Out of state investing in Indianapolis neighborhood information

[Sourabh Bora]

I created a few resources that out of state buyers might find useful in gaining insight into the Indianapolis market

1) Neighborhoods and their classification on a map ( A, B, C, D = using input from the forums)

zip code boundaries

starbucks, whole foods, hospitals, etc

I also think it is REALLY elegant...great job!  But, it is not completely accurate.  Living in Indy, I can tell you that the listings of gang presence are not accurate.  The gangs are all but gone.  An a middle-aged white male, I ride my bike through those areas regularly with ZERO problems.  

After the super-bowl a few years ago, the city earmarked millions of dollars to improve streets, roads, bridges, and infrastructure.  They built community centers, and increased the police force by nearly 35%.  This has had a profound effect on the city....there is gentrification everywhere, both residential and commercial, much of which is not shown on this map.  

We are heavily invested in B/C-class here, and doing really well...we find great properties very inexpensively here on "the streetz."  Of course, great rehabs, and firm management are the keys to making it these properties perform.

If you really want to learn a city, these maps are great, but it's hard to get the real picture of ANY town, without seeing it for yourself.
