Why people move to Brownsburg
Brownsburg is one of the fastest-growing communities on the west side of Indianapolis. The town had 29,033 residents in 2020 and an estimated 34,089 in 2025. Ask buyers why they're looking here and the answer usually starts with the schools and the commute.
Brownsburg has two I-74 interchanges, at Green Street (SR 267) and Ronald Reagan Parkway. Downtown Indianapolis is about 28 minutes away, the airport about 30, and Ronald Reagan Parkway runs south to I-70.
It's still a town, not a city, and it feels like one. Summer means free concerts at Arbuckle Acres, the farmers market and evenings on the B&O Trail. Downtown has added a lot lately, including The Arbuckle, a mixed-use project on North Green Street with apartments, townhomes and shops. And yes, the NHRA U.S. Nationals still come to Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park every Labor Day weekend. You'll hear it!
