Ladywood Estates is a historic district in Indianapolis, Indiana. Built in 1967, it consists of 14 contributing multi-family residential buildings, 16 contributing garage buildings, and one contributing object.[2] Originally planned as apartments, the residential buildings vary in size and number of units. All structures maintain a mid-century modern design relating to the community's post-war era development. The buildings are limestone, brick, and wood siding, with post-and-beam construction typical of mid-century modern open design.[2]

The community was planned by lawyer and developer Fredrick J. Capp, who purchased the land in 1965. Capp employed architect Avriel Shull to design it.[2]

It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.[1]
