New Year, New Levels: Elevating Your Lifestyle at The Win

There is a unique energy that comes with the turning of the year. It is a time for looking forward, setting goals, and refreshing our routines. For residents of The Win, this "fresh start" feeling is built right into the architecture of your home.

Living in a townhome offers a distinct lifestyle advantage, especially during the winter months. With multi-level living and a location in the heart of Broad Ripple, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the season. Here is how you can make the most of your space and neighborhood as we welcome 2026.

The "Upstairs-Downstairs" Advantage

One of the greatest benefits of townhome living is the separation of space. As we embrace the "New Year, New Me" mindset, organization is key, and having multiple levels makes it easier to create distinct zones for your life.

This winter, try "zoning" your home to maximize that cozy factor. Keep your downstairs living area social and bright. Your kitchen, with its waterfall granite island and sleek stainless steel appliances, is the perfect hub for entertaining friends or trying out new winter recipes.

Then, treat your upstairs as your personal retreat. The separation allows you to leave the day's activities (and maybe the clutter) downstairs, keeping your bedroom a peaceful sanctuary for rest. With plush carpeting and 2-inch faux wood blinds to block out the early morning grey, you can create a truly restful "sleep sanctuary" that feels miles away from the busy world below.

A Walkable Winter Wonderland

When people think of Broad Ripple, they often think of summer nights on patios. But our neighborhood has a special, quiet charm in the winter that is perfect for starting the year on an active note.

You are just moments away from the historic Monon Trail. While it’s famous for summer biking, a winter walk on the Monon is brisk, refreshing, and beautiful. It is the perfect way to get your steps in and clear your head. Plus, with so many local coffee shops nearby, you can grab a hot latte to keep your hands warm while you stroll.

For our pet owners, Broad Ripple Park is a fantastic nearby resource. Bundle up and take your furry friend for an adventure along the White River. The crisp air and open space are great for their energy and your peace of mind.

Embracing the "Village" Vibe

Broad Ripple Village is known for its eclectic mix of shops and local businesses, and supporting them is a great way to feel connected to your community this January.

Instead of hibernating completely, take a short walk or drive to explore the vintage stores and boutiques that give our area its character. Finding a unique piece of decor for your townhome or a new vinyl record to play in your living room can make your space feel fresh and new without a full renovation.

And when you don't feel like cooking in your gourmet kitchen? You have some of the city's best dining options right at your doorstep. From comfort food to craft breweries, being part of The Win community means you never have to travel far for a great meal.

Here is to a cozy, organized, and adventurous New Year in Broad Ripple!
