I want to live here, SO bad.

Becca · Kate Spade

Oh I like it! And what a great deal!

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

I can't remember when you are moving carrie but you might want to go ahead and contact them now if you are moving within the next 60 days. In my city, most apartment complexes are on a 60 day move out notice and the more popular places will get rented out right then so definetly check with them.

Cool - is that a theatre?

I'm not moving for 4 months yet; I will be going out to Indy to look at this apartment (and others) next weekend though

Yup

Wow, that place looks super nice and the prices are SOO reasonable (I would actually call them cheap, but I am coming from Chicago here). I think you have to live there too!

erin · Chanel

is carmel the area with the old-timey houses and shops? (ie done up to look like certain eras?)

i'm still chiming in my vote for broad ripple.

oh my goodness! that's literally like a third of what I pay for my apartment (which is a steal) and is so much nicer! damn! 4 months isn't to early to apply. I looked at the apartment that I'm currently in last August and the earliest available move in date they had was for December- which worked out great for me since that's what I needed, but I never expected to have a wait like that!

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

Those are very nice!!!! And not too bad of a price!

Hmm, I dont know, but that's just because I don't know Indy well yet

There is one apartment that I'm going to be looking at in Broad Ripple: North Oaks of Broad Ripple

Yay! You're moving to my fly-by state! Carmel is a nice area, but very family and young-couple oriented. You have to drive to everything and it's built up and everything is new and kind of looks alike. But it's a prestigious address and a lot of people love it. I would shoot myself because I cannot eat at Applebees, or tolerate strip mall traffic, but if that's comfortable to you, it can be great. Actually, comfortable is a good word for it. Oh, there's a cute small town in the area where a friend of mine's parents live, but I think it's Zionsville - and whatever the name EVERYTHING closes by 8 p.m. and there is, I believe, only one place to drink.

Broad Ripple is the fun, young area. I worked near there last summer. Things are closer together, there are cute old houses (way overpriced of course) and fun shops and all the good bars and mid-priced restaurants, as well as what passes for counter-culture in Indiana (hint, most of them are libertarian, from what I can tell. But I'm too cheerleader to be very in with the counter culture...). It's the only place in this state where you can get good, non-chain restaurant food. (Indiana is like, one large, flat, cornstalk-covered shrine to Cracker Barrel...)
