Forest Manor delivers a classic east-side address with a practical rhythm: solid mid-century homes, deep yards, and quick connections to the rest of Indianapolis. Set in Marion County between well-traveled corridors like 34th and 38th streets, Emerson Avenue, and Sherman Drive, the neighborhood sits beside Martindale-Brightwood and a short hop from Irvington, putting indie coffee spots, local markets, and east-side arts gatherings within easy reach.
Outdoors, residents gravitate to Wes Montgomery Park, a community hub named for the legendary jazz guitarist, with playgrounds, courts, and greenspace for pick-up games and picnics, all maintained by Indy Parks. Check schedules and amenities through the park’s official page at Wes Montgomery Park. Big-event energy is close by at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, where year-round festivals, ice skating, and the State Fair keep the calendar lively; learn more at Indiana State Fairgrounds.
Families appreciate a range of public and choice options. Students are served by Indianapolis Public Schools, which offers neighborhood schools, magnets, and specialized programs; explore options at Indianapolis Public Schools. Commuters benefit from improving transit along the 38th Street corridor, including enhanced bus rapid transit on the Purple Line; route details are available at IndyGo Purple Line.
