Herron-Morton Place is one of Indianapolis’ most architecturally significant and beautifully restored historic neighborhoods. Known for its breathtaking Victorian homes, Queen Anne estates, Italianates, and Arts & Crafts residences, the area offers a rare blend of grandeur, craftsmanship, and modern livability. Wide streets, mature trees, and meticulously renovated homes create a neighborhood that feels both vibrant and timeless.
Originally developed in the late 1800s and home to the city’s elite, Herron-Morton Place has undergone a remarkable renaissance over the past two decades. Many homes have been thoughtfully restored to highlight original architectural details — intricate woodwork, stained glass, grand staircases, turreted facades — while incorporating luxury updates that appeal to today’s buyers. The result is an extraordinary collection of character properties unlike anywhere else in Indianapolis.
The neighborhood’s location adds to its appeal. Situated just north of Downtown and adjacent to the Old Northside, Herron-Morton offers walkability to the vibrant Mass Ave cultural district, Bottleworks, local cafés, parks, and neighborhood events like the popular Herron-Morton Home Tour. It attracts homeowners who appreciate historic preservation, design-forward living, and proximity to urban amenities.
