Irvington vs Downtown Indy

"And now in the main ring... IRVINGTON vs. DOWNTOWN INDY!!"


Last week, I took a client out to see a home on N. Campbell Street, in beautiful Historic Irvington. He and his wife are looking to purchase their perfect home and turn their existing home into a nice rental.
 

As we walked around the home, we talked about the comparison of Irvington Homes versus Indianapolis Historic Homes Downtown Indy. We compared Irvington's classic brick exterior versus Historic Downtown Indianapolis' multi-colored wood sidings, as well as the extent of updates and amenities, as Downtown Indy continues to lead the pack, adding luxury extras often found in Carmel Indiana real estate. 


The home prices are very similar, though Irvington tends to be less in most cases. Excluding bank owned homes for sale, these home prices are typically above the $100,000's, sometimes soaring above the $200,000's and beyond. I'm positive this is due to the wonderful things to do nearby, most within walking distance. Restaurants, book stores, clothing stores, pet boutiques, the library, walking trails, and more are found each in Historic Irvington and Downtown Indy.


If you're checking out Downtown Indy as your new neighborhood, don't forget to include Historic Irvington in your search. Only 10 minutes away, it's a local, comparable secret, often without the pricetag of Downtown!
 

So who's the winner of Irvington vs. Downtown Indy?

Only you can tell, once you start touring the homes yourself and seeing what fits your lifestyle!

My wife and I started comparing Downtown Indy, Fountain Square, and Irvington Homes recently. We tend to like the feel of Irvington since it's close enough to downtown while still providing a bit of an escape from the "big city". There are also a lot of great shops and restaurants in Historic Irvington. Seems to fit our lifestyle. P.S. Way to rock a compendium blog!
