Since I come from big metro areas, my idea of walkability falls in line with what most big city types think of when they imagine a walkable neighborhood...the example in Fishers where you started. Being able to step outside and get some groceries or hit up a good restaurant or bar within a short 5-10 minute walk is my idea of a great area to live. Those townhomes you were at look very appealing for someone like me--single, no kids, an easy commute up I-69 to where I work in Pendleton...I'll have to keep my eye on that area for the future (I had already bookmarked the apartment building over there, but I didn't know about the townhomes).
Indianapolis has a long way to go to bring more walkability to more areas. Walkability is lacking to the degree that you can live, shop, eat or go to a bar by foot in large parts of the metro area. Once you're out of downtown Indianapolis, it's a crapshoot on safe and effective walkability. Sidewalks just disappear in some areas and drop you onto the side of roads with zero traffic barriers to protect you; same with bike paths. I live within a mile of all kinds of services, but continuous sidewalks of more than a few blocks force me to drive to nearby trails and parks, grocery stores, medical offices, the library, movies, everything!

I need to know a good neighborhood where I can find an apartment near the old Lafayette square mall, please
Irvington, Mile Square, whatever hood over by White River State Park are most walkable
