WHAT AREA IS CONSIDERED MIDTOWN?
Midtown Carmel is a new, rapidly growing area near Elm Street and Monon Boulevard that lies between the Carmel Arts & Design District to the north and City Center to the south. The focal point of this redevelopment district is an expanded Monon Greenway that runs through the middle of Midtown – with a trail that has been widened from 14-feet to 140-feet, on which the City has added dedicated bike lanes, walking lanes, one-way streets for vehicles and an eclectic mix of public art pieces. Midtown Plaza has quickly become a favorite gathering spot for outdoor games, movies and music.

DO PEOPLE LIVE IN MIDTOWN? Yes, they do. Midtown is bordered by a number of older homes (some of them historic) to the west of the Monon Greenway. In addition, two new apartment buildings recently opened on the Monon, one on either side of the Greenway, about a block away from each other. As they fill up, they will add hundreds of new residents to the area. Future plans also call for more residential opportunities on currently undeveloped land that borders the Greenway to the south.
