About this property

Near Downtown, Arts, Events, Fun and More

Extra-ordinary Zen escape just minutes from downtown. 3BR/2BA/1-car garage, private back yard, and too many amenities to list them all. Rest up in the private outdoor gardens w/ landscaping, fountain, firepit, and movie projection or, get your fitness groove on either in the fully stocked home gym or on the recently upgraded and connected nature/fitness trails. Located right on the parkway - nature is right outside your front door.

Casa De Esperanza, or "House of Hope," was named for its incredible nurturing vibe. Let this be your home away from home for your next Indy visit. You won't regret the peaceful escape.

Quiet Getaway Gem

Quiet location for our little family getaway! Convenient to the city and activities. Christian park is across the street with a great playground and splashpad. We definitely enjoyed the lovely back garden and patio for our 4th of July celebration!! The host is easy to contact and quick to respond.

This was perfect for our family including our dog. She loved the back yard and so did I. It was beautiful and peaceful. There was a park right across the street which was great for walks. The house was clean and spacious with a private upstairs suite. The kitchen was spotless and well equipped. Communication was very good and host was helpful. I look forward to staying here the next time we are in town.
