I tested a few "neighborhoods" in the application, and the unfortunately data can be highly misleading (Note: How this website defines "neighborhoods" may be different than common definitions (one simple example would be how they define the borders of Fountain Square - I don't think that most real estate professionals would say that Fountain Square goes that far east).Also, if you take as an example a neighborhood like Butler-Tarkington, on the south end (38th-42nd), it can be quite rough and $50k houses can be found readily, but in the northern end of the exact same neighborhood, you can find beautiful virtual mansions with manicured lawns which can easily be $500k - $1MM.So, just to summarize, while there are some "tools" which can be helpful, this just further illustrates once again, how difficult & challenging, Indianapolis can be & how one must do their own due diligence.Best,Matthew

I'm an artist, investor, and psychologist but always get the question is my art is in a gallery (it is not yet or may never be) and, it only gets tired or draining for me, because I can not yet say, "My work is owned by MOMA, or it hangs in the White House".
