I love the stores and eateries in the neighborhood. Growth and development are very prevalent. Great options of schools from public to charter.

Lived here 47 years, moved from Broadripple, Irvington doesn't have Br's hard edge. Great place to raise a family. Small town feel, 5 miles from City center. Neat wildlife and birds. Opossums,raccoons,rabbits, and maybe a coyote. Lots of owls and a red tailed hawk or two. Nice neighbors.

I love the feeling that I get whenever I walk through this neighbourhood! The small businesses are very interesting and sell anything from guitars to Vietnamese food.
