Why You’ll Love Indianapolis
There's so much to do in Indianapolis, and with a cost of living about 14.3% below the national average, your paycheck goes further here than in most major metros. You'll find a big-city food and museum scene, parks and green spaces, and pro sports year-round (Fever, Pacers, and Colts). Beyond the city, there's the Indy 500, the NCAA Final Four, and Big Ten tournaments. It's just as good a place to settle in as it is to explore, with surrounding suburbs known for their great schools, welcoming neighborhoods, and close-knit communities.
