I may be relocating from MI to Indy. Shucks right lol. The relocation is painless since I will finally be in sprint car country. Guys please help me out. What is the area I should be looking for? East?West? What? Im excited about it now. Bloomington, THAT, the newer LPS, of course Kokomo and Gas City. Instead of driving 4 hours to the mile and then the lil 5!!! Any tips on good neighborhoods would be appreciated. Thank you, Steve

Carmel, Fishers, Fortville to the north, Greenfield to the east, plainfield to west and greenwood on the southside are all good, I would say depends on how much you have to spend and where you will be working, if money is no object then check out Geist, you can pick up something nice on the lake for a few mil....lol Brownsburg is good also, close into town check out Speedway, not too bad an area and I think there's a track within walking distance that holds a somewhat famous open wheel race every may......Clemont is IRP and not far out, also avon etc. seriously, lots of decent places around/in Indy

A lot will depend on what exactly you want in a house? The higher end of Indianapolis will be Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Zionsville and Greenwood area. These will be the more expensive places to live, taxes, home prices, cost of living, etc. If you are concerned about schools you will definately want to look into these areas since they also contain some of the better school corporations.

Some of the areas out of the city would include Plainfield, Greenfield, New Palestine, Mooresville, Avon, Brownsburg, Lebanon, Shelbyville; all of which would offer a little longer commute to the downtown area. Also depends on where you will be working? If that isn't an issue, any and all of the above would be great places to live. Plenty of homes for sale in the area so it should be a buyers market. Good luck and welcome to the land of Hoosiers.

Being a Realtor I can help you to either find you a place to rent or buy. The westside of Indy has always been the racer's side of town. My regular email is shodges@callcarpenter if I can help you in any way.

Its really going to depend on where you're working and what you can afford. Traffic is something else you might want to think about too. The area where 69 and 465 meet can be a real nightmare.
