When you choose to live at River House in Indianapolis, you’re not just choosing a modern, stylish apartment — you’re choosing a lifestyle deeply rooted in one of the city’s most vibrant and culturally rich neighborhoods: Broad Ripple Village.
A Unique Cultural District with Heart
Broad Ripple Village is one of Indianapolis’ designated cultural districts, known for its energetic mix of arts, entertainment, and community spirit. Originally platted in the 1800s and later annexed into the city, this neighborhood has maintained a unique identity distinct from downtown, blending historic roots with modern urban life.
Here, old-meets-new in every corner — from eclectic galleries and performance spaces to colorful murals and creative boutiques. Whether you’re a fan of street art, local music, or public events, Broad Ripple’s artistic pulse gives residents a lifestyle filled with discovery and inspiration.
Nature Just Outside Your Door
One of Broad Ripple’s defining features is its connection to the outdoors. River House places you steps from the scenic Monon Trail — a pedestrian and bike path that follows historic rail lines through the heart of Indianapolis — making easy access to fresh air and exercise a daily reality.
The nearby White River offers peaceful waterfront views and stretches of green space perfect for morning jogs, leisurely walks with your dog, or relaxed weekend picnics. This rare blend of urban convenience and natural beauty is a signature part of the Broad Ripple experience.

With restaurants, cafés, shops, and nightlife all within easy reach of River House, you’ll find that running errands, grabbing dinner with friends, or shopping local doesn’t require a commute — it’s all part of your neighborhood rhythm.
Whether it’s brunch at a cozy café, browsing one-of-a-kind boutiques, or catching live music, Broad Ripple delivers variety and excitement just outside your front door.
Community That Feels Like Home
Neighborhoods like Broad Ripple thrive because of the people who help shape them — a mix of students, professionals, artists, and long-time residents all contribute to its inclusive, lively vibe.
