About Barclay
Gardens
Barclay Gardens, located between E 3rd St and E 10th St, is a residential and campus-adjacent Bloomington neighborhood with leafy side streets and a low-rise, walkable feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the E 3rd St & S Jordan Ave crossroads, where coffee counters, casual bites, and bike traffic set a steady weekday rhythm. Housing reads as a mix of mid-century apartments, smaller single-family homes, and student-era rentals tucked behind mature trees. Indiana University’s edge shapes the cadence, with Dunn Meadow and nearby academic buildings framing daily routes. Cultural pillars nearby include the IU Auditorium, the Eskenazi Museum of Art, and the Indiana Memorial Union.
