Sterling White's Interactive Map

[Maste Gezahegn]

Hi All,

I recently read Sterling White's great article on BP about the different areas of Indy. Can other investors give me their opinions/knowledge on the article. Particularly the accuracy of the map and the different ratings of the neighborhoods.

Yeah, it's pretty accurate from a crime rate and quality of properties perspective.  Also is reasonably accurate for where values have gone up significantly over the past decade... But I don't think it's helpful in figuring out where values are good.  It's mostly a risk / lack of hassle map.

If you're going to be investing in one of the yellow areas or in general inside the circle you probably want to go walk/drive the neighborhood as things can change DRASTICALLY in a block or 2.

My neighborhood is 2 blocks from a neighborhood with houses 1/4 the value.
