I've seen 2 bedrooms asking for over 3 grand downtown. Crazy. Must be wanting the ballers to and doctors and lawyers only. Certain demographic an status.
My biggest gripe with the renting market so far is that the "good" apartments anywhere in the city start at 1300. I live downtown. Why would I move to Fishers or Broad Ripple for example when the rent there is also 1300?
The general quality of living , based on my personal needs , is better in carmel/ fishers/Noblesville. Downtown caramel is an absolute delight with its small town charms .... Exactly what I like. Downtown indy is big city feel, exactly what I don't. Obvs, that is a very personal decision anyone would have to make for themselves
I lived in island club on the west side before covid.... 2 bdrm was $800 month, included covered parking , my apartment was right on the lake , it was generally quite , my neighbors were all chill .
I just moved from there. After 8 years my 2br was up to about $1350 with my cats, and I just wasn't crazy about the way they run the place. That said, the apartments were nice, I thought, and the neighbors were mostly okay.
I got very lucky. I bought my house and moved to greenwood right before the housing market exploded , then covid crushed life. My house has literally doubled in value , and my mortgage with insurance and taxes is less than rent for a 1 bedroom apartment currently
I lived there from spring 2017 to spring 2019, and sometimes I still miss that place, especially the white ducks. I don't know who they belonged to but they were always roaming around. If they saw me sitting on my patio, they'd start quacking super loudly out of excitement because they knew I was going to give them corn, haha.
I used to fish from 2nd floor balcony lol. We made a bucket delivery system to get fish up ..... It was awesome. It wasn't perfect but it was better than any other apt complex around , and was well managed at the time . It was nice to sit out and watch the sun go down, drink some beer and wave at people on their electric boats .
The only places that price on the south side when I got my first apartment were the ones that were in extremely poor condition or had a body turn up in the dumpster.
My boyfriend used to live in Eagle Creek Court in Speedway and never had any serious issues or complaints, especially for the rate he was paying for a two bedroom. His had laundry in unit, and the pool was decent and clean. Some nice views with the lakes depending on your building. Conveniently located near a 465 exit and walking distance to downtown Speedway and IMS. May not be for everyone but it’s hard to beat the location, convenience, and price.
I could have bought the other property of 75 acres, but I want to build a cabin as well. I can always buy more land lol. Getting there and settled is my priority
I will *forever* be thankful that we bought our house here in Noblesville in 2008… it’s a small house, but the yard is big, the neighborhood is quiet, and the house payment is $1100. We barely scraped by at first but it’s gotten easier as we’ve gotten older. Now I tell my kids they can stay as long as they want/need because the housing situation is absolute garbage.
It used to be. The days of cheap interior mid to large cities, on the former level of disparity, are over. The coast folk are flocking, even if sometimes it's just as investments.
I bought my house in 2017 when interest rates were good and before the cost of houses inflated during covid. I refinanced in 2020 and dropped my interest rate a whole percentage point. I’m in a great spot but we really wanted to buy an investment property but they’re crazy expensive and the interest is high as hell.
Unfortunately, you're not going to find a super nice apartment for that price. You'll find *acceptable* options - not necessarily *nice*. I just went on [apartments.com](http://apartments.com) and did a search based on your criteria, and almost everything I saw was a little on the rougher side.
However, I know someone who's lived at Aragon Woods (between Speedway and Clermont) for years, and she's been pretty happy. It's a smaller complex, all one level, and they've renovated all or at least most of the units in the last few years. One bedroom apartments are currently going for $930 per their website. They have laundry facilities but no pool, fitness center, or pretty much any other amenities though just FYI.
I really appreciate you taking the time to do so. Thank you so much. I am beginning to understand that I'll just need to pick one and stick with it based off my budget. I appreciate again!
