Review of Indianapolis, Indiana


Indy...a Welcomed Relief
Star Rating - 3/19/2008
Indy was rated #7 in the Housing Opportunity Index (7th best place to live to be able to buy a home based upon median home price, salaries, property and other taxes, cost of living, etc.). I decided to visit first to see if I would like it and I LOVE IT! I am MOVING HERE within the next 7 to 10 days! The people here are so warm, friendly, courteous, polite, and NOT nasty (like the nasty northerners I lived among in New Jersey). They are even courteous drivers and HARDLY EVER blow their horns! Indy has a BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN, SAFE rejuvenated vibrant downtown. Indy is very easy to get around in and if one wishes, it doesn't take long at all to get out "in the country" away from one of the nicest cities I've ever been in! If you love Country Music as much as I do, you would love it here as there are 12 Country Music radio stations within a 50-mile radius of Indy. So...I'm NOT considered "wierd" (as I was in Jersey) for liking Country Music. I wish I had visited Indy sooner and moved here sooner, but you're not supposed to say "could've/would've/should've". And...if you are a NASCAR fan, as I am, remember, Indy is the home of the Indy 500 in May!

Wow, a nice person from Jeryey? I'm in Naples, FL from Indianapolis. Everyone here is from either New York,, Mass, Or New Jersey and are the rudest people I've ever met in my life. I am leaving this miserable town and have no desire to visit those nasty states. I would move back but my wife won't with the cold weather. Lucky You.
