A huge mall and a large park in Castleton

Housing in the northeast Indianapolis neighborhood of Castleton is concentrated on the north side -- for good reason. Much of the community is taken up by a pair of attractions: Castleton Square Mall and Sahm Park. The mall, which opened in 1972, is one of the largest in Indiana and has been a shopping, dining and entertainment destination for decades. The park offers more than 80 acres of amenities, most notably an 18-hole golf course. Residents also have easy access to Interstate 465 for travel into the city, and they are a short drive from the bustling suburb of Carmel.

I love living in the Castleton area, I have been living in my apartment for about 5 years, I absolutely enjoy the convince of location, being near by shops, stores, and restaurants. If I could change anything it would be the heavy traffic getting through it from my apartment location can be a little difficult.

Castleton is wonderful because everything is so close! Hundreds of local businesses make finding any service or item a breeze. The best part about it is that it is a surprisingly wooded and therefore private area to live in. The downside is the traffic.
