Investment Map/Area Gentrification

[Carlos Quiros]

Is there an investor map or area map that someone has put together showing the areas of Indianapolis to invest in, avoid, up and coming, gentrified, etc.

Just a new investor asking a lot of questions :)

Here's some info but some of the Indy locals could offer more insight or have updated investor maps.

@Jaron Walling knows Indy well 

I favor the East Side (Christian Park, Grace Tuxedo Park, Brookside Park, Bosart Brown) and was told to avoid 38th and Post Road. The SFH I bought in March 2023 is in Christian Park. A lot of it is street by street and it's difficult to go just by zip codes. I don't know a lot about the West side but a couple of investors recommended avoiding Martindale-Brightwood. I also stay away from railroad tracks. Other options are if your property is close to hospitals and downtown you could do mid-term rentals to travel nurses

This video is 2 years old so some of the areas have shown a lot of development but still has good information:
