About

LIFE IN INDY

Imagine a place where passion meets innovation.

That’s the Indianapolis region—a place where creators and doers come together to inspire progress and discover solutions. Where our hospitality is only matched by our ambition. And where everyone can find their community in a place they love to call home.

Life in Indy is all about creating the life you want to live. Take a few minutes to explore our region, and you just might realize that Indianapolis is the perfect place for you to grow.

Explore a walkable downtown.

No car—no problem. Indianapolis is interconnected and accessible, so you can see the sites around downtown without ever needing to call a ride. With 153 miles of trails and about 100 miles of bike lanes, Indy is built for the runner, bike rider, and eco-friendly explorer in all of us.
