Wildwood Online | About Wildwood

	Nestled in the heart of the Midwest, Fishers is home to a neighborhood that offers

It's difficult to imagine that 116th Street was a two-lane country road back in 1993 when Crossmann Communities purchased over 87 acres of land that would be developed into Wildwood Estates.

Since the first residents moved in the following year, 116th has doubled in size, the population of Fishers has more than tripled, and hundreds more families have made Wildwood home.

Wildwood Estates lies along Delight Creek, a small tributary of the nearby White River. Before the neighborhood was built, the bottomlands around Delight Creek were rich with wetlands that attracted a variety of wildlife.

Through a process called mitigation, man has recreated these wetlands by reintroducing native plants, including red maple, willow, gray dogwood, slippery elm, cattails, sedge grass, and water lilies. The wetlands offer a breeding ground for fish in the shallows, and a habitat in the deeper open water.

Even in a residential neighborhood, wetlands are a valuable resource for they have the ability to digest many water-borne pollutants from lawns and streets.

Perhaps the most recognized neighborhood landmark is the "tall tree" located in the center of Tall Trees Drive. The tree is illuminated at nightfall and rises from the center of a beautifully-landscaped island.

This White Oak is a long-lived tree native to upland areas and provides habitat and protection for birds and squirrels.

Because of its size and strength, it is unsurpassed in timber value. In our community, though, it lives and thrives in its natural majesty and ensures that Wildwood Estates remains true to its name.

Neighborhood amenities are geared toward the active family.

Walking trails line Delight Creek and circle the wetlands. Direct connections to Hamilton County's extensive network of multi-use trails means residents can easily hike or bike to many area parks, attractions, and retail developments.

Location may be Wildwood Estates' greatest asset.

Interstates 69 and 465 are just a couple of minutes away, providing direct access to downtown Indianapolis, the airport, and other major Midwestern cities.

The community is in the Hamilton Southeastern school district, widely regarded as one of the better school corporations in the region.

As you can see, there's truly something for everyone. Whether you're relocating to central Indiana or you're a lifelong Hoosier...
