2021 Best Neighborhoods to Live in Indianapolis

Broad Ripple

• Neighborhood in Indianapolis, IN
• Rating 4.75 out of 5  16 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Broad Ripple all my life and wouldn't go anywhere else! I love how tight knit the village is and how all the small businesses support each other. There are so many cute shops, fun restaurants, and art to explore, along with annual festivities! Currently Broad Ripple Ave. is closed down to local traffic, making the public able to walk around freely and restaurants able to set up tables and chairs outside so people can socially distance themselves. From the nostalgic bridge overlooking the canal with Good Earth right there to grab corn to feed the ducks, to the new dog park at Broad Ripple park, there are so many fond memories I have of Broad Ripple, and love making more!

Castleton

• Neighborhood in Indianapolis, IN
• Rating 4.17 out of 5  12 reviews

Current Resident: I grew up in the Castleton area as a child. While the location has dramatically grown in popularity, there remains a sense of community and strong core. The educational/academics are phenomenal, businesses and real estate have substantially grown, and opportunity for employment is everywhere. It’s situated near the highway, downtown, and influential and historic locations, such as Fishers, Carmel, and the Broadripple Area. This makes it a very convenient location for commuting and exploring around Indianapolis and surrounding townships.
In all of this, there remains diversity and countless possibilities to become involved in the area.

There is very much a sense of community in this neighborhood. Though I am currently renting right now, I am looking to purchase a home in the neighborhood or nearby.

Devonshire

• Neighborhood in Indianapolis, IN
• Rating 5 out of 5  2 reviews

Current Resident: My neighborhood is safe and a great community of people who support each other. The houses are mostly families and you always see people walking their dogs, walking as a family, going on jogs, and doing yard work. When one member of the community is hurting, we bunch together to help them out by getting groceries, making dinners, or watching kids. My neighbors have driven us home when we had a flat tire and made dinner when a member of my family had surgery.
