Originally posted at My Indy Waterfront Blog There are currently 15 homes for sale on Geist Reservoir that are over one million dollars. Five of those are in Lawrence Township, 9 are in Hamilton Southeastern area and one is in the Mt Vernon area. There are a few popular neighborhoods in Geist that typically have homes on the water for sale.  They include Masthead, Springs of Cambridge, and Feather Cove.  Occassionally you can also find  them in the Admirals or Canal Place. Waterfront views are so beautiful not only in the summertime but in the Fall and Winter too.  They create a peaceful feeling after a stressful day at work.  Most of these will have docks and often sellers will sell their boats too! All but one also has an inground pool and cabana’s; truly homes to entertain in and en...

If you are thinking about selling your Geist waterfront home; you might be curious about what the current market is showing. I've compared the last six months of 2011 to the same time period in 2010 (January-June) and found that the exact same number of residential homes have sold that are on Geist  Reservoir.  There were 12 both years.  The good news is the homes on the water are selling faster; 101 days on the market this year compared with 132 days a year ago.  And the price per square foot is also increasing about 15%! This year, there were 5 homes over $1,000,000 that sold compared with only one last year. The market is somewhat saturated currently with 49 waterfront homes on the market.  The one I would pick if I could...would be Tomas Scheckter's home.  It is absolutely stunning ...

The race starts at 113th "ish" and Olio Road at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 21st.  You can take a shuttle from HSE School or walk the 1 mile (in honor of the race!).  You can also take a shuttle to Mile 3 which is also the Finish Line.  The bridge is a beautiful setting to watch them finish!  There are many neighborhoods in Geist that will be able to see the race up close and in person including Springs of Cambridge, Weatherstone, Masthead and Feather Cove.  This is the course map for the race. The buses will leave very 5 minutes from 5:15 a.m to 7:35 a.m. to the starting area.  ...
