Best of Indy?

What do you think?  For someone moving to Indy, where are the best schools?  Neighborhoods/areas for a young family to live?  Overall, where would you live, or where do you enjoy living and why? 

 TIA!

Re: Best of Indy?

  • The question is really subjective.  Personally, I couldn't live in a subdivision in a suburban neighborhood.  However, I don't fault others for making that choice.  And luckily, Indy has something for just about everyone.  What kind of lifestyle are you looking for? Where do you live now?  Would you want to stay in a similar situation?
  • Hey there--I leave in Seattle essentially but I still subscribe to Indianapolis Monthly because I LOVE INDY and hope to move back someday :). Regardless, they just published an awesome issue focusing on "the best of the burbs". It gives a run down of all the Indianapolis suburbs, highlights, education info, community feel, median income, average home price etc. etc. Here is a link if you want to check it out--it is something I will hold onto for quite awhile!

  • We live in the Greenwood area just south of downtown. We like it because we work downtown and its a short and fairly decent commute, its close to things like the groceries, movies, eateries, etc... it is a typical suburb and not as scenic or pricey as some of the northern suburbs but we really like it a lot. Its close to 1-70 and 465 for easy travel, lots to do, easy acess to downtown.... we just really, really like it. If we had the money would we move to carmel or fischers? prolly not...
  • Thanks ladies!  I know I just need to wait until we get up there, but this gives me a start of where to look!
  • Gotcha.  Sorry for the late reply, but was gone for work... 

    If I could relocate anywhere in Indy, I would really stay within the downtown-proper area.  I would choose to live in Fall Creek Place or maybe somewhere on the Near North or some of the super near Eastside communties like Cottage Home or Lockerbie.  I like the idea of living close to the urban center.  DH and I work downtown, so I would love to be able to walk to work or at least have a very short commute.  (Commute & traffic being the Number One reason I could never live in a Hamilton County suburb- not that it's nearly as bad as some of the major metro areas, Seattle included, I just couldn't personally do it)  I also think Indy, like many downtown communities, is seeing a resurgence in their downtown and it would be fun to take part in that.  DH and I also hate gardening and yardwork and enjoy the cultural and diversity benefits of living downtown.
