North Indy neighborhood surrounded by greenery
There are plenty of ways to spend the day outdoors in North Central, an Indianapolis neighborhood that is bordered by parks, nature preserves and the White River. "It's full of green space, friendly people and plenty of parks and recreation," says Miriam Odegard, a Realtor with United Real Estate Indianapolis. Residents walk, bike or skate along the Monon Trail, a pedestrian pathway running along the neighborhood's west side. North Central is 11 miles from downtown Indianapolis and adjacent to some of the city's best high-end shopping at The Fashion Mall at Keystone. Nearby streets provide a convenient connection to downtown Indy for major conventions and festivals.