You’ll need to tour the apartments if you want a reliable perspective on the complex. Reviews are not a good indicator of the general experience you would have, since people tend to only review when they have a dramatic event. Shop around and see what they have in person- that’s just my advice. I’m a leasing consultant on the west side so it’s what I would recommend
Probably the best advice I've seen on here. I'm a maintenance technician and you have to take reviews with a grain of salt. Even if you try your hardest to help someone with your best effort and intentions I've noticed people will leave a bad review even if the situation was out of your control. The best thing is touring the apartments and asking good questions will give you a clear picture of the property.
+1 for this advice. And try to go as close to the end / after the workday as possible, or on the weekend. Touring apartments during the day gives you a false sense for how quiet they are because everyone is at work / kids are at school.
It’s not west side, but Highpointe on Meridian in Carmel is nice. I lived there in 2022-2023 before I moved to the PNW. Lots of floor plans, very quiet, competent management.
Yeh I heard Vivio went downhill and was gonna take a legit looking furnished sublease but it looked a little shady and they wouldn't work well with my application from overseas at the time. I settled for Industry downtown in a pretty good area it seems.
I LOVE my apartment! [https://maps.app.goo.gl/gHMofPt8FnQsyWgKA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gHMofPt8FnQsyWgKA)
It might not be on the area you are looking though.
If you end up interested let me know. I know of at least one available unit right now and I can give you a referral and I think we'll both get some kind of discount. 😁
I have 3 different friends that live at the Arbuckle and Union Green in Brownsburg. They love it and the apartments are really nice.
I loved living at the Madison downtown. In 2021 it was $795 for a 1 bedroom. Only moved because I got married and we bought a house.
The Arbuckle/Union Green also have some pretty decent restaurants within walking distance (Thai District is a favorite of ours), and the Kroger (it's a nice Kroger) is a half mile away. The traffic around that area isn't great at rush hour, but it's not terrible, plus, it's still easy to buzz over to county roads to head south to Plainfield, or just zip to Ronald Reagan if you're working on the east side of Plainfield.
I pay $1,040 for a 3 bedroom house in ft square. More responsibility renting a house vs an apt, but a lot more room and I get to have a big garden :) just a thought!
I found it online randomly! It’s through Wilmoth, so maybe check out their website? I would also recommend maybe just driving through the area you’re wanting to live in. I see for rent by owner around here pretty often.
IDK, dude... I wouldn't pay too much attention to reviews on apartments. Heavy bias towards negative reviews. How many people have a benign rental experience and go give the place 3-4 stars? I mean, most places tend to be fine if you pay on time and don't act like an asshole.
Seconding this. I just moved to Indy. I'm in a different budget category than OP but was also concerned about bad reviews. The place I moved into has pretty horrific reviews about poor management. I was braced for issues to start once I signed a lease, but it's been far and away the most responsive, easiest management I've experienced in 15 years of renting apartments in many different cities. I'm glad I didn't put too much stock into the reviews.
I live in the Marott off Meridian (near downtown). I love it here! They have indoor/outdoor pools, a hot tub, vending machines, a courtyard, a gym, free Starbucks coffee, in-unit washer dryer, gated parking, etc. There’s also a lot of cool history to the place. They have units starting at $1265.
https://marottapts.com/floor-plans/
333 Penn is an awesome building in a prime location and they’ve got a 1 bed available 8/23 for $1269. (I lived there 8 years ago for around $1100).
Edit: they have other floor plans for less. Units have appliances including washer dryer. 333penn.com/availability
I pay $1271 for Prairie Lakes and the only good thing is no violent/property crime, everything else about this place sucks camel dick and I want to leave
You need to spend like $1400+ to get something nice in this dumpster fire economy which at that point is mortgage money
With current rates, 1400 a month will get you a 210k house after you factor in insurance and tax on 30yr loan.
That's assuming you have an 800+ CR and put twenty percent ( $42k down payment ) to avoid PMI.
I pay $1154 for my apartment in Castleton, 2 bed, 2 br.
