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. It’s a mecca for the arts,” says Cara Conde, an advisor with SVN Northern Commercial. The Indianapolis Art Center features exhibits, classes and a 9-acre garden with art and sculptures. 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.
A full roster of events bring neighbors and visitors together throughout the year. In June, residents watch thousands of rubber ducks race down the central canal during the Broad Ripple Duck Race and 5K, a fundraiser for neighborhood programs.

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. Brick House Dueling Pianos has live music and karaoke, while patrons at Broad Ripple Brewpub can sip on craft beer on the patio. Other nightlife essentials include:
Alley Cat, a long-time watering hole with affordable drinks
The Red Room, a nightclub and popular dance spot
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. Broad Ripple also has plenty of shops and vintage stores, including Indy CD and Vinyl, a staple for classic records and hard-to-find albums.

The 27-mile Monon Trail runs directly through the neighborhood and connects bikers, joggers and even commuters to Indy and other communities like Carmel. You can also hop on an IndyGo Red Line bus to get to downtown. Interstate 465 is a few miles away.

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.

My parents grew up in Broad Ripple and went to that high school. They are sad to see the school close. My mother grew up in the apartments across the street from the school. My sister lived there as well. There are so many memories from young and old as well as the new memories made by all. The park offers a great place for your dogs to run. There are so many wonderful restaurants and bars for people of different tastes. The Vogue has great entertainment as well as Crackers Comedy Club. It is hard to imagine that my mom went to the Vogue when it was a movie theater and paid 50 cents. I can not wait for my memories of Broad Ripple that I have today and in the times to come to share with my newborn as she grows and ventures out into that great arena of fun .

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.

This area is safe. Residents living in Broad Ripple consist of young families and a lot of young and middle aged, single, profressional people. This area is dog friendly and has more dog owners / dog walkers I've ever seen in my life. I love that its close to everything. Overall, its a fun area to live in. The only thing I'd change about Broad Ripple is that the side streets / neighborhood streets need more lighting at night. My street has only 1 street light in a 2 block radius.
