About Pendleton

Located about thirty miles northeast of Indianapolis, Pendleton offers a relaxed, small-town setting with plenty of historic charm. At the center of town is a walkable historic district filled with local shops, brick storefronts, and quiet residential streets. Outdoor life here revolves around Falls Park, a beloved local spot along Fall Creek featuring scenic waterfalls, paved walking trails, a community pool, and open green space. It has a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere grounded in rich local history.

Families moving here are served by the South Madison Community School Corporation, including Pendleton Heights High School. Commuting is simple, with quick access to Interstate 69, State Road 9, and U.S. 36 connecting residents to Indianapolis, Fishers, and Anderson. Between its strong schools, beautiful park system, and small-town pace, Pendleton is an appealing spot for anyone looking to settle outside the busy core of the city.
