Town in Indiana
Current Resident: I’ve lived many places as an adult and my wife and I chose Carmel as the place to raise our family. Our initial exposure was visiting friends that had recently relocated here from California. I’ve never been anywhere that has the combination of great neighborhoods , amazing schools, outstanding athletic programs, quality restaurants all in a safe and affordable environment. I’m convinced that this is the best place to raise a family in the country! Admittedly, we’ve recently noticed the school board adopting more liberal policies and it appears to be proactively recruiting left leaning board members. We left our prior community in suburban Connecticut for this reason as the schools started to decline so we are particularly sensitive to this. That said, I believe the community as a whole is conservative and won’t allow this bent to ruin a good thing. I would highly recommend this a place to raise a family. It’s truly a hidden gem!...

Current Resident: I've been living in Granger for a majority of my life, having moved here sometime when I was 7 or 8, but I can't remember it too well. I've not really had any bad experiences while living here - I can't imagine being away from the place I've lived for so long and that I've built such good memories in. I can't say I have much experience in things like the real estate and affordability and things like that - I'm just a high school student, I haven't really had to deal with much of that. But what I lack in that is where I can make up for it in just the fact that I've had so many good times here, whether it was hanging out with my friends, Halloween nights, times at school, I've always enjoyed my hometown....

Current Resident: I like Zionsville's family friendly atmosphere as well as the great schooling system in town. The high school does a great job in preparing young adults for their college lives and classwork. There are a lot of parks and open areas to exercise and the people are relatively friendly. I think more shops and places to eat in Zionsville would reduce the distance needed to travel for these things, however, I do like the fact that Zionsville is somewhat isolated from the busier atmosphere that Indianapolis brings....

Current Resident: I have lived in Brownsburg cumulatively for about 15 years of my life. This is where I grew up and being younger I always enjoyed brownsburg, then I had moved when I was younger and then moved back, when I did move back I realized how much Brownsburg means to me and how much I feel comfortable here. We have great schools, a great community and we are a growing town that keeps getting better and better.

Current Resident: Noblesville is a great city. I moved here in 2017 to get away from the chaos in Indianapolis. It is just close enough to the city. Great neighbors and all all around people. The schools are great! The community comes together during a crisis, such as covid-19. Itown church is right next door , in Fisher's and that place has changed my life. The only thing i would like to see, is assistance for those who are being released from work release or those with felonys. I work with those in addictions and there is a strong recovery community in Noblesville but not many places offer a second chance for those trying to better their lives.... Read 197 reviews

Very conservative in general, but have found other like-minded individuals :-). Lebanon School District. Not sure how they are, no kids in school.

Current Resident: I really enjoy that it has many stores and restaurants near most suburbs, and I also appreciate the fact that the town has a good community in which people are able to come together. From sports opportunities to classes offered by the town, Saint John is a great place to love. Especially for families, it provides an environment close to stores and businesses, but also has subdivisions that provide room for a family to grow, even connecting with neighbors.

Parent: After retaining an educational consultant and searching the entire DMV for the right independent school, we chose Stone Ridge. We were impressed with the school's sprawling campus and Aquatic Center, but fell in love with the all-girl environment and the school's ubiquitous message of empowerment. Our lower and middle school daughters have already formed wonderful friendships and a love of learning! My middle schooler is constantly challenged in her rigorous curriculum, but as she puts it, "I never knew school was supposed to be fun." In summary: Best. Decision. Ever.... Read 130 reviews

Parent: My husband and I wanted an inclusive school that would be an extension of our family, and we found that in the Burgundy Community. We made the decision to send my son to Burgundy in JK and looking back now as he is in the midst of 2nd grade, choosing Burgundy was the best decision. Burgundy is a nurturing community that fosters the whole child, ensuring life long learners. Burgundy leans into a child's individual character and ensures every child is heard and has a voice. My son loves Burgundy and is thriving. I know without a doubt that Burgundy will lay the foundation for my son's continued success, not only in his future academic pursuits, but in life as a whole!... Read 10 reviews
