It's growing fast. Danville had 10,559 residents in the 2020 census and an estimated 13,415 in 2025, and 351 homes sold here in the past year, from condos under $200K to new construction at Miles Farm, Penrose and Northwood Haven.
US 36 runs right through town as Main Street, so downtown Indianapolis is about 37 minutes away without traffic, and the airport is about 33. Hendricks Regional Health's main hospital is on East Main Street, and the Hendricks County Airport is in town too.
