What It’s Like Living at the “Crossroads of America”

September 29, 2021 by Annie

Indianapolis, Indiana is an intersection of many things: travel, climate, economic opportunity, and the residents it attracts. Though it is the 15th-largest city in the United States, it offers a small-town feel with its patchwork neighborhoods outside of the bustling downtown.

The growing economy presents opportunities for both young professionals and established careers; the culture caters to families and individuals alike; the location affords easy access to travel both within the state and afar – and it’s all wrapped up in the experience of four seasons throughout the year and a friendly Midwest attitude.

Entertainment for Everyone

Indy has a diverse entertainment and cultural scene that includes a variety of museums, sports, outdoor activities, and experiences. It’s home to the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, touted as the world’s largest children’s museum with its 479,000 square feet and five floors of exhibit halls.

There’s also the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Indianapolis Zoo, and the Benton House Historic Garden. Eagle Creek Park’s ample land and water is host to activities like sailing, rowing, and shooting, while White River State Park has 250 acres of green space, waterways, and trails in the heart of downtown.

Sports fans can catch a game from the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts or NBA’s Indianapolis Pacers, as well as attend the Big Ten Football Championship held there yearly. Not to be forgotten is the Indianapolis 500, known as The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.

Nightlife is plentiful and varied, with pubs, comedy clubs, high-end dining, and cocktail lounges. The Slippery Noodle is the city’s oldest bar, Helium Comedy Club is an intimate venue great for laughs, and St. Elmo Steak House is a fine-dining landmark that’s been around since 1902.

Getting Around, In and Out of Town

If you like to venture outside your locale often, the Circle City is a great jumping-off point; after all, there is a reason it’s called the Crossroads of America. Several major interstate highways crisscross Indiana for easy access to out-of-state destinations. Indianapolis sits at the junction of four major Interstate Highways: Interstate 65, Interstate 69, Interstate 70, and Interstate 74.

Traveling by air is also easily done, as the Indianapolis International Airport has all major US airlines, as well as flights to over 40 non-stop domestic destinations.

Within the city, transportation is just as accessible. IndyGo is the city’s public transit system, and the Indianapolis Cultural Trail is an 8-mile pedestrian and bike path that connects neighborhoods and gives access to restaurants, shopping, and entertainment venues.

Downtown to Down-Home

A spot downtown may feel like a perfect fit, or perhaps a quieter residence with room to breathe is your style. Both are attainable in Indianapolis and affordable.

The city boasts a low cost of living, and according to the US News and World Report Real Estate, the median home price is $277,071. Indianapolis houses for sale are unique in that they offer a fraction of the cost of living seen in big cities like Chicago or San Francisco, without sacrificing abundant culture and opportunity.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
