Fountain-Fletcher

Located just one mile southeast from the heart of downtown Indy, this funky Indianapolis neighborhood has vintage and antique shops, a world of restaurants, working artists and a vibrant arts scene, live music and performances, and one-of-a-kind stores that sell comics, musical instruments, home decor, fresh flowers, and so much more.

Once home to farmland in Indianapolis’ early days, the district grew to a bustling commercial district at the turn of the 20th century. Following revitalization in the 1990s and 2000s, Fountain Square has grown into an energetic and unique destination. Its sister neighborhood, Fletcher Place, can be found just north of Virginia Avenue over the interstate bridge. The combined neighborhoods are home to over 12,000 residents.