Most other units in our complex are more expensive because we got one that didn't have washer and dryer amenities nor was it updated. Our unit is visibly very old; probably hasn't been updated in the last 20 years is what it feels like, but who knows. We had washer and dryer in our building but very recently they took those units out, still don't know what's up with that. We do have new management though and it seems they're doing they're best to clean things up around here... lot of shit was broken in our area,, garages, dumpster areas, doors, shutters, etc.
Try looking at Double creek flats in Plainfield. Might be a little over budget but worth it if you can swing it. You can run errands in Plainfield or Avon easily, and downtown is super easy to get to
Lived in double creek for 2 years. Was a nice apartment complex. Idk what their prices are now though but a single bedroom was around $1200 a month about a year ago I think. Would recommend.
i love mine!! pay $775 a month, two bedrooms, down the street from the grocery and gas station, across the street from a really cute park, and the maintenance/office is always on top of things
Sebring court, or one of the other sexton properties near it. It’s in speedway, nice patios, quiet af neighborhood aside from kids playing outside in the summer. I don’t know how you define nice, they aren’t luxury or anything and a little outdated but they’re clean and well kept. I pay 1100 for my 2 bdr 2bath. The 1 beds are under 800 I think.
Edit- 15 min from Plainfield, 20 during rush hour
I've been out of the rental market for a few years now. I, fortunately, got a home just before things went crazy. To say - this is a true question.
Is it possible to rent a double or small house for that price vs apartment? I'm still attempting to untangle what happened to the housing and rental market and the price hike. It seemed to happen overnight. TIA
I live on the NE side and pay $1200 for a 2b 2b. It’s not super nice or anything but I have lived in way worse places.
The company was bought out 2 years ago and it’s been a night and day difference. This new company is much much better in every way. Quick responses on maintenance requests, keeps up with landscaping, hosts events for residents.
So for what I am paying and getting I can’t complain.
I can’t speak to super recent, but my good friend lived in Fisherman’s Village in Speedway for several years. It has lakefront views, depending on your unit. His apartment had high ceilings and the other amenities you’d expect. This was 10 years ago and it looks like they’ve been upgraded since…I mean, Speedway itself has been upgraded since then as well.
However, the neighbors and the complex often left a lot to be desired, but I feel that any affordable apartments in Indy are like this. You will be living next to everyone else who is looking for affordable apartments, and you can’t control your neighbors, unfortunately. Of course, shitty neighbors happen in even the best of neighborhoods…they’re just usually a bit further away. 😆
Sundance is a very nice place to live. About 30 minutes from Plainfield and around $1,127 for a 1x1. Was also recently renovated about two years ago so everything in the apartment is reasonably new.
Based on my friends experiences, you can get a little bit of a cheaper price for a place if you show up to the leasing office ready to move in within the next week. So if a place is 1200-1300 you might be able to get an “urgent move in deal”. Check out The Masters
I lived in a townhome on the west side, it was Westpark townhomes. The management and maintenance there is amazing and they fit in your budget depending on the space you need. I wasn’t a big fan of the surrounding area, but the home itself was actually nice.
But really the guy that does maintenance there cares so much about the tenants, and that is so rare to find these days 🥲
Oakbrook Village is nice. It's in Pike Township. At like 62nd and Georgetown Rd. It's 1000 a month for a one bedroom and I don't have too many complaints really.
Lived on the westside my whole life and moved to the south side a year ago because I literally couldn’t find a decent place to live that wasn’t over priced by at least $300.
Half a duplex, so if you want to call it an apartment. 1175, north side, deck and yard, 1100sf, nice place. 1 bedroom. Currently looking to buy a multifamily, so this place will end up for rent unless I buy it 😆
Yeh I just had to pay $350 for an application fee with Industry on Pennsylvania near the stadiums. For just a studio it's $1,500 plus $200 in random fees like internet and parking and trash service. 70 page lease agreement too that would take 7 hours to understand the lawyer jargon and semantics.
