Hey there miles. Welcome to the site!
I am from northwest Indiana, lived in Indianapolis for a few years and have moved north again. Just closing on my fourth deal in yeah one up here.
Where do you all predict the next growth market is for Indy? Broad Ripple is already near the peak, Fountain Square is likely going to have gotten too hot already too. I am considering getting back into the city to invest. What do you all think of possibly the near north side, just north of Fall Creek? I could see the Herron Morton trend moving up that way.
Honestly, I don't know enough to answer that question yet. I know there are some young tech folk who live in the Irvington area, but not sure if that's going to take off. I've heard people speculate that it seems time for the Western side of downtown to receive attention (even Haughville, perhaps), but I think it's still mostly speculation. Following the trends with Brip and Fountain Square, I think it's a matter of figuring out where the artists are putting their work spaces and galleries for First Friday these days (and/or where the local music is happening). That will start the migration to that area of the city, and we'll get our next Fountain Square. :-) I clearly need to talk with more people 15 years younger than me, because I'm now out of touch with all of that.
Plus, I don't think anyone really knows what repercussions the Redline might have.
