Indianapolis is a county-sized city with a ring road, and the ring hides how different its parts are. Inside 465, downtown's Mile Square, Fountain Square, Broad Ripple, Irvington and Meridian-Kessler are older streets of bungalows, Tudor revivals, condos and apartments.
North of 96th Street the county line hands you Carmel, Fishers, Westfield and Noblesville: newer subdivisions, bigger lots and long commutes on US 31 and I-69. South on I-65, Greenwood looks toward Johnson County, and west toward Avon and Plainfield is another drive-time world.
Zillow, Realtor.com and the MIBOR listing feed capture the people browsing for homes. Brokers work under Indiana license law and trades under Indiana contractor rules, and HeyLead holds neither. Sales tax is Indiana's, and every number we report is in dollars.
