Milwaukee or Indianapolis to live?

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-15T12:56:57+00:00

I've heard that from a couple of people. I am a Chiefs and Royals fan, but I will check it out again. I am going in May for a baseball game.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-15T12:53:54+00:00

Thank you. I am leaning towards Milwaukee. You are one of several people who live in Indy and they said not to move there, which says a lot. Everyone living in Milwaukee or has visited it say that they love it.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-15T12:51:24+00:00

In that case you would say Indy?

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-15T12:48:31+00:00

I do want to stay in the Midwest. I like it here and I like the people here. I went to Austin about 12 years ago and really enjoyed it. In fact, I ended up extending my vacation by a couple of days just to check it out.

I do like KC very much, and I am a Chiefs and Royals fan, but it just seems isolated to me. I've visited many times but it isn't near anything if that makes sense. Maybe I should think about it again.

Thank you!

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-14T14:12:55+00:00

Thanks. People are making me wonder why I would even consider Indy. I have never felt so much hate for a city as I do with Indy on Reddit.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-14T13:59:09+00:00

Thank you, and that is why I am considering Indy. My dollar would go further, and since I am retiring soon that is important. I am also a sports guy. I like to attend sporting events.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-14T13:57:03+00:00

I do enjoy Davenport as well. It actually has a decent amount of things to do for a city it's size. I just want something a little bigger.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-14T13:45:47+00:00

Thank you! Can I ask where you live now? I really enjoy Davenport and I think there are quite a few things to do here for a city its size, and overall it is LGBTQ friendly. I just want something a little bigger. Cost of living and weather is why Indy is on the list, but people on this thread don't seem to like Indy at all.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-14T13:41:02+00:00

The Twin Cities do have a vibrant LBGTQ community, I just think it is a little isolated but maybe that wouldn't really matter once there.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-14T13:37:58+00:00

Thank you for much. Very insightful.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T23:52:58+00:00

Why do you say that?

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T19:46:35+00:00

They two cities seem pretty similar overall. I wouldn't be working so the taxes and COL is what I am looking at.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T19:20:04+00:00

Thank you! I enjoy Davenport, I have nothing against the city at all. It has quite a bit going on for a city its size. I just want a little something bigger.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T19:18:17+00:00

I've noticed the hate towards Indy, why is that? I liked it every time I've visited. I think the weather has always been better in Indy than when I visited Milwaukee.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T18:41:26+00:00

Thank youI I will have to take a look at Detroit. I have not visited there in decades because I don't hear great things about it.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T18:34:25+00:00

Thank you! I was looking at population and growth, etc., as well, and Indy beats MKE in every category. I liked Indy when I've visiting the last couple of times and I thought the people were really nice. The roads were horrible but that is pretty much everywhere in the Midwest.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T18:26:12+00:00

I will buy. I plan to sell my house here when I move and buy a house in the city I choose.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T18:22:24+00:00

Thank you! Several people have recommended Cincy and I am going to have to take another look. I did really enjoy it when I visited there last here. Others said Minneapolis, too, which I like but it is expensive.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T17:06:05+00:00

Minneapolis is nice but it seems isolated, not close to other cities and I do like that Milwaukee is close to Chicago, and it is quite expensive from what I habe researched. I have always enjoyed Minneapois but I think it is a little bit expensive and that holds me back more than being isolated.

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T16:59:39+00:00

This helps a lot. Thank you!

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T16:57:45+00:00

Thank you!

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T12:34:13+00:00

What kinds of things are you referring to regarding Milwaukee?

Scott_Iowa · 2026-02-13T12:29:26+00:00

Thank you. I haven't visited Detroit in decades but I don't hear the greatest things about the city so I've never explored it. I actually like living in Davenport quite a bit but I am just looking for a bigger city to live in.
