Moving to Zionsville, Indiana
Thinking about a move here? This page covers the practical questions: what homes really sell for, what property taxes run, and how the schools work. It's all built from county records, so the prices are recorded sales, not estimates.
What homes actually cost
In Indiana, home sale prices are public record. Every number on this page comes from actual recorded sales, 12,626 of them since 2008, not from listing-site estimates.

Where people live
Zionsville has 143 named neighborhoods, from small lots near the Village to homes on acreage. The least expensive by average sale are Russell Lake, Lake View, Hunter Glen; the priciest are Promontory, Oldfields, Willow Ridge. Every neighborhood has its own page with recorded sales, HOA dues, school assignments, and a value estimate.
One thing that surprises people: a Zionsville mailing address doesn't always mean the town, the township, or the school district. Worth checking before you fall for a house.

Schools
One district covers the whole town: Zionsville Community Schools, with 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. Which schools a neighborhood feeds into is on the schools page, along with what homes sell for in each attendance zone.
Assignments group by neighborhood per the ZCS list and boundary map; confirm with ZCS.

Property taxes
Indiana caps property tax on the home you live in at 1% of assessed value, but voter-approved referendums get added on top of the cap, and Zionsville has one for the schools. In practice, owner-occupied homes here paid a median of about 1.1% on 2026 bills.
One mistake that costs new buyers real money: your first tax bill is based on the seller's deductions, not yours. If they had no homestead deduction, you pay the higher rate that first year, with no retroactive fix. File yours right after closing.

Internet, trash, and utilities
Fiber internet is available in 125 of 143 neighborhoods, per the providers' FCC filings. Trash pickup runs through the town's contract with Priority Waste, and your collection day depends on the neighborhood. Most of town gets electricity from Duke Energy; some rural areas are on Boone REMC. If you're wondering about flood zones, every property page shows the FEMA designation for that parcel.
