Ben Davis, Eagledale, Bridgeport, part of Clermont and the north half of the airport, on the west side of Marion County. The median went up this year, and so did the time to sell. Here is what that means for an offer.
Start with the map. Filter by price, beds, and neighborhood.
Wayne Township is the west side of Marion County: about 49 square miles and 148,444 people at the 2020 Census, up 8.5% from 2010. Most of it is Indianapolis. It also holds the Town of Speedway, which is a separate excluded city with its own government, the south half of Clermont, and the north half of Indianapolis International Airport. It grew along the National Road, with Bridgeport starting at a tollhouse in 1830, then filled in with post-war subdivisions like Lynhurst and Eagledale.
The market moved in two directions this year. The median rose 5.5%, from $199,000 to $210,000. But sales dipped from 743 to 718, homes took a median of 17 days to go under contract instead of 11, and months of supply went from 1.8 to 2.7 in August.
My read: prices are holding on homes that are priced right and in good shape, and buyers are passing on the rest until the price moves. Knowing which house is which is most of the job here, so I look at what sold on the street, not the township average.
What you are actually buying: a $210,000 median, quick access to I-465, I-70 and I-74, the airport next door, and Krannert Park's renovated indoor pool and fitness center. What you are giving up: new construction (none in my data here), an easy Washington Street while the Blue Line is built through 2028, and a known school tax rate until voters decide the MSD Wayne referendum on November 3.

The township runs from the near west side out to Raceway Road. The areas inside it were built in different eras and have different projects coming.
Speedway sits inside Wayne Township but is a separate excluded city, incorporated in 1926, with its own government, police department and school district. It has its own guide: Speedway homes for sale.
See homes →Along Washington Street and Girls School Road west of I-465, grown up around an 1877 railroad depot. A January 2024 city plan for the West Washington Street corridor called for a 163-acre “Ben Davis Station” area with manufacturing, commercial space, 650-plus homes and a hotel, in three phases. I haven't confirmed where that plan stands.
See homes →The far west side, where Bridgeport began at a National Road tollhouse in 1830. The same 2024 plan proposed a community health and recreation center, commercial space and 100 to 200 homes here. The airport and the FedEx hub are next door, so check flight paths for any home you're serious about.
See homes →Between 25th and 38th streets, High School Road to Lafayette Road. Mostly 1950s and 1960s ranch homes built by National Homes. It's close enough to the Speedway that residents rent yard space for race-day parking, so expect that traffic in May.
See homes →The near west side, from White River Parkway to Tibbs Avenue. A town from 1883, annexed in 1897, with a 67-acre National Register historic district of 329 buildings from 1895 to 1942. The Encyclopedia of Indianapolis covers it in its Wayne Township history, but I haven't confirmed the current township and school-district lines, so check the address.
See homes →A small included town split between Pike and Wayne townships, 1,384 people in 2020, and home to Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, which hosts the NHRA U.S. Nationals. Expect event traffic on race weekends.

Most of the township is served by MSD of Wayne Township. Speedway has its own district, the School Town of Speedway, and Indianapolis Public Schools includes sections of the township. Confirm the assignment for the specific address.
The current operating referendum, approved in 2019 at 35 cents per $100 of assessed value, expires in 2027. On November 3 the district is asking voters for a new eight-year operating referendum that would replace it: 60 cents per $100 planned for the first year, with a maximum of 70 cents. The district lists teacher pay and retention, building security and daily operations as the uses. If it passes, the referendum rate on an MSD Wayne address goes up; if it fails, the 35-cent rate ends after 2027.
Speedway voters approved an operating referendum on May 2, 2023 at 59 cents per $100 of assessed value for eight years.
The Indianapolis Public Education Corporation, a new appointed board created by state law in 2026, has an operating referendum on the November 3 ballot for addresses inside the IPS boundary: up to 37.2 cents per $100 of assessed value for up to four years, capped at $95 million a year, with the revenue split between IPS and participating charter schools. The ballot estimates $221 a year on a $150,000 median home. It replaces the 2018 IPS referendum rate of 19.6 cents, which expires in December 2026, so the net change reported by IPS and local coverage is roughly $100 to $115 a year on that home.
Whichever district it is, put the rate into your carrying-cost math before you write an offer. Referendum rates sit outside the 1% cap.
Krannert Park on South High School Road reopened its indoor center in January 2024 after a $10.8 million renovation that added an indoor pool and fitness space. It also has a splash pad, a stocked fishing pond, trails and courts, with new basketball and pickleball courts, a playground and pond and trail work expected in late 2026. Lentz Park in Haughville is a 3.4-acre park near the White River.
IndyGo's Blue Line will run on Washington Street from the airport to Cumberland, opening in 2028, with construction through then. As of September 2026, Washington Street between Rockville Road and Belmont Avenue has no westbound traffic. INDOT began widening Rockville Road to three lanes each way in March 2026, starting at Raceway Road, with overnight closures through fall 2026. Girls School Road is being repaved from 21st Street to the airport by the end of 2028. If you'll use any of these every day, drive them at rush hour before you buy.
Indiana caps homestead property tax at 1% of gross assessed value under the circuit breaker, so most owner-occupants land at or near that figure before any voter-approved referendum rate, which sits outside the cap. Rentals and second homes are capped at 2% and should be modeled separately. Marion County's local income tax is 2.02%, per Indiana Department of Revenue Departmental Notice #1, effective October 1, 2026. Confirm assessments with the Marion County Assessor.
If you want a new home from a builder, there's none in my Wayne Township data; look west to Plainfield or Avon in Hendricks County, or check the Marion County new home builds page. If you don't want to live near jet or race traffic, check the specific street before you fall for a house. And if you're set on Speedway itself, remember it's its own town with its own schools and services; see the Speedway guide.
The median single-family sale was $210,000 year to date through August 2026, on 718 closings, up 5.5% from $199,000 over the same stretch of 2025.
Homes went under contract in a median of 17 days this year, against 11 a year ago, and sold for 97.4% of list, down from 98.5%. Months of supply was 2.7 in August, up from 1.8.

An eight-year operating referendum at 60 cents per $100 of assessed value planned for the first year, with a maximum of 70 cents. It would replace the district's 2019 rate of 35 cents, which expires in 2027. IPS addresses will vote instead on the Indianapolis Public Education Corporation's operating referendum, up to 37.2 cents per $100 for up to four years.
Not in my current data; no builder community I track is in Wayne Township. See the Marion County new home builds page for the rest of the county.
I'm Wes Johnston, a Realtor with Trueblood Real Estate, based in Fishers. I cover the whole Indianapolis metro, and every guide on this site is built the same way: MIBOR numbers, public sources, and the trade-offs a listing description won't mention.
My job isn't to open doors. It's to tell you what a house is actually worth, what's wrong with it, and whether it's the right move for what you're trying to do — then negotiate hard on your behalf and own the process from contract to close.
If you're two years out, that's fine. Most of my best clients started with a question, not a showing.
Fishers-based. Honest numbers, every part of the metro. Committed to your success.
With supply at 2.7 months, you have more choice than a year ago, and the well-priced homes still go first. Set up a saved search and you'll get new listings the day they come on the market.
