    Northeast Fort Wayne

    Equal parts suburban and rural, Northeast Fort Wayne has some streets where new subdivisions sit across from sprawling farms. But even though this neighborhood has seen an uptick in growth in recent years, it’s still one of the quieter parts of town. “It’s got a slower, more laidback vibe,” says Andie Shepherd, a Fort Wayne native and Realtor with

    Kensington Downs

    Arlington Park

    Every neighborhood has its distinct qualities, but Arlington Park is one of the few suburbs in America with publicly accessible walking paths tracing their way throughout. Not to be confused with sidewalks, which are rare here, these pedestrian-only paths parallel neighborhood streets in much the same way that an alley would. But recreational

    Kirkwood

    Home buyers find themselves at a crossroads when they reach a newer Fort Wayne neighborhood such as Kirkwood. Literally, in this case, the intersection of Crescent Avenue and Coliseum Boulevard, and figuratively at an area with a different history than more-established parts of the city. “When Fort Wayne started, people lived on the south side of
