IPS would be your best bet.....and we do have a good amount of latinos here but probably not as many as you had in california

id say the highest concentration of latinos is on the westside around the 34th and moller area....the high school there is northwest high school and they have more latinos then any other IPS high school

School Snapshot

but the eastside also has plenty of latinos

Westfield Middle School has a latino principal that has brought a significant Latino poplulation to the area. He (Mr. Mendoza) has received state awards for his position.

Default Hispanics like to live with other hispanics

Yes, you are right, "Hispanics like to live with other hispanics."
I can personally vow for that; being a Hispanic migrant worker in the 1940 - 1950 I always looked forward at the end of harvest (up north) to be with people that did not discriminate[FONT=Calibri] against me.[/FONT]

Listen I don't recommend Lawrence - it's too far from everything - and a bad area, if you are near 465 and Shadeland area you will not like it. There are a lot of Latino's in the central north northwest area like 62 N on Michigan Ave lots of grocers, etc.

I am about to move to chi-town because I don't meet enough men of culture around here - and I feel like there are mostly Mexicans only around here who are really nice - and not as racist as a lot of blacks - lots of reverse discrimination here on blacks to whites - but would love to meet latin men - the rarer taller ones

I sell home security systems and the hispanic community is my specialty, can anyone say if the Hispanics communities are home owners or renter mainly. What are some city names they live in?

One thing to note about Indy is youll due fine regardless of what race you are as long as you can speak good english. When i say good i am not saying it has to be 100% perfect but to the point where people can understand you most if not all the time. Indy is friendly to all racial backgrounds if you can just speak english :P

I should also mention you better be a LEGAL citizen if you set foot on our state for any racial background not just mexicans. We don't have a problem with Mexicans/any race as long as they follow the law and become a citizen. (America is an easy country to gain citizenship compared to China/Japan/Korea etc.)
