University Heights is a neighborhood area located on the south side of Indianapolis, Indiana, United States.

[a] In the early 20th century, William L. Elder, an Indianapolis real estate developer, offered the Church of the United Brethren in Christ 8 acres (32,000 m2) of land southeast of downtown Indianapolis to establish a college in exchange for help selling 446 building parcels in a subdivision platted as Marion Heights.

According to the Encyclopedia of Indianapolis, homes in the neighborhood were built in a "variety of architectural styles reflecting middle-class tastes from the early 1900s to the 1950s".

[2] Rapid transit was reintroduced to University Heights with the September 1, 2019, opening of IndyGo's Red Line.

[6] The battery electric bus rapid transit route's southern terminus is located at the University of Indianapolis near the intersection of Shelby Street and Hanna Avenue.
