Bustling retail paradise near an iconic theatre

Tucked near the northeast corner of Downtown Indianapolis, Renaissance Place is home to the iconic Old National Centre theatre complex and an increasing number of residential units built far more recently than the iconic 1910 building. “Renaissance Place, along with its neighboring districts, has undergone tremendous growth in the last decade, going from an area that’s only active during business days to a full neighborhood with lots of places to eat and drink,” says Mark Easley, co-owner of the Easley Winery in nearby Cole-Noble. “There’s a great nightlife around here that is very new.”

Hip nightlife and trendy cuisine on Mass Ave

Massachusetts Avenue, simply known as “Mass Ave” locally, cuts through the southeast corner of Renaissance Place. Mass Ave has developed into one of the premier dining and nightlife corridors in Indianapolis over the past decade. It’s plausible to eat dinner at a new restaurant each night in a month. “I like to try new places along Mass Ave,” says area resident Simon Kuntz. “In particular, FortyFive Degrees sushi bar has a patio that’s just a great spot on a 70-degree day to have dinner.” Union 50, a gastropub located in a former union hall, features a spacious patio and hosts live music throughout the week. Just south of the neighborhood, The Rathskeller is a German beer hall that’s operated since 1894. Whole Foods and Needler’s Fresh Market each have locations within walking distance.

Green space next door in American Legion Mall and Indiana War Memorial

There are no parks in Renaissance Place. Chatham Commons is a pocket park just outside the neighborhood in neighboring Chatham-Arch. Two blocks to the west, the American Legion Mall sprawls across multiple blocks from the Indianapolis Public Library to the Indiana War Memorial and Museum. The three-floor military history museum also features a shrine room dedicated to Indiana's World War I soldiers. South of the War Memorial, Depew Memorial Fountain is the centerpiece of University Park.

Musical and theatre events at distinctive Old National Centre

The Old National Centre, formerly known as the Murat Shrine Temple, is one of Indy’s premier theatre and music venues. Moorish-inspired architecture makes it one of the city’s most distinctive buildings. “The building has personality,” says Indianapolis resident Alec Toombs. There are three theatres in the Old National Centre — Murat Theatre, a 2,500-seat auditorium, The Egyptian Room, a 2,000-person concert hall, and the more intimate Deluxe room. Major musical acts looking to play a smaller venue than Gainbridge Fieldhouse frequently make the Murat or The Egyptian Room their Indianapolis concert stop.

Noise a regular factor in neighborhood life

This can be one of Indy’s noisiest neighborhoods. In addition to the nearby interstate highways and a vibrant nightlife, the Indianapolis Fire Department’s Station 7 is based in the neighborhood. The CAP Index, which measures crime, gives Renaissance Place a 10 out of 10.
