The New Downtown: Get to Know Downtown Indy Apartments

A nickname cheat-sheet—because “the place with open floor plans, rooftop access, and stainless-steel appliances” no longer narrows the field in downtown’s booming rental market.

Monthly rent refers to the least expensive one-bedroom apartment.
