welcome to historic irvington

November 3, 2013 by anne 2 Comments

I still find there are days that I long for my Indiana home. Though not so much the home I grew up in. It is nice and certainly feels like home but I never cared much for the suburbs I grew up in. I always had a draw to unique older homes. Homes with character and historic Irvington offers exactly that. As the sign notes Irvington was established in 1870. It was an area of 300 acres just 4 miles east of downtown Indianapolis. It eventually became the home of what is now Butler University. Though the university has since moved the historic homes are still scattered about. Some have been refurbished and some are still awaiting their transformation.

California is not known for reasonably priced real estate so while searching through listings of amazing victorians is great for eye candy it is only fine if you don’t see the price tag. Clicking through old homes in Indiana however leaves you with a sense that the American dream might be for you too. It always amazes me how much house you can get in the middle of the country versus the coasts. Look at some of the gems you can find.

306 N Irvington Ave
$224,000
598 E University Ave
$219,000
60 Ritter Ave
$194,900
5160 E Lowell
$94,900
You can find some very interesting decorating styles as well. This next one words just can’t describe. Notice the gazebo like structure that is actually an extension of the front porch. There is also a unicorn painted on a wall.
115 S Butler
$76,130

      Midwest certainly has a draw with the real estate prices!
