Why You’ll Love Life in Downtown Indianapolis

We build in downtown Indy because it rewards homebuyers with world-class amenities and everyday convenience. Living here comes with an incredible daily lifestyle.

Lower Cost of Living

Indianapolis is one of the most affordable major metros in the country, with overall cost of living below the national average. Many buyers relocate from Chicago and other major metros for big-city living without big-city costs.

Historical Richness

Indianapolis’ 13 historic districts and 19 National Register neighborhoods offer architectural variety. Places like Old Northside, Herron-Morton Place, and Fletcher Place offer character and identity newer areas can’t easily replicate, where property values have historically outpaced the rest of the city.

Smart Urban Planning

We like to say Indy makes it easy to “live where you do life.” Neighborhoods near the award-winning Indianapolis Cultural Trail and Monon Trail offer connected access to downtown dining, nightlife, work, errands, and weekend recreation within minutes of home.

Built for Sports Fans

Indianapolis consolidated its sports venues downtown. Downtown living puts you minutes from world-class action:

  • NFL & NCAA Final Fours: Walk from dinner to NFL games, the NFL Combine, Big Ten Football, and massive Final Four tournaments at Lucas Oil Stadium
  • NBA, WNBA, & NCAA: Catch pro hoops and Final Four tournaments at Gainbridge Fieldhouse
  • Racing & More: Just 20 minutes to the famed Indy 500, plus downtown Triple-A baseball and pro soccer

A Downtown Designed for Comfort

Decades of hosting major events built Indianapolis’ downtown infrastructure in ways residents benefit from every day. Climate-controlled skywalks offer comfortable connections between venues, retail, and hotels year-round. There’s a reason it’s the nation's No. 1 convention destination. 

Minutes to a Top-Ranked Airport

Downtown is a 15-minute drive from Indianapolis International Airport, voted No. 1 by travelers for the 14th consecutive year in the Airports Council International ASQ survey.

Fountain Square: One of Indy’s Creative Corners

It's namesake fountain and historic Fountain Square Theatre anchor this pocket of Indianapolis. Fountain Square's deep indie roots have shaped it into one of the city's go-to spots for music venues, duckpin bowling, vintage shops, and local restaurants.

At the southeast end of Virginia Avenue, Fountain Square has easy access to downtown while offering a unique neighborhood identity. It's here you'll find Colere by Onyx+East for low-maintenance living in one of the city’s most vibrant creative districts.

Old Northside: Historic Mansions Guide New Construction

Old Northside is known as a quiet neighborhood with a more suburban feel close to the city. Lined with mature trees and grand Victorian architecture, it’s a National Register historic district shaped by some of the city’s most prominent 19th-century families.

Onyx+East revitalized underdeveloped lots in Old Northside. We worked within the design-review standards of the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission to create Nouveau by Onyx+East. These new construction homes add low-maintenance housing in this high-demand, hard-to-build-in section of Indy.

What Makes Downtown Indy a Smart Homeowner Investment

Over 700 businesses are headquartered here, including Fortune 500 giants Elevance Health and Eli Lilly, along with Salesforce's largest hub outside San Francisco. An estimated 60% of downtown residents hold a bachelor's degree or higher.
