- When living in Indianapolis you'll certainly find the good the bad and the ugly. Most large cities will certainly have their good... or things that most people like. They'll also have their bad... or things most people dislike. But, most large cities have some ugly. These are really the things people not only dislike but don't really want to talk about. When living in Indianapolis you'll find all of these. I've lived in Indianapolis since 1997 and I can say it's mostly good but I've seen some bad and ugly as well. If you're thinking of moving to Indianapolis hopefully you'll find this video helpful. Or, if you are living in Indianapolis currently maybe you'll find this video brings more awareness. Or, perhaps we can discuss your opinions. Enjoy!

What's the ugly in your city?
In Miami it's increasingly more expensive rent.
That's happening here as well. Although, it's probably still a little lower than other parts of the country. What are you paying per month right now?
@@LivingInIndianapolis 825 1 bedroom 700 sqft give or take. However, they normally go for $1,100 minimum. Even studios start at $850 in a decent area.
That's actually not too far off from what you can find here as well. Especially in super popular areas. We do have single family detached homes that are available in many areas though. What about there?
@@LivingInIndianapolis we do have a few but the majority are duplex and triplexes. At any rate, I've seen some of your rents and they are phenomenal values.
loved the brilliant sweeping dirt under the rug
Thank you. This was highly informative.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful
I’ve traveled around the world-which means I’ve been in their airports: Beijing, Paris, NY, LA, Chicago, to name just a very few.
Indy’s airport? BEST. Hands. Down. Affordability. Accessibility.
I agree! Indy's airport for the amount of traffic it handles and the connections it's really hard to beat.
Homelessness in Sacramento (or anywhere in CA) is really bad. Along with super expensive gas and electricity.
Your videos are great, thanks for making them!
Thanks! Appreciate that
Can you do a video of Avon Indiana, Lafayette Indiana, and Attica Indiana? Thank you ♥️👍😎💯
You get a like for discussing the airport. And to any viewers from outside of Indiana, everything he says here is accurate. Thank you.
Thanks! Appreciate that.
Coming over from UK for the 500, where should we avoid, also looking for some good bars together so we can move around, where is best.
Hi Jason. I'm wondering if you can please do a video about Greenwood
Greenwood is on the list!
i can't tell why i'm in love with indianapolis, even though i haven't been in the US ever, the first time I saw the white river state park in a video I loved it, why don't you make a vlog in the best places to go down town? maybe in the future, you decide
Thanks for watching! I have some plans for the downtown area in the future. White River State Park is certainly going to be a part of it!
Which areas are the unsafe one? I might possibly be working at IU Health University Hospital and am looking for a place. Unfortunately almost every interactive crime map shows the entire surrounding area as unsafe. Are there any safe areas in a 10ish min drive from the hospital? Also which places should I avoid?
What are the concentrated areas of crime around IUPUI to avoid? I will be looking for a small home or apartment to lease this summer in preparation for grad school this fall so definitely hoping to avoid the bad and ugly.
If you can stay close to campus or at least between campus and downtown that's usually pretty good.
Indy has a really good layout with interstate 465 surrounding it making it easy to navigate. The crime has gotten bad in some areas, but they aren't areas that someone would travel to just on a whim. I prefer the suburbs north of Indy, but I'm not someone to go out much, and I also grew up in the suburbs there. The sports are great, and Indiana has some of the best fans and organizations even if the market is smaller. A huge complaint I've heard is that it's too "boring" here, and I think if that's the biggest issue you have with a city, then it must be pretty good.
You're tripping it's so fucking annoying trying to get anywhere here.
On top of that for a city with this many people the fact there are no trains or light rail or even busses that go to the suburbs.
Indy was ranked like the 31st worst city in the US last year
A few spots up from Gary.
What is the rate of Latinos living in Indianapolis? Are they in specific areas? What are those areas where are good places to live? Do we sell Latin food in Indianapolis? Latin supermarket products? .... It is a good idea that you can do a program focused on clarifying those doubts for the Latino community in the United States that you can move to Indianapolis (I'm from Venezuela)
Hi! The Latino population is fairly small. Maybe 3% or so. There aren't really any defined specific areas as being Latino. Although, some areas have a higher percentage than others but not by much. There are certainly Latin supermarkets around town. I have a friend who moved here from Venezuela about 6 years ago and he lives in Fishers where the Latino population is quite low. He's mentioned the lack of Latino culture before.
what up man??? how many utube creators r from indy? I would like to talk to some!!! good video btw, see if u replied???
Hey! Not sure how many other TH-cam creators there are in Indy. What's your channel?
