The Vanguard

One of the most beloved areas in the city, Broad Ripple Village is a lively blend of eclectic energy, cultural richness, and natural beauty. Renowned for its diverse array of eclectic dining options (including French bistro Petit Chou and Just Pop In! Popcorn Cafe), lively nightlife, and distinctive boutiques like Rusted Moon Outfitters and Three Dog Bakery, Broad Ripple's streets are lined with charming bungalows and historic buildings. From Broad Ripple Park and recreational events to award-winning bars and restaurants like family-favorite Bazbeaux Pizza, Broad Ripple’s got a style all its own. Bike down the Monon Trail to dinner along the Canal, accompany your pooch to the dog park or take the Red Line to your favorite destinations outside the neighborhood. With its bohemian flair, welcoming atmosphere, and dynamic community spirit, Broad Ripple is a unique blend of urban sophistication and small-town charm.
