This adorable goldendoodle sat down with us for a little Q&A.

What is his favorite daytime activity?
Cru loves being active outside and meeting news dogs/people. Cru loves to be the center of attention and he loves to lick everything!! Whether its chasing leaves, going on long walks downtown, or rolling around on the ground, he loves to spend time outside. With that being said, I don't think he will be too excited for winter. Feel free to say hi when you see Cru walking around the CityWay community.

What is your favorite personality quirk?
Cru has been a very obedient and well behaved puppy. I usually let him too far out of sight because he loves to get into things he shouldn't. He does enjoy walking the line between a good and bad puppy. One of the more funny things he does is he will pick up visitor's shoes and let you chase him throughout the house to get them back. If he gets underneath the bed, good luck getting it back before he chews it up. Virtually anything he knows he shouldn't have in his mouth, he will pick up, look you right in the eyes like he's saying "what now!?" and the dart off! He's pretty quick for his size!! He will definitely be playing soccer when he grows up.

What is his favorite toy and why?
Cru's favorite toy is his stuffed squirrel. I'm under the impression he likes this toy more than others because it symbolizes a real animal. However, since he is a puppy and his attention span is very short, he tends to play with all of his toys a good amount, until he starts diving at my feet/ toes. I can definitely confirm that his non-dog toy are toes or feet of any kind. I think he likes them because he doesn't have any and they move, which catches his attention. Even though I supplied him with his own sneakers that have been designated for him. I own a pretty extensive sneaker collection and this has been the hardest learning curve for a new pup dad. We have been working on a trade and barter program, 1 dollop of peanut butter for the return of one shoe in good condition. Please pray for us!

Thank you, Cru, and Cru's human, Evan, for sharing! If you are interested in having your fur baby featured on our blog, contact Danielle in the office today!

How long have you lived at CityWay? What floor plan did you choose and why?
We moved to CityWay August 1, 2017. We chose the Vermillion floor plan because of the great space and flexibility it provides. Julie's office and our master bedroom are on the bottom level. This means she has lots of quiet and privacy for work, and I have a full run of the middle level to do absolutely nothing! We hardly ever go to the top level, but it has been a great space for guests and our daughter, who is home from IU for the summer.

What is your favorite thing about the city of Indianapolis?
It's hard to choose one favorite thing because we love CityWay and the city of Indianapolis very much. If we narrowed to a top two, I would say we love the amazing variety of great restaurants and the terrific running and biking trails in and around the city.

What do you like to do for fun?
For fun we love going to events. This was one of the main reasons we wanted to live in the heart of the city. When we first moved here, we began keeping a list of games, concerts and other events we've attended just to have a fun record of the things we've done. So far this first year, we have been to 74 events, including more than 50 games, 9 concerts and a variety of other activities like the Indiana State Fair and the filming of American Ninja Warrior.

We've already signed our lease for another year here at CityWay. It's really hard to beat this wonderful community and the incredible downtown area!

What made you choose CityWay as your home?
The location was a huge factor. It was a central location for both of our jobs. Additionally, we both loved the layouts and floor plans offered for the units. The look of the entire community truly caught our eyes.

What are your three favorite things about CityWay?
My favorite things about the Cityway community are:

• The level of pet friendliness/pet policy that CityWay has. My dog is incredibly important to me and finding a luxury apartment complex that does not impose a pet weight limit can be almost impossible, so I really appreciate that about CityWay! Additionally, the pet friendly activities and amenities (e.g. Drool in the Pool, Doga, Dog Park) are a huge plus! 
• The apartment amenities are convenient and well thought out! A gym and pool can be somewhat standard for higher end apartment complexes in Indianapolis, but the movie theater and amenity center really stand out. 
• The proximity of the community to the entertainment (Lucas Oil Stadium, BankersLife Fieldhouse), bars, and restaurants offered in downtown Indy.

What is something no one knows about you?
Something no one knows about me is that I'm terrified of scary movies to the point that I can't even watch the television commercials for them. 

