Old Northside pairs grand, turn-of-the-century architecture with an easy, urban rhythm just north of Downtown Indianapolis. Broad, tree-lined streets showcase meticulously restored Victorian and Arts & Crafts homes, while pocket parks and wide sidewalks make everyday life feel welcoming and walkable. Residents love the quick commute, bike-friendly connections to the Monon and Cultural Trails, and proximity to dining along 16th Street and nearby Herron-Morton Place and Fall Creek Place.
History buffs can step inside the neighborhood’s centerpiece, the beautifully interpreted Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site, tour the ornate Morris-Butler House, or attend concerts and lectures at the Indiana Landmarks Center. The gilded-era Indianapolis Propylaeum anchors community events, teas, and intimate performances, adding cultural depth just a stroll from front porches and carriage houses. Weekend routines often include coffee at local roasters, brunch on 16th, and a walk to Bottleworks or Mass Ave entertainment, with downtown sports and theaters minutes away.
Families appreciate the academic options: the award-winning Herron High School sits close by with a classical, college-prep focus, and IPS magnet programs offer inquiry-based learning within reach. Commuters benefit from quick access to I-65/70 and frequent bus routes, while the neighborhood’s active associations keep preservation and progress in balance.
