During our visit to the McKenzie Center, we learned that this is the career and technical education center in Lawrence. It offers a diverse selection of career pathways. The culinary students prepared the lunch at their own restaurant called Bernie’s Place.

The city has plans to open Craig Prep Academy in 2027. It fills the community desire for a small school at the middle grades.

If you’ve driven past Fort Ben recently, you already know Lawrence is buzzing. But if you’re looking to buy or sell here, the latest city and real estate data tell an even bigger story about why this community is thriving.

Here is a quick snapshot of Lawrence by the numbers:
-50,650+ – The city's growing population! More people are choosing Lawrence for its perfect blend of urban convenience and great green spaces.
-$284,900 – The current median listing price for homes. It offers incredible value compared to some neighboring metro suburbs, keeping homeownership within reach.
-14 to 29 Days – How fast a properly priced home moves to pending. The market here is balanced, but great properties still get snapped up quickly!
-35.6% – The percentage of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, beating out the Indiana state average of ~23% and bringing a highly skilled workforce to our local economy.
-24.7 Minutes – The average daily commute time. Lawrence's location gives residents quick access to downtown Indy without sacrificing that tight-knit community feel.

The takeaway? Lawrence is a beautifully diverse, economically steady, and highly accessible hidden gem on Indy's northeast side. Whether you're exploring the trails at Fort Harrison State Park or looking for your next home, it's a great place to plant roots.
