Upscale
Downtown Indianapolis is a true marvel of American urban design, and is rightly recognized as one of the stylistic gems of the Midwest. The grand architecture of the various government buildings and museums ranges from neoclassical to ultra-modern, creating a timeless and visually stunning environment. Huge monuments and war memorials punctuate the landscape as well – in fact, Indianapolis has more such public tributes than any city in America apart from Washington, DC. Downtown features a thriving nightlife scene, mainly along Meridian Street and Massachusetts Avenue and incorporating an immense selection of bars, clubs, and live music venues for every taste. The dining is unbeatable, with world-class restaurants of every description within a short walk from anywhere and the popular Food Truck Fridays delivering more eclectic fare during the summer months. The Downtown housing market is unique and diverse, ranging from upscale high-rise units to an abundance of surprisingly affordable studio apartments, and dozens of apartment buildings appear on the National Register of Historic Places. The abundance of lower-cost options is great for students (as well as faculty and staff) attending Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, whose campus sits along the White River on the west side of Downtown.
