From nationally recognized sporting events to a thriving arts and culinary scene, Indy is a city where you can truly live, work, and play.

What Makes Indy Special
As the Racing Capital of the World and home to the largest single day sporting event on the globe at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianapolis operates on a massive international scale. Yet, the daily pace remains incredibly accessible and connected. The city is seamlessly woven together by the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, an internationally acclaimed eight mile urban path that safely links all six downtown cultural districts for pedestrians and cyclists.
This heavy investment in local infrastructure leads directly into highly distinct, walkable neighborhoods. Residents can easily spend a weekend exploring the largest children's museum on the planet, cheering on the Pacers downtown, or taking the twenty mile Monon Trail straight to a local brewery. Whether you want the independent theaters and local dining along Massachusetts Avenue, the vintage duckpin bowling and eclectic music venues of Fountain Square, or a quiet residential street in Broad Ripple, living in Indianapolis provides immediate, affordable access to experiences that simply do not exist anywhere else.
