Broad Ripple
Six miles north of downtown Indianapolis, along the canal of the White River, lies Broad Ripple. Bordered on the east by College Avenue and on the west by Keystone, it is one of the city's most sought after destinations for dining, shopping, live entertainment, or just taking in the scenery and greenery while walking or biking. The residential streets surrounding the vibrant commercial district offer a mix of detached houses and condominiums, and they typically move fast due to the prized location.
The Monon Trail (above), an 18.1 mile trail, runs right alongside the heart of Broad Ripple Village, making it one of the most cycle friendly neighborhoods in the city.
The detached homes in Broad Ripple are usually of the bungalow or ranch style. Above, a view down Winthrop Ave, displaying a typical residential block in the area.