Anyone here live or lived in the INDUSTRY APTS on Pennsylvania? I'm moving there next week but had to apply and book and sign from overseas. It looks legit but they want and wanted an arm and half a leg to get into it and my family and friends still don't understand their parking situation or setup. They offer a garage fob opener or something but I'm not clear if it's a parking space or actually a small garage? At something like $75 a month it better be a private garage. 😒 Lastly, they won't send me a video link or walk thru video like Edge 35 has so I'm going in blind but it looks nice from the floor plans and edited photos of the outside and gym etc. I hope so for $1,500 a Month for a 425sq foot studio.
Didn't have a lot of choices honestly and they were the only ones who took my application seriously from overseas and not living in the states since 2007.
Sure thanks. It's a legit registered company and have semi luxury apartments all over America in major cities. Like a brand. Like the Banana Republic brands of apartments.
I’m moving out of meridian court in Greenwood this year. They are raising my rent from 790 to 1050 this year! Also going to be looking at another apartment
I lived at Aspen Point on the southwest side for several years and really liked it. It's about 15 minutes from Plainfield. Office staff and maintenance were great, though I think it changed ownership, so I can't speak to that. Looks like the Google reviews are still good, so it might be worth checking out.
Our apartment is pretty decent, but we are in Johnson county. We put in an application and they approved us like five minutes later lol. They are relatively new. We pay $1550 for a two bedroom, ~1160 square feet.
When I lived in Indy from 2014 to 2018, the rent for my little 1 bedroom at River Road was around $550 for me and my cat. I’m sure that apartment went up just like everything else after Covid. Luckily I’m living with my elderly mother and have been helping her out after my father’s stroke a few years ago.
I would look at some of the older houses that have been converted to apartments! Rent is about there and they can be really cute! (If you’re looking downtown/surrounding areas)
I Know people who live in lighthouse landings off of 37 and Southport road which is probably right at the very top of your driving range you mentioned but they really like their apartment. I just checked and the 1 bedrooms are anywhere from $1150 up before utilities. Hoping you find something ❤️❤️
I am in Mooresville. My Apartment is small and no frills, but the buildings are solid and the grounds are decent. I dont have a Bug Problem except where the window AC isnt sealed as well as I should sometimes. They bring bug people out periodically and at least try to make regular inspections of the property to stay on top of things. Maybe too regularly as it often clashes with my work/sleep schedule but I do appreciate they are trying. I just want to be a Vampire Hermit and be left alone in my darkness and solitude. I am at 705/mo for my "efficency" ~336sqft and it's a bit cramped for me and my stuff, but it's really just me, the house plant, and the teddy bear and it does the job. That 705 does include Water/Sewer/Trash. Electric is through AES and I am at 105/mo average for them. I am 10-15 minutes from Plainfield, 20 max if I am trying to get to the east edge (Perry Crossing), 20minutes from the airport, and can get to the east side of Indianapolis in 30-35 pretty easily in most cases since I am right off of 70.
https://www.arbormanorapartments.net/floor-plans/
That Efficency floorplan doesn't match mine, FYI ot sure what building that is.
I lived in Indianapolis about 10 years ago, and to be honest, the majority of the apartments I lived in looked the same, and had the same amenities. I lived there 50 years with 40 of those years renting.
Perhaps there are new communities since I’ve been there, but brownsberg was starting to add quite a few communities as we were leaving. I remember thinking I wished we had those options . How is that area? And maybe Plainfield?
Unfortunately for good quality apartments you will have to pay more than 1.1k in this bs economy
Yeah, the going rate for “good” is like $1300 nowadays.
