Our Neighborhood
Welcome to our neighborhood. We're close to everything, including perfect!
A mile and a half west, just north of 38th Street, you'll find the newly renovated Art Museum of Indianapolis, featuring Puck's (as in Wolfgang) Restaurant.
And, on the south side of the street, you'll find the venerable Woodstock Country Club, home to several national tennis championships over the years.
Just over a mile east, you'll find the always-busy Indiana State Fair Grounds, which has a feature every month of the year, as well as ice skating, concerts and racing.
Immediately north of 40 North is the casually elegant Meridian/Kessler neighborhood, featuring rich architecture from the first part of the 20th century. You'll also find some interesting retail corners, such as 49th and Penn (with dry cleaner, drug store, hardware store, wine shop, Café Patachou, Meridian Heights Cleaners, Hoaglin to Go, and more) and 56th and Illinois (with the 56th Street Food Emporium, drug store, liquor store, Ohh Yumm!!, a pet food store, Kincaid's Meats, a grocery store, G. Thrapp Jewelers, a children's book store, bank and more).
Just north and east of Meridian Kessler lie South Broad Ripple (called SoBro) and then Broad Ripple, with the lovely neighborhood of Forest Hills tucked in between. SoBro houses the Jazz Kitchen, Yats, Aristocrat, soon-to-be Fresh Market, the Piano Merchant, Windwoods, Taste, Moe & Johnny's, the Bulldog Lounge and the venerable Red Key, to name a few. Forest Hills borders on the Monon Trail and is a quieter, more intimate version of Meridian Kessler.
Broad Ripple boasts almost too many specialty shops, restaurants and bars to mention - and many of the latter feature outside dining in spring, summer and fall. Here's a try: Broad Ripple Steak House, Corner Wine Bar, Sunflower Market, Broad Ripple Tavern, CT Peppers, Union Jack, Binkley's Kitchen and Bar, Bazbeaux Pizza, Midtown Café, Big Hat Books, the Red Room, the Upper Room, Chumley's, Blu, Old Pro's Table, the Rock Lobster, Usual Suspects, the Vogue, Qdoba, Plump's Last Shot, Broad Ripple Brew Pub, some franchise fast food - and believe it or not, a handful of others.
And, of course, the fun and atmosphere of pro sports, music and theatre, more restaurants and a downtown mall are just a short drive down Meridian Street into the heart of Indianapolis.
You're in the middle of it all, with city views and a Meridian/Kessler viewpoint.