@@LivingInIndianapolis "Grubb Mudd concrete"
shout out suburbs, avon danville!!! bburg!!
there are some busses that come out to plainfield, more like shuttle to get to the warehouses, an uber is easy from avon and danville. 15 mins and they are here. I used to not have a car so I know this very well. yeah it sucks but the busses come out to raceway rd. and u can uber the rest of the way or shuttle, or ride a bike to where u need to get. no biggy as long as u r not walking. glad the west side ain't like the east side!!!
What's your motive for trying to move people to Indianapolis?
Great videos but sometimes it is useful to put things in perspective, for people that are not from IN. Some examples? It is mostly locals that claim Indy is the sports capital of the world (and indy 500 the biggest thing in the racing world? really? does it top formula 1 and MotoGP?). Also, yes, you buy more house for your money, but what do you see when you look outside your window? (In many places the 15 million dollar view obviously costs 15 million dollars, in some places it is cheaper). And yes, the airport is great and so easy to travel from and to, but there is also some detail...how many international flights does it accommodate? (ask a European living in Indy and they'd tell you). Finally, Mass Ave, Fountain Square...don't you think we exaggerate a but about the nightlife there? Sure, it is as good as it gets in midwest but...perspective! OH, AND I DO LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. thank you!
To be fairly honest the homeless population in fishers is quite low and if someone is homeless in fisher they are treated quite well.
That violent crime rate has gone up quite a bit we are 23 most violent city in america
He often mentions certain areas which are bad and to stay away from, but I haven't seen him state them. Do you know which he's talking about?
What about groceries? Are there a lot and convenient to access?
There are grocery stores all over the place. Kroger is the big chain here. But, in addition to that for groceries we have Super Target, Wal-Mart, Meijer, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Fresh Thyme, tons of Farmer's markets, and several other small groceries. It's pretty difficult to find a place in the city or the suburbs where you're more than just a few minutes from a grocery store.
@@LivingInIndianapolis Kroger's is the best, out here is called King Soopers.
@@LivingInIndianapolis That sounds great!! Very convenient.
@@jimwalsh233 Great to hear. I have personally not been to a Kroger's before.
@@LivingInIndianapolis Actually do you have a downtown area for rental to recommend? or particular one.
Haha this was super interesting... I lived in Indy for 26 years and yeah, if you live in Noblesville/Fisher's area it's cruisey and pretty cheap. If you live anywhere downtown it can turn into 8 Mile real quick. I lived on Northern Avenue by the Colliseum and it's an absolute shithole and I was defintely robbed there. I had my house broken into... So, just stay clear of that. If you have money move to Carmel as it's super nice, but know the rest of the State will look at you as some snoody snood. But, in general,Indiana is crazy cheap to live in, in contrast to other major cities or countries (I live in New Zealand now and cost of living is like double what I was paying in Indy). Indy is good if you want a cheaper financial lifestyle but still get the convienences of city life and events and if you're not bothered by shitty weather and shady neighborhoods.
What's the rent like in New Zealand? Or do you own?
@@LivingInIndianapolis At the moment I pay $380 a week, but if I were to buy the cheapest house on the market where I live at the moment is like $450,000 and they tend to be on the small side and like perched on the side of a hill or something. There's not a lot of flat land.
If I were to live in like a bigger city like Auckland I think house are starting around $750,000
@@MrAwesomeBrett Wow... that's expensive!
What about areas for mid-life singles who don't want a house, have no small kids and wants some diversity?
If I weren't married with kids I'd likely live in a condo on or near Mass Ave. One of my favorite places in Indy. Check out the video to get a little more info on what it's like! th-cam.com/video/Vwn_h0WuZS0/w-d-xo.html
What about the Tornadoes???
They would be ugly! But, in reality we don't have as many as people think.
@@LivingInIndianapolis live in miami ,we say the same about the hurricanes.
Still not a happy times when it comes :(
@@F142Lock That's for sure. Although, hurricanes are much more widespread. I've lived in Indiana for 46 years and have never seen a tornado in person.
What city in Indian do you live in?
Here in Carmel they're not allowed. Too many nice, new buildings.
What’s the asian culture like in Indy?
There's some asian culture here but doesn't come close to what you'll find in a bigger city like Chicago.
Carmel is a candy, Car-mel is a city.
Ha Ha! It's true. I actually have a video about Carmel coming up and I address that very thing. You're right... carmel is a candy but that's how it's pronounced here. I guess it distinguishes the Carmel here from the Carmel in California. Well, other than the coast, Pebble Beach, etc...
It's pronounced like the candy.
