Fishers Apartments and Rentals

Located in the heart of the the Hoosier State just 17 miles northeast of Indianapolis, Fishers is one of Indiana's most revered communities. A small and welcoming community in the crossroads of everything Indianapolis has to offer, Fishers apartments for rent have become quite a hot commodity to many Indiana residents. The city has seen explosive growth in recent years, with a 103 percent increase in population from 2000 to 2010, according to information from City-Data. Because of everything this charming town has to offer, Fishers is showing why it is one of the state's premier communities.

The city was originally known as Fishers Station and Fishers Switch before settling on the name of Fishers. Named after Salathiel Fisher, one of the original inhabitants in the area, the city saw much of its growth due to the railroad spreading out of Indianapolis. Fishers grew slowly over time and established itself as a milling and agricultural town. Today, Fishers has become the fastest-growing suburb in Indianapolis with more than 76,700 residents, according to 2010 data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Named one of America's Best Places to Live by Money Magazine, it is easy to see why so many people call Fishers home.

One of the city's premier attractions is the Conner Prairie Living History Museum, named after one of the town's original settlers. Complete with a pioneer village full of 19th-century relic and period dress, this fun, educational experience attracts visitors from across the state every year.

Since the city got its start as a railroad town, it makes sense that the community takes great pride in its historic station. The trains that continue to come in and out of this 19th-century attraction harken back to the thriving past, present and future of this charming Indiana city.
