Fountain Square was the first commercial historic district in Indiana, its existing buildings span more than a century of development from 1871 to the present. Fountain Square played an important part in the Indianapolis theater heritage; the area's commercial district had more operating theaters than could be found in any part of Indianapolis from 1910 to 1950.

Fountain Square is once again becoming known as a home for independent restaurants, breweries, art galleries and studios, live entertainment, and a small professional office. The designation of Fountain Square as one of Indiana’s first urban Main Street programs, coupled with the distinction of being named as one of the six Indianapolis Cultural Districts, has the commercial district poised for further reinvestment and improvement. Fountain Square is linked to the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, which connects Fountain Square to downtown Indianapolis with a world-class urban bike and pedestrian path. The Cultural Trail also features a bike share program providing visitors and residents an exciting, convenient way of enjoying downtown Indy.

Safe, walking-friendly neighborhood with parks, entertainment, and dining. There is a convenience store around the corner to the north for anything you might have forgotten.

This is my personal home, which I’m currently not living in. I don’t profit from renting it out—no one has ever paid what it cost for me to host them. I have lost over $9000 in subsidizing the cost to keep rent low and cover damages. Please treat the space, the furnishings, and everything here with the care and respect you’d show a friend’s home.
