We moved to Carmel from the northeast, and at the time I was wary of moving to Indiana - a state I knew nothing about other than farms. Boy, was I wrong. Carmel is beautiful- sophisticated, charming, kind, innovative and stocked with families all working to create a beautiful life for their kids and themselves. Infrastructure is top notch and well-planned, the homes and neighborhoods are gorgeous and affordable, the area is filled with good, high-paying jobs, the public school facilities are amazing, and quality of teaching and programs offered - both public and community programs- are outstanding. Like another poster said, come visit- you will be amazed! I’ve met so many transplants, and some who moved just after seeing Carmel during a visit with friends. I can’t imagine another city offering the quality of life we have in Carmel, we are so grateful to live here. This city is the poster child of forward-thinking leadership as well as listening to what it’s residents want.
Safety & Schools are phenomenal!
Diversity, not so much...
You seriously can't get much better than Carmel's schools, which is a big reason that the pricing of housing is so high.
The Monon rail trail is a good selling point--a paved path that extends for miles in either direction. There's been a ton of growth around it, with bars and music and restaurants.

With all things considered, Carmel is the best place to live in Indiana. The city is amazing and very family friendly, the downtown area is great for meeting up with friends, and the parks are so well maintained! I love Carmel because the school system is nationally one of the top in the country, and the community is very tight knit and loving. I give Carmel an 11/10!
