Downtown Indianapolis ~ A Great Place to Call Home

Downtown IndianapolisIndianapolis has become a favorite of many looking to settle down in a new city. The amount of requests I receive from out of state visitors to my websites, proves people are looking for a change and Indianapolis is on their list.

Some are being transferred, others are looking for a quality of life they haven’t found in their city, many are coming home…….the new group is retirees.

Retirees are looking to find a city where they have access to arts, entertainment and big city feel which is affordable. Indianapolis provides just the right balance for those whose search will find them retiring to the city.

CNN Money designated the Mass Ave Arts District in Indianapolis as one of the top 35 best areas in a big city to retire. Located in the View of Downtown from Circle Centre MallNortheast quadrant of the city, you won’t travel far to find museums, shops, arts, theatres and galleries.

Indianapolis also has the bonus of being nominated one of the most affordable cities to live in by Forbes. For the club swinging group, who want some time on the links, Indianapolis offers 137 golf courses, ranking 14th in the Nation.

Real estate in Indianapolis is a bargain compared to many big cities. You can find a 1500 square foot condo in Lockerbie Glove for $289,000, with secured entry and parking garage or a 2800 square foot condo right on Mass Ave at Three Mass Condos, priced at $529,000.

Whether you are retiring or relocating and love city living, Indianapolis is a great city to call home.

Hi Paula, A good friend of ours recently moved to Indy to work in a university there. We hope to visit him, so good to read about life there. Look forward to more details about Downtown Indianapolis living! Good to "visit" you.

Hi Hilary - Thanks for stopping by! University professions are big here, as is the pharmaceutical industry. We really do have a great city, great museums, arts and historic districts. You should have a great time when you visit.

I love stopping by here to learn about Indianapolis. I grew up in NYC so hearing about smaller cities makes me fall in love with "city life" again.

Mary - I am a cross of country and city or urban and suburban. Indianapolis is a city I could live in - right downtown in one of the revitalized historic homes or a very cool condo. Thanks for stopping by!