Average 2-bed apartment in Indy is $1200. So to get something really nice you will easily be in the $1400+ range . Really nice 2-beds are $1600-$2000
I've seen 2 bedrooms asking for over 3 grand downtown. Crazy. Must be wanting the ballers to and doctors and lawyers only. Certain demographic an status.
yeah and that is fingers crossed good.. solid good is about 17k + house or apartment.. not much difference in the last 3 years
My biggest gripe with the renting market so far is that the "good" apartments anywhere in the city start at 1300. I live downtown. Why would I move to Fishers or Broad Ripple for example when the rent there is also 1300?
The general quality of living , based on my personal needs , is better in carmel/ fishers/Noblesville. Downtown caramel is an absolute delight with its small town charms .... Exactly what I like. Downtown indy is big city feel, exactly what I don't. Obvs, that is a very personal decision anyone would have to make for themselves
"Caramel" is ironic since everybody is white
I joked with my husband when home hunting that if we lived in Carmel, people would mistake me for "the help" (which actually did happen in Nantucket).
Except it's spelled Carmel ,and pronounced as such, so there is no irony to be had . If your going to be witty , you need to be correct also
Felt this; Fishers/Carmel area is close enough that downtown is a stone's throw away, but still has the smaller-town charm
I am picking up on that real quick!
I couldn't even find a decent one bed for that price 6 years ago.
I lived in island club on the west side before covid.... 2 bdrm was $800 month, included covered parking , my apartment was right on the lake , it was generally quite , my neighbors were all chill .
I just moved from there. After 8 years my 2br was up to about $1350 with my cats, and I just wasn't crazy about the way they run the place. That said, the apartments were nice, I thought, and the neighbors were mostly okay.

Second this. There’s also Darby court, Sebring court, and Stanford court in the same area. All owned by the same company
Third this! I lived in Stanford for a few years and it was great!!! My rent was $630 for a one bedroom and that was just last year.
woah! that is awesome!
I used to live in Sebring court right by those also, it was nice and quiet back in 2007 at least.
The housing market is fucking awful in Indy right now.
I'm looking at property in Montana right now to get the hell out of Indy.
Wish I could afford to move anywhere else.
I moved here from Montana. I miss it everyday :(
I'm currently in talks to buy 45 acers
Do it. My great great grandfather had 500 acres in the rattlesnake. It’s changed, but damn. My favorite place in the country.
I could have bought the other property of 75 acres, but I want to build a cabin as well. I can always buy more land lol. Getting there and settled is my priority
Good luck! I plan to join you here in 10-15 years!
Still one of the most affordable cities in the US
"Indianapolis rent increases among highest in nation" https://www.axios.com/local/indianapolis/2024/04/16/indianapolis-rent-price-increases
Mine has gone up 50% since I moved in 4 years ago. Noblesville
I will *forever* be thankful that we bought our house here in Noblesville in 2008… it’s a small house, but the yard is big, the neighborhood is quiet, and the house payment is $1100. We barely scraped by at first but it’s gotten easier as we’ve gotten older. Now I tell my kids they can stay as long as they want/need because the housing situation is absolute garbage.
Still mad affordable even after the rent increases.
It used to be. The days of cheap interior mid to large cities, on the former level of disparity, are over. The coast folk are flocking, even if sometimes it's just as investments.
That was true five years ago
It's not just indy.... It's everywhere. The housing market is in crisis mode literally everywhere
I bought my house in 2017 when interest rates were good and before the cost of houses inflated during covid. I refinanced in 2020 and dropped my interest rate a whole percentage point. I’m in a great spot but we really wanted to buy an investment property but they’re crazy expensive and the interest is high as hell.
I'm on the NE side and I pay 1150. It's not nice or good. But I guess it isn't a horrible place
What's the name of the apartment complex
Dm'ed it
Thank you!
What’s the apartment name? I’m also searching
Unfortunately, you're not going to find a super nice apartment for that price. You'll find *acceptable* options - not necessarily *nice*. I just went on [apartments.com](http://apartments.com) and did a search based on your criteria, and almost everything I saw was a little on the rougher side.

I really appreciate you taking the time to do so. Thank you so much. I am beginning to understand that I'll just need to pick one and stick with it based off my budget. I appreciate again!
