Pros

Butler University is in the area.
Home to attractive, 19th century Victorian homes.
Downtown area is fairly safe with police officers patrolling on horses and bikes.

Cons

Past reputation as an area of high crime.
Negative job growth in recent years.

Once an area known for violence and crime, Mapleton has turned the corner and slowly emerged as an urban living option in the city of Indianapolis. Where there were once vacant lots and abandoned homes, today stand rehabbed residential properties. These houses represent a new and improved mixed income community available to residents for a wide range of price points. Best of all is the Mapelton location, just minutes from the Indianapolis downtown area.
