What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Indianapolis

I like the locked entry way to our apartments. We live close to a lot of different resaurants and stores

I like all the trees and that people can walk their dogs in the street. I like that the neighborhood is well lit and people usually have extra garage lights and yard lights on.

It is unique because it has the best schools and grocery stores, restaurants and pharmacies. My favorite restaurant/bar is literally walking distance from my apartment. I like going to the bar and the restaurants that are in the area.

It's close to broadripple and down town for food and drinks. I like the options in the area. Target is close by.

On the upside, I am close to dollar stores and a grocery store. Thee are 4 churches in my street. I live above a bar. My landlord lives on -sire.

My neighborhood is unique with the variety of different cultures. My house is an 8 minute walk to my favorite Mexican restaurant. I like going to the nearby bar & grill to meet up with some of my close friends.
