    "It is pretty quick to get to the Interstate/Highway and also quick to get downtown on College Ave. I haven't used public transportation so not sure about that but plenty of street parking I think. "

    "So-Bro or south Broad Ripple is a great area to live. The streets are quiet and the neighborhood is diverse with college students, working adults, single families, and local business owners. It's close to the Monon, tons of great restaurants and entertainment, close to many nice parks, and extremely pet friendly."
