The nation's 13th largest city, Indianapolis, has gone through a dramatic revitalization and a stunning
renaissance that makes it a different place than it was just a decade ago. Indy is the perfect balance of
cosmopolitan style and small-town charm that makes it a successful destination for leisure travel,
conventions and group tours, catering to more than 21 million visitors a year. Downtown Indianapolis is
a thriving success story and model for revitalization. However, building a successful Downtown is an ongoing
process. A desirable mix of retail shops, restaurants, entertainment and employment must be woven into a safe,
clean and vibrant Downtown. Once this environment is established, momentum builds and new businesses are
attracted to Downtown, bringing employees, customers and a steady stream of people. From this group of people
that enjoy working and playing Downtown, many choose to live in the heart of the action.
Located in the geographic center of Indiana, Indianapolis is home to nearly 800,000 residents with homes
range from smaller single family homes for first time home-buyers, to condos and larger multi-family homes.
In addition to numerous parks and recreational facilities, Indianapolis is home to the Monon Trail, a 16.7
mile pedestrian trail that extends from Indianapolis to Carmel and Westfield. The city is also host to many
national and International conventions and events and will be host to the 2012 Super Bowl for the first
time in the city's history. Indianapolis also hosts the 500 mile Indianapolis 500 race and is home to the
Colts football team, the Pacers basketball team, the Indians baseball team and the Ice hockey team.
