” Neff adds that Williams Creek even has its own police force and town martial.
Williams Creek is the place to go for friendship, community, and to put down roots.
Williams Creek sits close to Indy's best amenities while also remaining quiet and secluded.
Local art painted along the Monon Trail can be seen outside Nora Plaza, a popular shopping area.

Well-maintained lots reaching $3 million
“The town isn’t on a grid system like the city,” says Neff. “We have houses on curvy angular streets with slower speed limits, so there’s not a lot of through traffic, and a lot of people like to walk around.” Some of the most prominent houses feature Colonial, English, Spanish and Italian-style architecture. Many of these up-scale homes are built on well-maintained lots with one to five acres of land and lots of surrounding trees that keep locals connected to nature. They’re located on quiet tree-lined streets that meander throughout the neighborhood, where neighbors will pull into their long, elaborate driveways. Though hundreds of homes were built in the 1930s and ‘40s, some newer properties were built in the 2000s, including several ranch-styles. The smallest homes offer around 2,500 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and sell for around $700,000 to $800,000. It only goes up from there, with four-to-six-bedroom mansions selling for anywhere from $1 to $3 million.

Center of Monon Trail with memorial for local cat
The Monon Trail is the go-to spot for outdoor exploration. With Williams Creek approximately at the center of the rail trail, locals can walk or ride their bikes 10 miles north to Westfield or 10 miles south to Downtown Indianapolis. As the trail connects to other towns and city neighborhoods, it allows anyone to get fresh air while exploring new places. The trail entrance memorializes the legendary Pirate Cat, a cat who used to roam the area and take pictures with people before passing away in 2020. The photogenic orange and white cat became so beloved by the community that they decided to erect a life-sized statue and memorial to honor him.
Hop on the Monon Trail for easy walk or bike access to all of Indianapolis.
The Monon Trail is a great place for long bike rides on warm days.

1920s restaurant and bustling main road shopping
Though Williams Creek is primarily residential, it’s home to one local restaurant that has served the community from the very beginning. HollyHock Hill, established in 1928, is undoubtedly the local staple, known for its homestyle chicken and old-fashioned setting. However, residents are just a few blocks away from E 86th Street, a bustling main road with more restaurants, several big box retailers, medical facilities and just about everything one may need. Locals also have the luxury of living just three miles from The Fashion Mall, which has two floors and more than 120 stores, a food court and Landmark Theater, featuring new, independent and foreign films.
Williams Creek residents go to Illumine for fresh, quality coffee every day of the week.

Skip the highways to Indianapolis
While there are several stoplights along the way to Downtown Indianapolis, living in Williams Creek allows locals to skip the highways when heading to the big city. The town is also just two miles from access to Interstate 465, which circles all of Indianapolis.
Seasonal socials and parades
Williams Creek residents come together for fall and spring socials. “It’s a nice cocktail party hosted by neighbors in their own homes,” says Neff. “And everyone in town is invited.” For Halloween, Williams Creek hosts a parade down several residential streets. And at the corner of Morningside Drive and Forest Boulevard is a small triangular green space with trees that the town lights up for the holidays as well.
