Decatur Township is the southwest corner of Marion County, the land west of the White River, with Wayne Township to the north. It’s home to the main terminal of Indianapolis International Airport, the AmeriPlex business park, and a mix of established neighborhoods and fast-growing subdivisions around Camby and Valley Mills. Between 2000 and 2020, Decatur’s population grew faster than all but one of Marion County’s nine townships. The appeal is newer homes at approachable prices, room to breathe and quick access to I-465 and I-70.
Living in Decatur Township
Southwestway Park is Decatur Township’s outdoor anchor: a large Indy Parks property along the White River with mountain bike trails, marked horseback trails, sports fields and Winding River Golf Course, plus Mann Hill, the second-highest point in Marion County. Golfers have a second option at the Links at Heartland Crossing, a public 18-hole course in Camby. Everyday shopping and dining line Kentucky Avenue (State Road 67), and the township’s history shows in Valley Mills and West Newton, a Quaker-settled community laid out in 1851. Much of the township is still farmland, which gives many neighborhoods a quieter, more open feel than you’d expect this close to the airport and downtown.
Decatur Township Home Prices & Real Estate Market
Decatur Township is one of Marion County’s most approachable markets for buyers who want a newer home. Prices generally run from the high $100s for older homes in the established northern neighborhoods to the $300s, and new construction from national builders typically runs from the high $200s into the low $400s. Ranches and mid-century homes are common in the north, while Camby-area subdivisions are largely newer, and master-planned Heartland Crossing adds pools, parks and a golf course to the mix.
Schools in Decatur Township
Most of Decatur Township is served by the Metropolitan School District of Decatur Township, whose high school is Decatur Central High School on Kentucky Avenue. Some neighborhoods near the county line, including parts of Heartland Crossing, are served by Mooresville Consolidated Schools instead. School assignment really does depend on the address, so confirm it with the district before you buy.
Commute from Decatur Township to Downtown Indianapolis
Downtown Indianapolis is roughly 10 to 15 miles away, typically about 15 to 25 minutes via Kentucky Avenue, I-465 or I-70. The airport terminal is right in the township, and the Ronald Reagan Parkway links AmeriPlex to I-70, a plus for anyone working in the area’s logistics and distribution corridor.
