Pike Township is the site of Eagle Creek Reservoir, contained within Eagle Creek Park, a large area in the northwest portion of the township. 96th Street, the northern boundary of Indianapolis, separates the Lawrence portion of the Geist area and the Fishers part of the Geist area. The Geist area has been a very popular area for new homes during its development over the past 30 years. It will continue to grow, primarily the Fishers portion, for many years to come. Homes on the water begin at about a half million.
Fishers is presently the fastest-growing part of the Indianapolis area.
With a population of 678 people in 1970, it now has about 15,000 people and is projected to have a population of 144,000 by the year 2020. It is being developed by some very good builders, in both the production category and the custom category. Carmel is the other area besides Geist to experience sizable growth in recent years, growing from 2,000 people in 1965 to over 30,000 today. Homes and neighborhoods in Carmel are very similar to those in the Geist area. The White River separates Carmel from Fishes.
