Showing 8 highest rated

I had a great time living at Circa for my time spent in Indianapolis. My apartments kitchen was beautiful and spacious and the community was great to be around. I also thought Tommy, the property manager, helped me out greatly by working with me to find new roommates to cover my lease once I needed to move away from Indy!

Unbelievably beautiful apartments near Massachusetts Avenue, Cultural Trail, and downtown Indianapolis. Modern appliances and in-unit clothes washer and dryer. Easy-to-clean hardwood laminate flooring. Coffee bar and bicycle storage, plus hobby room with free tools to use, are just a few of many extras available to tenants.
