The suburban reaches of this characterful Indiana city

Suburban Affordable Great Schools Family-Friendly Commuter

South Fort Wayne encompasses a vast area that stretches from State Route 900 east towards Maples and south towards Poe. You’ll find a diverse mix of sprawling apartment communities as you near the city center, and a more pastoral atmosphere complete with spacious single-family home rentals as you move away from the heart of the city. Community parks and green space dot the landscape, and the Maumee River cuts through the northern reaches of South Fort Wayne. Commuters and families will love the space and lower cost of living that comes with the suburbs, but it only takes a 20-minute drive from even the furthest part of South Fort Wayne to be in the heart of the city.
