Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Home of the Indianapolis 500 since 1911, the 2.5-mile oval opened in 1909 and houses the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum on its infield grounds.
The capital of Indiana offers an unmatched range of neighborhoods — from historic Meridian-Kessler to revitalized Fountain Square — at price points that consistently undercut comparable Midwest cities.
Indianapolis is Indiana's capital and largest city — a Midwest metro that punches above its weight on culture, sports, and livability. From the revitalized Mass Ave arts corridor to the historic homes of Meridian-Kessler, from lakefront living in Geist to walkable Broad Ripple, Indy offers a neighborhood for nearly every lifestyle and budget.
Home values in Indianapolis remain competitive with peer Midwest cities, making it an attractive market for first-time buyers, investors, and relocators.

Completed in 2013, this eight-mile protected walking and biking path links six downtown cultural districts, including Mass Ave, Fountain Square, and the Canal and White River State Park.
Operating downtown since 1902, this steakhouse on South Illinois Street is best known for its shrimp cocktail, served with a sinus-clearing, horseradish-heavy cocktail sauce.
Indianapolis rewards buyers who do their homework. The city's 100+ distinct neighborhoods each have their own character, pricing, and trajectory. Mass Ave and Fountain Square are seeing the strongest appreciation in the urban core; Meridian-Kessler and Williams Creek remain perennial favorites for buyers who want historic homes with walkable access to retail and parks.
The north side — Butler-Tarkington, Meridian Hills, Broad Ripple, and the areas around 86th Street — offer a particularly compelling mix. Well-maintained ranch and colonial homes in the $300K–$600K range, close to Indy's best independent restaurants and the Monon Trail, continue to attract buyers who want urban amenities without full urban density.
The south and east sides of Indianapolis are seeing renewed investment and appreciation. Fountain Square, Irvington, and Garfield Park have all seen significant buyer interest from younger buyers drawn by relative affordability and architectural character. These neighborhoods reward early buyers.
The 'best' neighborhood depends on what you're looking for. Meridian-Kessler and Williams Creek are perennial favorites for historic homes and walkability. Broad Ripple appeals to those who want a lively dining and arts scene. Fountain Square and Irvington attract buyers who want character and relative affordability. Geist and Fishers/Carmel areas on the north side offer newer construction and top schools.
Indianapolis home prices are consistently below those of comparable Midwest metros like Columbus, Nashville, or Minneapolis. The median hovers around $240,000, though the range is wide — from $150K urban infill homes to multi-million-dollar estates on the north side.
Indianapolis spans multiple school districts. Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) serves the urban core. The MSDs (Metropolitan School Districts) serve various areas of Marion County. Many families in Indianapolis also choose private or charter schools.
Yes — the Indianapolis metro is one of the Midwest's stronger growth markets. The urban core has seen significant investment and revitalization over the past decade, and suburban growth in Hamilton and Hendricks counties continues to be among the fastest in the region.
Indianapolis has a well-developed highway system that makes cross-town commutes manageable. Most neighborhood-to-downtown trips run 15–30 minutes. The city is also investing in trail infrastructure, with the Monon and Cultural trails providing non-car options in key corridors.
