I moved to IN from AZ. I love the winters here. So nice to not have a neverending summer anymore! I don't live in the Indy metro area, I live in a "boring" small city but I love it. Best decision of my life was moving out here.
The most middle of the road place in America. There is a traffic circle near the center of town (it's a town, btw, not a city) with a monument to the Spanish American War in it. It's called "Monument Circle". There is a obelisque-shaped WW2 monument on a square city block just a little north of that - it's called "Obelisque Square". Indy really is to most normal, average, dull, uninteresting place I have every been - but if you want a nice quiet affordable place to live and raise a family - it's a fine town for you. Don't every expect it to get interesting. The city motto ought to be "you can never be too careful."
That's an interesting take. Indianapolis is the 15th-largest city in the United States (definitely not a "town"). Compared to New York City, of course Indy is small, but compared to hundreds of other cities in the US, Indy is quite large. Thanks again for watching!
I grew up in Frankfort, Indiana. Used to go to Lafayette Square Mall, Castleton Square Mall, 38th Street KMart, and White Castle on Saturdays. My favorite was the caramel corn at GC Murphy's in Lafayette Square Mall. My Uncle Mark lived in Indy and my Grandma Richie lived in Beech Grove.
Indiana just changed to daylight savings time. It was not like that when I was a kid. The roads are absolutely terrible. The crime rate in Indianapolis is off the rails. Do not live there. Get out before it gets dark. All of us who grew up there and had the means to get out, got out by 2010. And if you do commute there for work, you better install a swivel where your neck is. I would recommend not moving within 60 minutes of Indianapolis.
@@staceycarroll7973 Indiana started observing daylight saving time in 2006, and I’m still not used to it. Traffic and crime downtown can be rough sometimes, but to say it’s not worth living within 60 minutes of downtown Indy is certainly a stretch. Most of the highest-rated school systems and highest property values are within 20-30 minutes of Indy (some are even on the border). But hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thanks for watching!
@@geesamanhomes I left in the early 2000s. Got sick of daylight savings time, among other things, moved back in 2010ish. I hate daylight savings time with a passion. I was sorry to see it here. I understand you're trying to sell houses, so I won't elaborate any further on why I say that. I wish you luck in your ventures.
Winters are long and last from November to May? Not even close. You must have an odd definition of winter weather. The really bad winter weather usually lasts 3-4 weeks. The rest of winter is chilly but not unbearable.
Sometimes it remains so cold in the spring that it can feel like winter; sometimes we still get snow in April and morning temps in May can still be in the 40's. Brrrrr 🥶
@@geesamanhomes 40s in the morning is NOT winter. It's normal for spring. And, yes, it occasionally snows in April. In the 10 years I've lived here the latest it has snowed is April 19th but that was unusual. Then the sun comes out and it's gone within 24 hours. The winters here are not bad at all and if you like warmth 12 months out of the year, the Midwest is not for you.
Yup, here in southern Indiana for entertainment we sit outside and watch the corn grow. It's rural and not exciting, and violent crime is rare. We rarely have snow in the winter. I lived in Ft. Wayne for 11 years and enjoyed it but the random+senseless crime got me to leave.
The only happy people in Indy are those who commute from Hamilton County, assuming they can afford it. Small town living in Indiana is great. Towns like Greenfield, Frankfort, Tipton, and others are the places to be.
I don't think it's fair to say the ONLY happy people in the Indy area live in Hamilton County, but I think I understand what you're trying to say. Living in an area with a lot of amenities, good property values, and highly-rated schools certainly helps. Thank you for watching, thanks for the comment, and I hope you have a great day!
Right now the low cost of living is the largest perk for most people that are moving to Indy from out of state. Definitely not a bad place to live, but could always be better.
Interesting....is not known for anything...except the single biggest sporting event in the world. Indpls has no major public transportation system, but most drive cars and, if necessary, you can easily drive from one end to the other. I would have thought any realtor assessment would have included Indy's public school system. And lastly, while not everyone is interested in sports, we do have 2 professional teams that have been national champions....and are renowned for our collegiate tournaments and events.
@@geesamanhomes Correct....we have no oceans/lakes or mountains and never will. But we also don't have slums and you can pretty much walk everywhere. Our communities are very integrated and we support each other....
I’ve lived several places, but Indy is my favorite. My videos are my opinions; feel free to create your own or watch other TH-camrs if you don’t like what I have to say.
I would say there are plenty of activities to do in and around the Indy area, with a lot of them centering around professional sports. I'm not aware of the Colts shopping around other markets, but I guess you never know! Thanks for watching!

Well damn!
Yeah, it really is like a big, spread out 'town'. The place is closed down by 11 anyway.
Winters really aren't that bad in Indy. Otherwise pretty accurate. But we have the largest city park in the country.

It's snowed at Ball State spring graduation on many occasions 😂😂😂😂

Some of the worst roads you can find in the country too.
Yeah there is one road in particular on the north side of Indy that’s nearly as bad as the Road to Hana in Maui. Thanks for watching!
It has never taken me an hour to get to the opposite side of town, unless there is really heavy traffic.
Don't know what Indy is known for? The Indy 500, the Brickyard 400, the Indians at Victory field, the Colts, the Pacers. Just to name a few.

Low population density makes public transportation very expensive.
Indy is like just a giant suburb. Life is generally easy in Indy.
I live here. Too backwards. Roads are horrible. Cost of living is decent which is the only perk. We rank low on so many metrics.
Right now the low cost of living is the largest perk for most people that are moving to Indy from out of state. Definitely not a bad place to live, but could always be better.
They mix politics with religion .☠️
It's an unfortunate reality nearly everywhere you go in this country.

@@mjgallagher8367 But other than those things you mentioned, Indy really isn’t known for much. 😉 Thanks for watching!

We kinda suck.
Every state has its positives and negatives. Thanks for watching!
There isn't much we are known for???
Well....ok. There's a few things we're known for. 😉
lol i dont think you want people moving to your state, i dont blame you
I'm all about educating people on what it's like here, but it's ultimately up to them if they are a good fit here in Indiana. Thanks for watching!
Is Clinton still nice. I was there in early 70s.
I’ve never need to Clinton, but thanks for watching!
Who ARE you, anyway? Where else have you lived? If you think there's nothing to do in Indy, that's on YOU.
I’ve lived several places, but Indy is my favorite. My videos are my opinions; feel free to create your own or watch other TH-camrs if you don’t like what I have to say.
They is zero to do here all Indiana has is, the 500 colts love to have the money to move out
