Mace is a small crossroads community that rewards residents with quiet roads, open skies, and an easygoing pace. Set along U.S. 136 between Crawfordsville and New Ross, it offers simple commutes and quick trips to everyday essentials, with farm stands, local services, and larger retailers a short drive away. You’re also within reach of Ladoga and the broader resources of Montgomery County.
Families appreciate the strong local school system. The South Montgomery Community School Corporation provides a close-knit learning environment, from the well-regarded Walnut Elementary School to Southmont High School, known for hands-on academics, robust extracurriculars, and spirited athletics. School events often double as community gatherings, deepening ties among neighbors.
Outdoor time is easy to come by. Hikers, paddlers, and birders can explore sandstone ravines and peaceful stretches of Sugar Creek at Shades State Park and the trail networks of Turkey Run State Park. For history and arts, nearby attractions include the General Lew Wallace Study & Museum and performances and lectures at Wabash College. Everyday healthcare needs are covered with regional providers such as Franciscan Health Crawfordsville.
If you’re considering a move, Mace offers the calm of country living with convenient access to culture, schools, and services. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local agent who knows the area and the market.
