Sherwood Forest offers a calm, park-like setting on the south side of Indianapolis, where wide lots, mature trees, and mid-century homes create a relaxed everyday rhythm. Residents enjoy quick connections to the heart of Indianapolis for work, sports, and arts, while the small-city feel of nearby Southport adds local flavor. Commuters appreciate straightforward routes along U.S. 31 and I-465, and public transit via IndyGo makes getting around simple.
Families are drawn to the area’s academic options within Perry Township Schools, known for strong programs and community support. Many students continue on to Southport High School, which offers a broad slate of AP courses, athletics, and arts. Learning extends beyond the classroom at the Southport Branch Library, a go-to for story times, study spaces, and tech resources.
Weekends here often revolve around the outdoors. Skaters and hockey fans head to the Perry Park Ice Rink, while nearby trails and neighborhood sidewalks invite evening jogs and stroller-friendly walks. For continuing education, lectures, and cultural events, the University of Indianapolis sits a short drive away and regularly opens its doors to the community.
