I'm from California and moved to Indy to start a family and own a house. Got the family started, but still working on the house. Neither would be possible in San Diego. Let's not forget about gas prices. I would spend about 3 hours a day driving. That equates to about a month and a half of my year driving... with gas over $5 gallon. All the taxes and idiotic laws have ruined the great state. The smart ones have moved away.

Nothing beats the Midwest as far as prices

Do the property taxes next

I already live in Indiana it’s the best😊

I was born in Noblesville and some of my family still lives there. My Grandpa had a Barber shop there and my Dad was born and raised there who retired as Captain of the Noblesville Fire Department! I love the town and I watched it grow from when it was a town and now it is a city! My Dad could drive around and tell you everything about the history, he appeared on the local television station with the former mayor Rowland and he answered questions about the history of Noblesville. He also owned a plumbing company many years ago! I unfortunately live in Arizona and can’t wait to move back home.

The population of Indiana is almost the same as the Dallas or DFW, wow !We left Dallas because it was too crowded and way too hot. We are in Clarksville Indiana right now because my husband's family is nearby. I am wanting a small town with less crowds with normal shopping areas. Our rent in Irving/ Dallas was $1150 for a 2 bedroom {2020} but it went up to $1550 at the end of 2023 that is why we came back to Indiana. I like the colder weather but I am from Washington state where it is freezing all the time. I have had a hard time with the lack of sunshine this year. when we lived in Dallas the overnight lows were 77 to 82 degrees . we had to run our ac over night. My husband and I enjoy morning and evening walks in the summer months that are possible living in Indiana. we couldn't walk in Dallas because of the heat and high humidity.

They mix politics with religion .☠️

Prof Evan McKenzie said in his seminal book, Privatopia (1964), "CIDS [HOAs] currently engage in many activities that would be prohibited if they were viewed by the courts as the equivalent of local governments." They are not subject to constitutional protections that non-HOA owners retain!

Been here 30 years and love it

Great video with a lot of truth in it. I've lived in MA, WA, FL, NM, IL, IA, and IN. They all have good and bad qualities. Being a blue dot here in Trumpiana, I keep my mouth shut and realize my vote means nothing here, but the people don't talk politics and are 99% super friendly and salt of the earth. We're all Americans, after all. I love the peace and quiet of rural life, but not the constant maintenance costs of an older home. Thanks for sharing your excellent info.

I looked at home prices in Indiana and almost cried. I live in IL and let's just say this...Indiana real estate is so cheap it's almost too good to be true. Imagine prices twice as high and property taxes 4x as high and you have IL real estate. I'm moving to Indiana.

And plus Evansville has a bunch of amusement parks there fishing meat places pizza do you know Gary land is a pizza place that has roller coasters arcade games and I love it there Santa Claus, Indiana, which is called holiday world and they have so many roller coasters there and a new one called good gravy

I was born in Indiana

200 k for a home is cheap

For travel nurses, working downtown? I'm concerned my daughter will be going there, thanks

roundabouts are the best!!!!

I am a real estate agent w/ @properties here in Indy and I really appreciate your content. Keep it going.

I'm a native Hoosier, IU grad and LA resident for 3 decades. Before the pandemic, I had designs to move to back to Bloomington but the unemployment rate there is over 7% and one-quarter of its residents live at or below the poverty level. If you're poor, it is better to live in CA than LA. More financial resources here and it's a pro-tenant state. In November, state-wide rent control will be on the ballot.

Your videos are extremely helpful in my decision making. Thank you. I’m from Evansville, Indiana, but I’ve been living in California for the last 15 years. I’m ready to go back and have family in Fishers and Indianapolis.

That is my home town wow

Is Clinton still nice. I was there in early 70s.

Low population density makes public transportation very expensive.

You are wrong 😡

I left sunny San Diego for obvious reasons and moved to a cold part of Arizona. Now I'm old and alone and considering moving outside of Evansville, only to be in reasonable distance to family in the Chicago metro, but I'm still trying to avoid the cold. My relatives refuse to move somewhere warm, but it's no fun spending holidays alone.

