Madison County - Indiana

Madison County Directory

As Indianapolis pushes outward, the southern part of Madison County is developing into a haven for new development of residential dwellings.  Having suffered major manufacturing losses in recent years, Madison County is redefining itself and embracing its proximity to the Indianapolis metropolitan area. 

The development of businesses in Hamilton County is also making the county an attractive area for new residents seeking affordable housing options yet reasonable commutes via I-69.  Farming and rural living take precedent in much of Madison County.

Housing starts have slowed but affordability is a certainty, with an average sales price of $83,938 (2006 year-end report Landrigan & Company, Indianapolis).
