welcome to the neighborhood

Located near downtown Indianapolis on the city's near north side, Fall Creek Place is a neighborhood filled with a diverse mix of hard-working people who appreciate the benefits of downtown living. This innovative development features newly constructed homes along with restored historic homes in a neighborhood with new parks, new sidewalks, and other amenities all less than two miles from the heart of downtown. And, unlike many of the housing developments surrounding Indianapolis, it's a neighborhood that wasn't carved out of a cornfield overnight.

Please note that some site features are unavailable unless you are logged in. New visitors please register now.

The FCP Garden Committee is holding its 1st annual bulb sale this fall to help raise money for beautification projects such as doggy waste stations in the parks, flowers and bushes for the gateway monuments, replacement trees and many other projects.

You can pick up a sale packet from Goose The Market, King Park or contact Heather Roemer at garden@fallcreekplace.com if you would prefer to just make a purchase.

We will have 2nd and 3rd place prizes also. Please help us keep Fall Creek Place looking beautiful.

Brownfield Cleanup at 25th/Delaware

Contributed on Mar 16, 2011 - 06:21 AM
The City of Indianapolis recently applied for and won 2 major grants to help remediate the legacy contamination at 2460 N. Delaware St. This is the former site of the Flowers Dry Cleaners operations (now owned by the City), which collapsed into the street circa 2003. The US EPA has awarded the City a $200,000 Brownfield Cleanup Grant, and the state has awarded a $40,000 Brownfields Federal Grant Match (FGM) grant to assist in conducting the environmental cleanup activities at this site. Heavy equipment will be delivered to the site on Wednesday (3/16) and the actual excavation work will begin on Thursday (3/17). Work will continue until the end of the day on Friday and no cars should park on this parcel until after the excavator has been removed from the site. Additional work will be conducted at the site and in the subject area during the weeks of April 11 and April 18, 2011, weather permitting. Subsequent site reuse has not been determined. Read a letter from the contractor explaining the procedures and schedule.

IPS Center for Inquiry Coming to Neighborhood School

Contributed on Oct 15, 2010 - 10:16 AM
One of the most popular and successful IPS magnet programs is coming to our neighborhood school! Next fall IPS Charity Dye at 19th and Central will become the third Center for Inquiry, a magnet program based on the International Baccalaureate Programme. The school will open with grades K-5, and add a grade level each year until the school reaches K-8. Admission to the school will be by lottery (the first two have waiting lists of up to 200 students), but because Fall Creek Place falls within the priority service area, students from our neighborhood will be at the front of that lottery list. The application deadline for the lottery is December 15. IPS is hosting a meeting to learn more on November 8 at 6:30pm at the school (545 E 19th St). Learn more about the Center for Inquiry at www.302.ips.k12.in.us.

Contributed on Apr 19, 2010 - 11:54 AM

The King Park Public Safety Cooperative Neighborhood Patrol Program is now accepting membership for patrols beginning May 1. Please visit www.kpadc.org/publicsafety for registration forms by membership type.

  •  The more members that join the cooperative, the more patrol time is purchased. Patrol times will be random and may be adjusted to reflect seasonal trends and emerging problems.
  •  Officers will work with the King Park Public Safety Committee, made up of crimewatch leaders from each neighborhood, to address specific problems, locations, and persons.

Benefits of Joining

  • Off-duty IMPD officers, with full police powers, will randomly patrol around your home, organization, or business in marked and unmarked vehicles.
  • Officers will patrol down the streets, alleys, and side streets of all Cooperative members pro-actively looking for suspicious behavior.
  •  Officers will provide any advice regarding your property that they notice might make you more likely to be a crime victim.
  •  Cooperative members have the ability to relay concerns and other information to the on-duty patrolling officers.
  •  Cooperative members may have the ability to purchase additional services directly from the officers, including a vacation service.

Membership in the Cooperative is open to anyone living in the neighborhood.
