Broad Ripple is a hub for entertainment, art and events
Broad Ripple’s nightlife and eateries are set against a backdrop of art galleries, murals and public art. “People come here for the clubs, pubs, and restaurants.

The Vogue, an integral part of the neighborhood’s buzzing nightlife scene, is a storied nightclub and music venue that hosts dance parties, concerts and special events.

Diverse housing options in an in-demand market
Broad Ripple’s housing market is as diverse as its community. “The housing market is always strong there just because you have everything,” says Tommy Johnson, a Realtor with @Properties. “You have people that have been there for 50 years, you have young people wanting to live there for the short term, you have a lot of investors buying there because they know there’s a strong rental market there, so it’s a good mix.” You’ll find early 19th-century Cape Cods, cottages, bungalows and ranch-style homes with red brick exteriors or Tudor Revival, Federal and Craftsman designs. There’s also condos and spacious two-story Federal, Colonial Revival and American Foursquare houses. Residents will find parking on the street or detached garages and parking spaces behind homes.
Condos typically range from the low $200,000s to the mid-$300,000s. Most single-story homes range from the low $200,000s to the low $400,000s. Two-story houses and properties with larger yards start around $400,000 and can reach the high $600,000s. The neighborhood’s most expensive homes often have more yard space, extensive renovations or were built within the past 10 years and can range from the mid-$600,000s and top $1 million.
Condos priced between $230,000 and $350,000 feature Italianate architecture.
New construction traditional homes are a popular choice as Broad Ripple continues to grow.

Where to find bars, live music and nightlife in Broad Ripple
Broad Ripple has long been one of the city’s go-to spots for bar hopping and entertainment. College students flock to bars like Kilroy’s and Brother’s Bar and Grill.

Alley Cat, a long-time watering hole with affordable drinks

Thieves, an intimate bar with creative cocktails
Johnson recommends eateries like Fire by the Monon, which serves up craft beer and pub grub, and Monon Coffee Co., a cozy coffee shop. Try Cholita Tacos or 317 BBQ for dinner and stop by BRICS Ice Cream Shop for dessert. The Broad Ripple Farmers Market offers fresh produce and local goods year-round.

You can also hop on an IndyGo Red Line bus to get to downtown. Interstate 465 is a few miles away.

Living in Broad Ripple after high school was wonderful. I loved walking to cafes in the morning or to gab a bite to eat. Everyone is so nice and friendly.

I love the community events available, I love that it's somewhat small but has a variety of restaurants and shops. I wish the construction wasn't as bad, and I would like to see better traffic patterns.

Broad Ripple is like a little village within Indianapolis. It used to be known as the post-college party scene in the early 2000's. It still has a bar scene, but many who moved there after college decided to stay and are raising their families here. There are lots of small businesses and restaurants and the Monon trail cuts through the middle of town.