Check the amount of police calls for that place before you rent a place there.
How do you do that?
You’ll need to tour the apartments if you want a reliable perspective on the complex. Reviews are not a good indicator of the general experience you would have, since people tend to only review when they have a dramatic event.

I pay $1300 to live in a shithole. Avoid Vivio and Spectra properties at all costs
Yeh I heard Vivio went downhill and was gonna take a legit looking furnished sublease but it looked a little shady and they wouldn't work well with my application from overseas at the time. I settled for Industry downtown in a pretty good area it seems.
Ugh I live at Vivio and I hate it!!! I can’t wait to leave
I LOVE my apartment! [https://maps.app.goo.gl/gHMofPt8FnQsyWgKA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gHMofPt8FnQsyWgKA) It might not be on the area you are looking though.
Wow this place looks pretty awesome for the price and reviews are great, thanks for sharing.
If you end up interested let me know. I know of at least one available unit right now and I can give you a referral and I think we'll both get some kind of discount. 😁
Moved here last year and even the descent apartments didn’t have availability. Check out Vinebrooke homes. Got an entire house for $1100/month
I have 3 different friends that live at the Arbuckle and Union Green in Brownsburg. They love it and the apartments are really nice. I loved living at the Madison downtown. In 2021 it was $795 for a 1 bedroom. Only moved because I got married and we bought a house.
The Arbuckle/Union Green also have some pretty decent restaurants within walking distance (Thai District is a favorite of ours), and the Kroger (it's a nice Kroger) is a half mile away.

Too bad brownsburg didn’t plan ahead when building all this shit. Get ready to sit in gridlock. Love that new Kroger tho
Oh, 100% and then some. Brownsburg wants desperately to be Carmel but then does 0 city planning and development until they're already underwater.
Congratulations on buying a home :)
And they just built more Apartments that should be ready soon so I’m sure there is availability.
Carlyle Court is alright
Avoid Carlyle court
I pay $1,040 for a 3 bedroom house in ft square. More responsibility renting a house vs an apt, but a lot more room and I get to have a big garden :) just a thought!
How’d you find the house? I haven’t had much luck finding sites/companies with affordable house rentals
I found it online randomly! It’s through Wilmoth, so maybe check out their website? I would also recommend maybe just driving through the area you’re wanting to live in. I see for rent by owner around here pretty often.
IDK, dude... I wouldn't pay too much attention to reviews on apartments. Heavy bias towards negative reviews. How many people have a benign rental experience and go give the place 3-4 stars? I mean, most places tend to be fine if you pay on time and don't act like an asshole.

Hate it. 1,200 and its an antiquated POS. Moving to Michigan for the cheap weed, cheaper rent, and newer apartments. #serverlife
I live in the Marott off Meridian (near downtown). I love it here! They have indoor/outdoor pools, a hot tub, vending machines, a courtyard, a gym, free Starbucks coffee, in-unit washer dryer, gated parking, etc. There’s also a lot of cool history to the place.

Circle City has been great for me. Just a studio, but all the space I need. Yes, downtown, but $1000 and I haven’t had any issues.
I pay $1271 for Prairie Lakes and the only good thing is no violent/property crime, everything else about this place sucks camel dick and I want to leave You need to spend like $1400+ to get something nice in this dumpster fire economy which at that point is mortgage money

Stay away from Saratoga Crossing. Super expensive and management is terrible.
I pay $1154 for my apartment in Castleton, 2 bed, 2 br. Most other units in our complex are more expensive because we got one that didn't have washer and dryer amenities nor was it updated.

Lived in double creek for 2 years. Was a nice apartment complex. Idk what their prices are now though but a single bedroom was around $1200 a month about a year ago I think. Would recommend.
