Indy Maven polled its readers, contributors, board members and team members to create a guide for any Maven new to the neighborhood.
Did you know Indy has more monuments than any other city in the U.S. besides Washington D.C.? Now you do. The city was originally planned to span four square miles — the downtown boundaries of North/South/East and West Streets represent the original Mile Square. For capacity purposes, we are including Mass Ave. in this guide.

Please note: We are not cartographers. Some of us here at Indy Maven may not even be great with directions. Using broad, geographic boundaries, we are highlighting the most well-recognizable neighborhoods for these guides. If a spot is within a 5-minute drive, but not technically in the ’hood, you may find it included anyway. This is a living breathing guide, ever-evolving, and a community effort. This is your guide, so please, if you see something that’s missing, share it with us in the Updates, Corrections, and Additions Center.
