Type of neighbourhood
Hello peeps,
I am looking around in your city and Im trying to understand a little.
How would you judge the neighborhood bounded with 46th and 42nd, and Promise and Hillside
Like for instance this house:
4526 Primrose Ave Indianapolis, IN 46205
Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to buy it I would just like to understand those few blocks. And maybe try and focus there.
Would You say that is B? Or maybe C? Crime seems to be not as bad as in some other places. Schools are not terrible, walk-ability not so bad.
So please hit me up!
Thanks in advance

Hi Milos,
I used to live down the street from the property you are looking at. The neighborhood gets better north of 46th, not as great as you get closer to the state fairground (directly south). That whole section of 46th st looks pretty tired with a lot of vacant retail. I would say it's a solid C neighborhood, you've got to go a little further North into SoBro before getting into the more B- and B blocks and there are some C- sections for sure. The area is quickly improving with plenty of flips already completed or underway. Also you're right down the street from the Monon Trail (most popular walking trail in central Indiana).
Elon Musks brother is opening a new resturaunt right down the street at 46th and College which has gotten some people excited and the new Red Line is being put in through College which should marginally improve public transit in the area.