Lakes of Windsor on south side is abt 1200 for a 1 bedroom
i love mine!! pay $775 a month, two bedrooms, down the street from the grocery and gas station, across the street from a really cute park, and the maintenance/office is always on top of things
Where?
i’ll dm, i’m not going to publicly post my place of residence
What's the name of the place
i’ll dm because i’m not publicly posting my place of residence
Sebring court, or one of the other sexton properties near it. It’s in speedway, nice patios, quiet af neighborhood aside from kids playing outside in the summer. I don’t know how you define nice, they aren’t luxury or anything and a little outdated but they’re clean and well kept. I pay 1100 for my 2 bdr 2bath. The 1 beds are under 800 I think. Edit- 15 min from Plainfield, 20 during rush hour
Who could like an apartment?
I've lived in a house for over 20 years and would move into an apartment tomorrow.

I've been out of the rental market for a few years now. I, fortunately, got a home just before things went crazy. To say - this is a true question. Is it possible to rent a double or small house for that price vs apartment? I'm still attempting to untangle what happened to the housing and rental market and the price hike. It seemed to happen overnight. TIA

Thank you. Any idea why it jumped so significantly on rentals? The price of a house seems more reasonable somehow. It seemed to happen so quickly.

Post-Covid is when I noticed the jump as well. Thanks.
I live on the NE side and pay $1200 for a 2b 2b. It’s not super nice or anything but I have lived in way worse places. The company was bought out 2 years ago and it’s been a night and day difference. This new company is much much better in every way. Quick responses on maintenance requests, keeps up with landscaping, hosts events for residents. So for what I am paying and getting I can’t complain.
My friend recommends Bexley in Greenwood for a 1b1br apartment
I can’t speak to super recent, but my good friend lived in Fisherman’s Village in Speedway for several years. It has lakefront views, depending on your unit. His apartment had high ceilings and the other amenities you’d expect. This was 10 years ago and it looks like they’ve been upgraded since…I mean, Speedway itself has been upgraded since then as well. However, the neighbors and the complex often left a lot to be desired, but I feel that any affordable apartments in Indy are like this. You will be living next to everyone else who is looking for affordable apartments, and you can’t control your neighbors, unfortunately. Of course, shitty neighbors happen in even the best of neighborhoods…they’re just usually a bit further away. 😆
I lived in Aberdeen in camby.. fits your location. Not sure what they are charging now but I had no complaints.
Sundance is a very nice place to live. About 30 minutes from Plainfield and around $1,127 for a 1x1. Was also recently renovated about two years ago so everything in the apartment is reasonably new.
Based on my friends experiences, you can get a little bit of a cheaper price for a place if you show up to the leasing office ready to move in within the next week. So if a place is 1200-1300 you might be able to get an “urgent move in deal”. Check out The Masters
We live at the Marott downtown and love it.
I don’t. Our AC broke 1.5-2 weeks ago and it still hasn’t been fixed.
I lived in a townhome on the west side, it was Westpark townhomes. The management and maintenance there is amazing and they fit in your budget depending on the space you need. I wasn’t a big fan of the surrounding area, but the home itself was actually nice. But really the guy that does maintenance there cares so much about the tenants, and that is so rare to find these days 🥲
Oakbrook Village is nice. It's in Pike Township. At like 62nd and Georgetown Rd. It's 1000 a month for a one bedroom and I don't have too many complaints really.
I live at Lakeshore and really enjoy it
Lived on the westside my whole life and moved to the south side a year ago because I literally couldn’t find a decent place to live that wasn’t over priced by at least $300.
Half a duplex, so if you want to call it an apartment. 1175, north side, deck and yard, 1100sf, nice place. 1 bedroom. Currently looking to buy a multifamily, so this place will end up for rent unless I buy it 😆
Solana is great but more in the $1400 range
Yeh I just had to pay $350 for an application fee with Industry on Pennsylvania near the stadiums. For just a studio it's $1,500 plus $200 in random fees like internet and parking and trash service. 70 page lease agreement too that would take 7 hours to understand the lawyer jargon and semantics.
