mreye Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Fishers is a nice place to live - if you've got the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Check out the Broad Ripple area, not that far from downtown. Maybe a 20 minute commute. Lots of young people there, places to go, eat, etc. Really clean and friendly part of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 The neighborhood around Butler is nice if that helps any. Indy is basically just a pit stop on the way to Valparaiso..err..Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Indy isnt bad. The downtown area is actually somewhat nice, alot of good chain restaurants and bars like the Red headed Piano bar. Also there is an awesome cigar bar in downtown indy called Nick-somethings. Probably my fav bar of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Hudler Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I haven't been to Indy in several years, but I can only imagine it has gotten better. About 20 years ago, they made a conscious choice to clean up the downtown area and grow based on sports. The biggest things you need to know is that the downtown area is pretty clean and safe. As previously mentioned, Broad Ripple area has many bars/entertainment for 20somethings. Listen to Bob & Tom every day and you will laugh your ass off! As far as living, Greenwood, which is just SW of the city wasn't too bad an area in the past. Aside from there, most of the better areas are north of the city. Castleton, Fishers, Carmel, etc. They aren't gonna be cheap though. Then again, you get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmel is up there too. Oh I can't wait to move back to Indiana one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
