From historic bungalows to modern designs, housing is diverse here
“Fountain Square has a very diverse housing inventory,” says Jess Martin, co-founder and broker at Maywright Property Co. “If someone says they want to live in Fountain Square, that tells me nothing about what kind of house they like, because they can get anything there. You can get new, you can get old, you can get a townhome and be right in the hustle and bustle of the main strip, or you can be removed from all of that and be on a quieter street.” Cottages and bungalows are common here, but you’ll also find American Foursquares and other 19th-century styles. New homes often sport modern farmhouse or sleek, asymmetrical contemporary designs. “It’s for people who value neighbors, walkability, and porch-sitting," Schultz says.
You can find fixer-uppers from about $80,000 up to the high $100,000s. Renovated compact cottages range from the low $100,000s to the low $300,000s. Most renovated homes fall between $200,000 and the mid-$400,000s, while larger homes and new builds start around $400,000 and can reach the high $700,000s. Townhouses and duplexes range from the mid-$200,000s to the low $400,000s.

Unique attractions from duck pin bowling to swing dance lessons
There’s no shortage of things to do in and around the neighborhood. The historic Fountain Square Theatre Building hosts weekly two-step and swing dancing lessons. The building is home to Atomic Bowl, a retro spot for duck pin bowling, a miniature version that uses smaller pins and balls. Finch Park has a playground and the Lilly Boys and Girls Club in the neighborhood. “You’re also really close to Gainbridge Fieldhouse and Lucas Oil, so that makes it really nice if you’re into sports or concerts,” Martin says.
Live music and local art are integral to the neighborhood’s vibe
The arts are at the heart of Fountain Square, which is evidenced by the murals, public art and the iconic fountain that anchors the neighborhood at the intersections of Virginia, Shelby and Prospect streets. Hi-Fi, with its three stages, welcomes both local and international performers. Radio Radio is a live music venue and lounge, while White Rabbit Cabaret is known for its burlesque and drag shows. The Murphy Arts Center, another cornerstone of the arts community, showcases local artists and craft vendors during First Fridays and interactive exhibits on Third Saturdays, both events free to the public.
Fountain Square is home to many shops full of character and personality, like Hero House Comics.

Downtown Indianapolis is just a mile away, and bikers can hop on the roughly 10-mile Cultural Trail to commute downtown. “The Cultural Trail runs through Fountain Square, so its connectivity to the rest of the city is really great given that it has the highway and the Cultural Trail,” Martin says.
