Top Reasons You’ll Love Living in Indianapolis—with Olthof Homes

Top Reasons You’ll Love Living in Indianapolis—with Olthof Homes

At Olthof Homes, we know a great place to live when we see one—and Indianapolis is one of the best. As a family-owned home builder with deep roots in Indiana, we’ve been building new homes for three generations across the Northwest Indiana, Fort Wayne and Indianapolis metro areas. But there’s something special about Indy that keeps us coming back. We live here, we build here—and we believe in what this area has to offer.

From gorgeous, lively communities to natural beauty and an unbeatable location, here are the top reasons we believe you’ll love living in one of our new homes in Indianapolis.

A city that offers the best of both worlds

Indianapolis has a rare charm: it’s a major metropolitan hub that still feels warm, accessible and authentically Midwest. The city pulses with energy, offering world-class dining, thriving arts and music scenes, exciting professional sports and top-tier healthcare and education—all without the overwhelming hustle and high cost of living found in other big cities.

Downtown Indianapolis is a vibrant mix of culture and community. From cheering on the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium or catching a Pacers game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to exploring the Newfields Museum of Art or walking along the scenic Canal Walk, you’re never far from something to do. The city is also home to celebrated culinary destinations, from cozy local cafes and international eateries to James Beard-recognized chefs and craft breweries. If you love the arts, the city’s live music venues, theaters and festivals—like IndyFringe and Penrod Arts Fair—will keep your calendar full all year long.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, Indy doesn’t disappoint. The Monon Trail offers miles of scenic biking and walking paths that connect neighborhoods and suburbs to downtown, while Eagle Creek Park provides acres of natural beauty, hiking, kayaking and birdwatching just minutes from the city. Family-friendly attractions like the Indianapolis Zoo, Children’s Museum of Indianapolis and White River State Park offer weekend fun for all ages.

We’ve chosen to build in some of the most beloved and well-connected suburbs around the city—from Westfield and Brownsburg to Greenfield and Plainfield—because they reflect that same unique balance of energy and ease that makes Indianapolis so livable. These areas offer highly rated schools, growing job markets, abundant parks and welcoming neighborhoods—all with easy access to downtown Indy. Whether you crave the buzz of the city or the calm of nature, living in the Indianapolis metro means you don’t have to choose. You can truly have it all.

A home for every lifestyle

We understand that the perfect home means something different to everyone. That’s why our Indianapolis-area communities offer a wide variety of home styles, price points and lifestyles.

In Westfield, you’ll find both our Lindley Run and Atwater communities—ideal for families, professionals and active adults alike. These neighborhoods offer single-family homes, townhomes and low-maintenance villas starting in the $200s, all set within a growing, connected community with top-rated schools and recreation close by.

Over in Plainfield, Bo-Mar Estates is a shining example of value and convenience, with amenities that make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. Whether you’re looking for a spacious single-family home or a comfortable townhome, Bo-Mar has something for you.

If peaceful living with lots of green space sounds like your style, Evergreen Estates in Greenfield and Fairview West in Brownsburg offer serene surroundings with paired villas and single-family homes designed for comfort and simplicity.

And for those seeking an active yet laid-back lifestyle, Grant’s Corner in Cumberland (now in its final phase!) and Talon Woods in Brownsburg feature affordable, low-maintenance options in beautiful, recreational settings.

No matter your stage in life, there’s a place—and a home—for you with Olthof.

Built with heart, backed by legacy

Choosing where you live is one of life’s biggest decisions. That’s why every home we build comes with the quality, care and integrity that has defined Olthof Homes since day one. As a family-owned company since 1961, we treat our homeowners like part of the family. We don’t just build homes—we build trust.

We know the Indianapolis area like the back of our hand because it’s part of who we are. We’ve walked these neighborhoods, sent our kids to the schools and built lasting relationships in these communities. That's exactly why we choose to keep building here—we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

Our new construction homes in Indianapolis are crafted for long-term value and inspired living. From energy-efficient features to open-concept designs and thoughtful details throughout, each home is designed to support your lifestyle today and grow with you into tomorrow.
