More specifically, Indianapolis. Wanted to ask the people here with any experience about what it's like living there? Pros/cons? Anything major to watch out for? What kind of salary grants at least a "comfortable" (ie. Not living paycheck to paycheck) living situation?

Thanks!

It has changed quite a bit. I was there off/on 1979-2017 (Alderwood).

Supposedly south Indy is better; hidden money kinda thing.

I live here and I recommend moving to Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers, Zionsville etc. Great house values and schools. Several car clubs here as well.

Excellent! Carmel is where my work would be, so im glad to hear that.

I figured there would be more car clubs with the speedway nearby. Any corvette or gm clubs?
