Starkey Nature Park
Park
This 80-acre park, located a quarter-mile southwest of the Village, is the largest park in Zionsville. Starkey Park is named for Lucile Starkey who bequeathed a major portion of the land to the Town in 1974 for use as a nature park.
The park’s wooded bottomland along Eagle Creek offers scenic beauty, hiking trails, nature study and perfect settings for photography. Youth and adult educational programs are offered here throughout the year. This park connects to the Big-4 Rail Trail and from there, to most of Zionsville's trail system.

East Zionsville
Northern Suburbs
Located east of US-421 (Michigan Road), East Zionsville has grown rapidly in the past decade, with a focus on thoughtfully designed subdivisions and easy access to schools, parks, and shopping. The layout is distinctly suburban, with sidewalks, cul-de-sacs, and family-friendly amenities like playgrounds, pools, and clubhouses becoming standard features across many communities.
This area is home to some of Zionsville’s most modern neighborhoods, including large-scale developments with a range of housing options and carefully integrated green space. Compared to the more established West Zionsville, homes here tend to be newer, with updated finishes and more consistent architectural styles. Residents appreciate the convenience of being close to newly built schools, grocery stores, and retail hubs—especially along 146th Street, Oak Street, and near the expanding CR 700 E corridor.
The east side’s growth reflects a broader trend of suburban expansion in Hamilton and Boone counties, making it especially appealing to those seeking move-in-ready homes in a master-planned setting. With its proximity to Carmel, Westfield, and major employment centers along US-421 and I-465, East Zionsville offers a modern living experience that balances suburban comfort with access to regional amenities. For many, it’s the ideal blend of new construction, thoughtful planning, and community convenience.
