Rural-Sherman Information
Rural-Sherman is the name of a neighborhood located on the Near-Eastside of
Indianapolis. Its' boundaries are East 16th Street(or Brookside Pkway)on the
North, Washington Street on the South, Rural Street on the West, and Sherman
Drive on the East.
It is one of Indianapolis' most blighted neighborhoods, as a significant
amount of homes and buildings in this area are decayed and/or abandoned. It is a
participant in the Weed and Seed organization of Indianapolis, which helps to
stabilize high crime neighborhoods.
In recent years, Rural-Sherman has slipped further into blight, and
statistically, for the past couple of years, has been the most violent area in
Indianapolis. Crime in and around this specific area, especially in 2006, has
seen much publicity and unwanted attention, including the infamous Hamilton
Avenue Massacre in which a family of 7 people were executed.
