  • Having trouble deciding what it's like living in indianapolis vs suburbs? What are the pros and cons? That is what we are discussing in this video. Living in Indianapolis or the "city" vs. living in the suburbs is a choice many people have to make based on their personal situation. It can be confusing if you're moving to Indianapolis and you don't know much about the different areas in the city or what the suburbs are like. There are pros and cons to living in Indianapolis just like there are for the suburbs. We will touch on 3 pros and 3 cons for each.

      Yes. There's some growth there too. Although, it's hard to match the growth of the Indy northside... Fishers, Westfield, etc. South Bend has some tough winters! Certainly tougher than Houston!

    As he mentions, Indy itself is not densely populated (as cities go), so for those not from there they may be surprised what is “the city” vs suburbs. Broad Ripple, for example, is very much like a suburb with a few main streets of commerce and most single family homes with big yards…in fact was a suburb until annexed into “city”.

  • @Mitten828.
    @Mitten828. 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great Video, I noticed that looking at homes there are many that do not have fenced backyards. Is that something not as common there? We have a couple dogs so I was just wondering. I watched your cost of living video too. Any idea how KS ranks up against Indy?

    • @LivingInIndianapolis
      @LivingInIndianapolis  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Chris! Actually, there are a large number of homes with fenced backyards. It's not something you find on every home but it's extremely common. There are plenty of people with kids and pets that want them or at least the ability to put a fence in. And, not exactly sure how KS would stack up against Indy but I would imagine they are pretty similar. But, that could depend on the specific area. LIke in Indy... there are areas that are pretty inexpensive. But, there are popular places that are certainly pricier.

    This video about Indy: Pros vs. Cons, is seemingly right on the track of fact reporting.
    I lived in Indy for almost 30 years. Most of it was in the Lawrece Township area. Back in that era over 40 years ago, it was still a fairly noted Midwest U.S. town - conservative in many ways. Then the 1980's & ' 90's came in the inner city and then outskirts. Change was in the air...migrations from different cultures made many established communities change. Thus it was for Lawrence Township.
    Yes...one has to move way out from major U.S. cities to find that "safe feel". Change is good...sometimes. But, drastic change from mainline Americana to culture change that cares little about the community that formally was set up as a "good community to live in" hurts established history of former citizens that lived there.

      Your view of Indy is vague and it’s not unique to just Indy. The issues you pointed out is a nationwide issue. Here’s some good advise, if you’re not a reckless person that hangs in bad neighborhoods then more than likely you won’t notice the crime you hear about on the news. Indy doesn’t have huge issues with random crime towards strangers. Most of the crime you hear about are usually in certain areas of the city and towards people that run in the same circle, it has nothing to do with law abiding citizens for the most part. It’s just the urban world we live in nationwide
