Yet the city and its residents remain friendly, caring and unspoiled. The Hoosier capital consistently ranks as one of the cleanest and safest cities in the nation, and its cost of living and unemployment rates remain below the national average. Plus, it often ranks among the most affordable American cities in which to own a home. While the housing market did not see the "benefits" of the housing bubble, Indianapolis has not see the same downside of falling prices.
Nearly two hundred years ago, the center of the state of Indiana was chosen as the site of the new capital, Indianapolis Indiana. Today, it's considered the Crossroads of America with more interstates, highways and railways leading to the city. Native Indiana Hoosiers are known for their love of sports and especially the Indiana teams that play those sports. Indianapolis is the hub for several major sport lineups such as the Indianapolis 500, NASCAR's Brickyard 400, the NFL's Indianapolis Colts and the NBA's Indiana Pacers.
