Hogan Moving has been a part of the Indianapolis community since 1927. And, as a proud Indianapolis company, we’ve decided to start a blog series highlighting some of the great places to live in the area. For this blog, we’re highlighting a funky and fun Indianapolis neighborhood, Fountain Square.

Fountain Square Overview

As described by Discover Fountain Square, this neighborhood “has a world of independent restaurants, live music and performance, working artists with a vibrant arts scene,  and one-of-a-kind stores that sell food, fashion, comics, musical instruments, fresh flowers, and so much more.”

Around 10,000 people live in Fountain Square, where there’s a mix of people renting and owning their own homes. Fountain Square is also one of the six Indianapolis Cultural Districts linked to the Indianapolis Cultural Trail.
