Ellettsville Homes & Community Guide
A quieter pace and more room to breathe, just minutes northwest of Bloomington — small-town living with city amenities close at hand.
Ellettsville is a close-knit town on State Road 46, about 15 minutes from downtown Bloomington. Buyers are drawn to its larger lots, newer subdivisions, well-regarded Richland-Bean Blossom schools and a genuine hometown feel — without giving up easy access to IU, shopping and jobs.
Whether you want a move-in-ready home in town or a few acres out in Richland Township, I'll help you weigh commute, schools and budget to find the right fit.
The town's signature fall festival brings a parade, music, food and neighbors together each year.
A paved walking and biking path connecting parks and neighborhoods through the heart of town.
Indiana's first state park — waterfalls, canyon trails and camping — sits a short drive west.
Sports fields, trails, a dog park and a splash pad between Ellettsville and Bloomington's west side.
Hometown diners, pizza spots and family-owned favorites along Sale Street and State Road 46.
Larger lots and wooded acreage just outside town for gardens, workshops and privacy.