Even though Indy is experiencing housing price increases, by comparison with other large cities, it is still much more affordable compared to cities like Boston, San Francisco, or Chicago. All things being equal, the cost of living here is lower than many other places.

Indiana is a pretty cool state it has a lot of lakes and festivals great colleges and pro teams Hicking and bike riding ext

This is extremely helpful, Cameron. Looking forward to upcoming info on home options on lakes, plus regulations. Thanks!

It’s like she kept trying to downplay Indiana while actually making me want to move to Indiana

Are you guys active in Columbus, IN ?

Bored WPD officers love writing tickets and pulling cars over. And the Hamilton county court system will try your patience and check book. Horrible for young drivers.

I was in the army in the 80s. Did my training at fort Ben Harrison/ chanute Air Force Base. They had a real beautiful civil war museum in downtown Indianapolis. I wonder if it's still there?

And in sports, you now have Caitlin Clark with the Fever!

you’ve got great energy! love this:)

Is there a good special needs school public/private

She's right and fair. Euphemizing some stuff. Glad you mentioned the politics. It's mild mannered here, though. Nobody's in your face, but if you ask, you're gonna hear things that make you wonder if it's still the 50's. Stuff people complain about: Worst-of-all-worlds weather; suburban complacency; aspiring-to-basic attitudes; cliquish, intolerant small towns; lack of advancement opportunity and low wages if you don't live in Indy; housing prices getting ridiculous; medical, artistic, and intellectual underdevelopment; boring, more boring, and cornfields; long drive to "civilization"; expanding "Two Americas" dynamic, some towns made up entirely of churches, bars, and Dollar Generals... Stuff people like: Generally decent people who go out of their way to help someone in need (and WILL let you in in traffic!); relatively low violent crime; prices still slightly below national average; never "too crazy"; active small-town sports culture; an Applebee's within driving distance of every town, Olive Garden for special occasions... Yeah, you could do worse, but you definitely could do better. You live a small life here. Most people move away after college and move back when they have kids. They're still bored and stifled here, but at least their kids don't get shot at on the daily (unless you're in Indy). Indiana is where you go to "settle down"--when your dreams have died.

Good morning, Seen from France where we are world champions with 60,000 roundabouts, reporting them as an inconvenience seems lunatic to me. It's so much more convenient than waiting at traffic lights, and it's so much less dangerous. You can run a fire, not a roundabout, otherwise you end up on the grass, not in another car. Otherwise the city seems quite nice compared to the usual horrors that we see in the USA. The marked seasons, the very green environment, the facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. It must be good to live there as they say in France. Greetings from the French Riviera as you call our Côte d'Azur.

is that a 42 or 50 inch fireplace? Great video series. thanks!

yes

Hawaii is the southernmost state. It is the sunshine tax you are paying to live in FL.

Snow hell...it hardly snows here anymore.

As a person who grew up in and spent the 1st 21 years of my life in Indiana and the last 35 years here in Florida, I've got one thing to say. Do NOT move to Florida!!! It positively S.U.C.K.S. and I would give ANYTHING to be able to move back. I would in a heartbeat!!!

And yet Livability just named Carmel the #1 small city in America again, for quality of life and numerous other criteria. I mention this to counter your unnecessary comments around our "boring" state. Sales tip: If selling, stick with features and benefits and omit the need to feel "balanced or objective". Zionsville village resident and I'm not sure you accurately assessed the age of homes.

Im planning to visit caramel s To study biking infrastructure,...as A Kenyan i would like to study how biking infrastructure has been implemented

The northside of Indianapolis is very family friendly.

I’m going through this process in Colorado. Meeting architect on property next week. Close on the lot after that. I am freaking out and going through information therapy, the more I learn the more calm I get. So even if I am super far… thanks so much for all of these videos. Wish me luck

Financing for a townhome is typically limited to conventional loans as FHA loans require the buyers to make more repairs, so sellers usually request applicants with conventional loans.

I think you should move

Looking for pre-foreclosure or off market property for move in

Well how can you compare Indy to Ohio with everything for family to live ? Hopefully y can answer my questions and thanks again for help

Thanks
