First settled in the 1870s as two small independent towns, Martindale and Brightwood share a history of change. Combined to form a single Indianapolis neighborhood, Martindale-Brightwood sits in the northeast quadrant of greater Indy just four miles from the downtown core. You can find houses and apartments for rent at scattered locations throughout this tree-covered neighborhood.

This district takes a proactive approach to community betterment. Local volunteers and neighborhood associations join forces with the Martindale-Brightwood Community Development Corporation to beautify the neighborhood and improve life for its residents.

Follow the locals for grab-and-go eats from one of the neighborhood's hidden gems. It doesn't get more out-of-the-way and one-of-a-kind than Jamaican Style Jerk. This little hole-in-the-wall serves up barbecue pork ribs and chicken curry patties that make your taste buds sing.
