Chatham Arch / Mass Avenue

Welcome to Chatham Arch/Mass Avenue

The Chatham Arch historic district in the northeast corner of downtown Indianapolis is a neighborhood of both historical and architectural significance. Its irregular street pattern, most of it dating to before the Civil War, recalls life in Indianapolis when the city was just beginning to expand beyond the original Mile Square plat.

This artsy, active neighborhood surrounds the Mass Ave Cultural District with its thriving retail, restaurants, art galleries and theaters; there's never a dull moment! Green spaces soften Mass Ave's urban setting, linking the commercial areas with the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Chatham Arch has a variety of housing options, many newly developed, accented by brick alleys and tree-lined streets. Chatham Arch features original architecture and residents are treated to a variety of boutiques and jogging trails, including the Indianapolis Cultural Trail.
