Pros & Cons of Living in Indianapolis 

I appreciate your input- you're so right. It's a beautiful site!

I love this feedback! Thank you!

Weather and scenery no but laws and freedom yes

Shhhhhh be quite don’t tell other Californians they already ruined AZ

Question, I am in the bay area and love the weather here. Realize this is not CA and there are four seasons. I lived in Boston and NY for 9 years and could not take it or the weather any longer. Is winter super cloudy and depressing for four months. How did you do when you moved from CA with the change and dreariness? Thanks for the feedback!

@@thegefster1988 I saved my money during the rest of the year and traveled during the winter.

Thanks for the feedback! That's something I'll keep in mind when I make an updated video!!

I haven't seen a city yet that has a great scene for singles

I 💯 agree!

Hey there! I should be appreciative of having all 4 seasons lol what a blessing! This winter was VERYYY mild though so I really didn't have much to complain about ;) This spring has been amazing so far with a lot of early blooms!

Cool 😍

haha! I guess we just really want the people to know 😁

That would be awesome. We have those minor league teams... but with it being the sports capital you'd think we'd have pro teams!

Yeah, with this being such a big city it's hard to escape crime as a whole. But like you said, there's a lot to make up for it! Hopefully some more peaceful times will be ahead!

Cons; Mike and Greg Pence, total absence of a meaningful art and music scene, ubiquitous racism, 5 churches on every block, low wages (unless you work for Lily or Purdue), Trump fanaticism, lousy weather, over-policed North side, judgmental people, low graduation rates, meth and heroin are in every neighborhood and everybody blames minorities, but nobody blames Purdue Pharma, lousy tax subsidized sports franchises, and holy cow...are the restaurants in Indianapolis awful. Once you have eaten in almost ANY other state, you will realize just how bad the food is in Indianapolis. Yuck.

Hey Educa, you're able to click the CC at the bottom of the video and they'll be generated. Hope that helps!

Of course! We have a great police force throughout Indiana- and funding has risen to help our city and surrounding areas continue towards safety for all.

It’s a Constitutional Carry state

@@pikus7450 Thanks for your help on this one!

Hey Jimmy, I hope the comment below helped. Let me know if I can be of any assistance if you decide to make the move. paige@bestlifeindianapolis.com

I'm not sure what you're trying to say? The IMS is literally in Indianapolis. It's 5.5 miles from the circle. The airport is outside the 465 loop near Plainfield... 13 miles from the circle.

@@theIndyHomeGirl IMS is technically in speedway. Just because something is “inside the circle” vs outside the circle” is not what defines the city. The city is all of the county (Marion county) minus Beech Grove, Lawrence, Southport, and SPEEDWAY. And 465 does not surround the whole county. The Indianapolis Airport is literally on 465. Yes it technically has a Plainfield address but is much closer to Indy proper than Plainfield. I was literally just messing around and being silly, but since you got all defensive, i thought I would point that out.

As a very large city it's hard to completely escape crime. I don't have the research to answer your question- but I'm sure there's data available. Hopefully there are some more peaceful times in the future!

I'm from Detroit and I go to indy all the time and noooo it's not as Bad as Detroit trust me 😆

On the East and West side (somewhat North and South) the crime is spotty. But in the crime ridden areas, the crime is pretty consistent. But, the further you go in any direction, the less crime you'll see. As far as the East side goes, the crime is relentless. I lived in Indianapolis for 30 years, all over, and I can honestly say, the Eastside was the worse. Just stay tf away and don't test that part of Indy.

@Troy Ehnisz Just stay away from the far eastside (Post Road) and you'll be good

The property crime is quite bad and the cops don't do much to deter it, but violent crime is mostly contained to certain parts of the city and drugs. We do have a lot of drug users, tho, of all backgrounds.

Thank you for watching!

California is racist in some places. I'm saying this to let you know that hate is everywhere. The thing is to not let it be inside of you. My daughter lives in indianapolis, and she loves it. She moved there from California.

Yes! So excited for the growth of my channel. Thanks for watching!

Well, the White River does run through the heart of the city. So.....

Not really of course you may bump into a few but that's any state you go to and not just white people

@@esmokebaby thanks for a honest response. I was convinced not to move there due to racism in Indianapolis and also outside of Indianapolis

Naw, it's pretty liberal.

@@erejo3274 I think people exagerrate that stuff, I'm also black and had a similar experience of people telling me not to go to cities in red states because they were racist. I've actually had the opposite experience. I haven't had any issues I've be more welcomed here by both black and white people then in my old city

Hey Ryan, I appreciate your input. With it being such a dense city it is hard to escape all crime. I hope you understand my being a licensed REALTOR, I am unable to report on crime statistics, etc. I always want to keep my business ethical an do not want to cause any steering or redlining- but ALWAYS suggest my clients look up their areas of concern :) Additionally, I LOVE living in Hamilton County!

the race track is not southwest lol it's on the westside
