Downtown Indy Condo for Rent

One of the biggest decisions to make before moving to the UK is what to do with my Indy condo. As you can tell from the title of this post, I've decided to rent it. So to start I've called my realtor to add it to the MLS database. In addition I'll be posting flyers in the local hospitals. I intend to focus on hospitals because I believe the ideal tenant will be a medical school resident. One, because they will need housing for up to three years (the duration of my assignment), and two, they'll be working so much they have little time to tear up the condo (I hope). That's not to say someone else would not make a good candidate, so if any of you know of anyone who might be interested, by all means let them know. Below are some details:



  • 1 Bed, 1-1/2 Bath
  • ~1,000 sq. ft.
  • Building built 2004
  • Fully-furnished!
  • Gas fireplace
  • Laundry room
  • Hardwood floors
  • Balcony
  • GE appliances (refrigerator, oven, microwave, dish washer, clothes washer and dryer)
  • Indoor parking below building
  • 10 ft. ceilings
  • Tenant pays: rent, cable, electric
  • Owner pays: dues, sewer, trash pick-up, water, taxes
  • Security deposit ($1,400) and 1st month's rent due at lease signing
  • Pet restrictions

The List

It's not every day that you have the opportunity to spend 2+ years in Europe (unless of course you're European), so I thought I'd compile a list of "Must Do's"... things to accomplish (outside of work) while living in the UK. If you have any additional suggestions, please let me know. This is a living list that will change and evolve throughout my stay. Things will be checked off, new things will be added. Check back often to monitor my progress. If you'd like to join me as I cross one or more of these things off the list, please do. So here it goes...

  • Ride part of and watch part of the Tour de France
  • Drive sports car at high rates of speed on German autobahn
  • Paris airshow
  • Attend F1 race (in Monte Carlo if possible)
  • Attend football (soccer) game(s)
  • Go to Germany, buy a brand new BMW motorcyle, and ride it back to the UK
  • Hit a bucket of balls near the birthplace of golf
  • Run with the bulls
