Broad Ripple?

Hello! My boyfriend and I are moving to the Indy area soon (23M, 23F). We’re looking for a walkable area that has a semi-social scene. Neither of us are big drinkers but will do it socially, overall not a breaking point either way for us. My boyfriend works completely remote and I work hybrid, only needing to go into the office in downtown Indy once a week max. We both like to work out and would love a safe place to walk our dog!

We were pretty set on moving to broad ripple area (seemed perfect with the monon trail and walkable area etc..) but are now having second thoughts. We both would love a place where it’s not too hard to get involved in events/sports/etc. and make friends!

Is BR what we’re looking for or do you have another suggestion- thanks so much in advance !! 😊
