Real Estate in Zionsville

Do you want to know a secret? There is a wonderful bedroom community just 17 minutes northwest of Indianapolis called Zionsville. Not many people who are thinking about moving to the Indianapolis area know about this place, so let me tell you a little bit about it.

History of Zionsville

Years ago a railway speculator named William Zion partnered with Boone County landowner Elijah Cross and built a railway station on Cross’s land in Eagle Township. Thus the name “Zionsville.” For years the town had a quiet existence as a stop on passenger rail lines and eventually became a shopping destination with cute shops, restaurants and friendly folks. It’s been said that in 1861 when traveling to his inauguration, Abraham Lincoln made a whistle-stop speech in Zionsville.

Over the years the quaint village of Zionsville has become well-known throughout Indiana for its unique charm, friendly townspeople and high quality of life.

Zionsville is a Great Place to Live

The center of Zionsville is Main Street with its brick streets and quaint stores mainly owned and operated by local families. There are upscale shops, vintage antiques, museums and fine art galleries featuring world-renowned artists.

The school system in Zionsville is ranked at the top of Indiana education, and the entire town works together through community organizations and activities to create a lifestyle unsurpassed to those who live and work there. It’s a fast-growing community with lot’s to offer to those who want to live in a small town just minutes away from a major metropolitan area.
