Ellettsville, IN

Located just ten minutes west of Bloomington, Ellettsville offers a quiet, small-town feel without taking you far from city conveniences. Home to around 6,700 residents, the town traces its history back to the early 1800s when Edward and Eleanor Ellett first settled the area. Today, you can still see that heritage in the downtown historic district, where classic brick storefronts line the original streets. It is a popular spot for newcomers who want lower-stress living close to a vibrant university town.

Families are drawn to the local Edgewood school system, which conveniently groups its primary, intermediate, junior high, and high school campuses near the center of town.

Between its neighborhood parks, the annual Fall Festival, and all the essential everyday services right along the main corridor, Ellettsville makes putting down roots in Monroe County easy and comfortable.
