Frances Slocum is a near‑northeast pocket of Fort Wayne where quiet residential streets meet big‑city amenities. Early- and mid‑century homes, walkable blocks, and mature trees give the area enduring appeal, while proximity to the St. Joseph River links neighbors to the signature Rivergreenway for biking and jogging. Weekend plans are easy: stroll the blooms at Lakeside Park & Rose Garden, camp or catch festivals at Johnny Appleseed Park, cheer on events at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, or explore galleries, lectures, and performances at Purdue University Fort Wayne. A short drive also puts the beloved Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo on your family’s rotation.
Daily conveniences line State Boulevard and the North Anthony corridor, with independent cafés, services, and markets nearby. The neighborhood is served by Fort Wayne Community Schools, and residents appreciate having a range of public and parochial options within a quick commute, including programs at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.
Life here offers an easy rhythm—front‑porch conversations, pocket parks, and access to citywide arts, sports, and trails—within a calm residential setting in Allen County. Whether you’re relocating for work at the Coliseum or university, upsizing for more space, or right‑sizing near the river, Frances Slocum delivers value and convenience.