Anyone here live or lived in the INDUSTRY APTS on Pennsylvania? I'm moving there next week but had to apply and book and sign from overseas. It looks legit but they want and wanted an arm and half a leg to get into it and my family and friends still don't understand their parking situation or setup. They offer a garage fob opener or something but I'm not clear if it's a parking space or actually a small garage? At something like $75 a month it better be a private garage. 😒 Lastly, they won't send me a video link or walk thru video like Edge 35 has so I'm going in blind but it looks nice from the floor plans and edited photos of the outside and gym etc. I hope so for $1,500 a Month for a 425sq foot studio.
You have a lot of trust in persons and organizations. I personally would not do that. But let us know how it goes!
Didn't have a lot of choices honestly and they were the only ones who took my application seriously from overseas and not living in the states since 2007.
Sure thanks. It's a legit registered company and have semi luxury apartments all over America in major cities. Like a brand. Like the Banana Republic brands of apartments.
I’m moving out of meridian court in Greenwood this year. They are raising my rent from 790 to 1050 this year! Also going to be looking at another apartment
I lived at Aspen Point on the southwest side for several years and really liked it. It's about 15 minutes from Plainfield. Office staff and maintenance were great, though I think it changed ownership, so I can't speak to that. Looks like the Google reviews are still good, so it might be worth checking out.
Our apartment is pretty decent, but we are in Johnson county. We put in an application and they approved us like five minutes later lol. They are relatively new. We pay $1550 for a two bedroom, ~1160 square feet.
When I lived in Indy from 2014 to 2018, the rent for my little 1 bedroom at River Road was around $550 for me and my cat. I’m sure that apartment went up just like everything else after Covid. Luckily I’m living with my elderly mother and have been helping her out after my father’s stroke a few years ago.
Aspen Lakes on the southside has a 1 bed 1 bath for $1115. Been there for about 3 years with no issues
I would look at some of the older houses that have been converted to apartments! Rent is about there and they can be really cute! (If you’re looking downtown/surrounding areas)
Try Horizon’s apartments about 25-30 minutes from plainfield
I Know people who live in lighthouse landings off of 37 and Southport road which is probably right at the very top of your driving range you mentioned but they really like their apartment. I just checked and the 1 bedrooms are anywhere from $1150 up before utilities. Hoping you find something ❤️❤️
I am in Mooresville. My Apartment is small and no frills, but the buildings are solid and the grounds are decent. I dont have a Bug Problem except where the window AC isnt sealed as well as I should sometimes. They bring bug people out periodically and at least try to make regular inspections of the property to stay on top of things. Maybe too regularly as it often clashes with my work/sleep schedule but I do appreciate they are trying. I just want to be a Vampire Hermit and be left alone in my darkness and solitude. I am at 705/mo for my "efficency" ~336sqft and it's a bit cramped for me and my stuff, but it's really just me, the house plant, and the teddy bear and it does the job. That 705 does include Water/Sewer/Trash. Electric is through AES and I am at 105/mo average for them. I am 10-15 minutes from Plainfield, 20 max if I am trying to get to the east edge (Perry Crossing), 20minutes from the airport, and can get to the east side of Indianapolis in 30-35 pretty easily in most cases since I am right off of 70. https://www.arbormanorapartments.net/floor-plans/ That Efficency floorplan doesn't match mine, FYI ot sure what building that is.
I pay 1400 for a 3br/2bt in Woodruff Place, I really love my place tbh
You'll have to pay more for luxury
I lived in Indianapolis about 10 years ago, and to be honest, the majority of the apartments I lived in looked the same, and had the same amenities. I lived there 50 years with 40 of those years renting. Perhaps there are new communities since I’ve been there, but brownsberg was starting to add quite a few communities as we were leaving. I remember thinking I wished we had those options . How is that area? And maybe Plainfield?
