Yet a balanced mix of apartment tenants and professional offices contributes to a vibrant downtown commercial district. Every other year, downtown Noblesville opens its historic upper floors to the public.

As more second and third floor spaces are rehabilitated in Noblesville's downtown, others are rethinking how they use their upper floors.

Noblesville Main Street's Upstairs Downtown tour is an important example of how promoting the creative use of downtown spaces can spur increased interest in the downtown commercial district, both upstairs and downstairs.