What is your favorite Indianapolis borough to visit?
I spend most of my time in the Mass Ave, Fountain Square, and Broad Ripple areas!

How long have you lived at CityWay? What floor plan did you choose and why?
We've lived at CityWay for about a year. We live in the Vermillion floor plan. We like having a lot of room, but the outdoor living space really made our decision. It was perfect for watching the 4th of July fireworks!

What is your favorite bar or restaurant within walking distance of CityWay?
We like Bakersfield on Mass Ave. Also, Yolk is a great place for brunch.

What is your favorite thing about the city of Indianapolis?
We really like how easy it is to walk or ride bikes around town. The Cultural Trail is awesome. We love watching the Pacers and Fever at Banker's Life and catching the Indians at Victory Field. There are always events and festivals happening downtown, and it's fun to check them out. White River Park is an excellent concert venue – super convenient!

We love our residents and how much they enjoy living at CityWay! Interested in living in the most premier location in downtown Indy? Contact our leasing team today to tour our available units, and learn more about what's to come for CityWay.

CityWay has more than changed the vibe of downtown Indianapolis.

What is your favorite Indianapolis event? Why?
Circle City IN Pride in June! I've marched in the Pride Parade with my colleagues from the NCAA national office every year since 2015, and it's one of the most joyous days of my year. There's so much love along that parade route, and it's wonderful to celebrate my LGBTQ+ community here in central Indiana. 

Where within CityWay, other than your apartment, do you like to spend time?
It's so hard to choose which place within CityWay is my favorite – I spend so much of my time here, even when I'm not in our apartment. Having the Irsay Family YMCA right next door is so convenient (especially to help mitigate all the time I spend at Qdoba). Sebastian, our dachshund, loves the dog park. I like meeting friends at Yolk on the weekends for brunch. We also like reserving the movie theater in the amenity center for special events. I use BlueIndy a lot, so it's great to have the South Street station right here. We certainly try to make the most of all the amenities we have here at CityWay!

How long have you lived at CityWay? What floor plan did you choose? Why?
This is my second time living at CityWay, so in total, I've lived here for about a year and a half. When I first moved to Indy in 2013, I lived solo in the Amaranth because it was the perfect size for me, and I loved the west-facing windows with the city view. This time around, and now married, we're in the Amethyst — I love having two floors, and as soon as I saw the rooftop terrace, there was no question it was the right place for us.

What is your favorite thing about the city of Indianapolis?
My favorite thing about Indianapolis is that the city has a lot of great things to offer. I enjoy exploring Indianapolis' eclectic culture districts, especially during the summer.

I love the interaction that I have with the CityWay staff. Also, my apartment location is great in proximity to work, and I also enjoy interacting with my neighbors. 

What is your favorite Indianapolis event and why?
My favorite Indianapolis events include Indiana Pacers social engagements and music concerts. I love sports and music, so it's hard to choose one specific event.

Have long have you lived at CityWay? What do you like about your floor plan?

I have been at CityWay for almost two years now. I live in the Azure floor plan because it has an enclosed bedroom and plenty of space for me! It is nice being so close to the parking ramp, especially when it comes to groceries.

What is your favorite thing about the city of Indianapolis?    

My favorite thing about Indy is the downtown area. There are plenty of restaurants, professional sports teams, events, and jobs all within a short walk. It is great not having rush hour traffic and simply walking to just about anywhere. When I first moved here, I didn’t expect the concert scene to be so vibrant and convenient. There are a lot of venues, and I have found tickets to be pretty affordable compared to other markets in the country.

What is your favorite bar or restaurant within walking distance of CityWay?

Hard question, but ReBar has become a new favorite of mine. The exposed wood and mood lighting give the bar a great ambiance. I would recommend the cheese curds and the beer card (self-serve beer). If you go over the three beer limit, they reset it for you! Another favorite is Union 50, which actually has a similar feel to ReBar but in a much larger space and the food is excellent. Union 50 is walkable from CityWay on a summer day, but otherwise a short Uber ride will get you there.
