Carmel

• Town in Indiana
• 241 reviews

Current Resident: Carmel is a friendly place, and has a higher than average diversity rate (especially compared to the rest of Indiana). There are many family friendly features, especially for young children. There are several parks, such as West Park, Founder's Park, and Coxhall Gardens. The Monon trail also goes through Carmel, which is a great place to get exercise. There is also a very strong public school system, as well as several private schools. Downtown Carmel includes a large library and several local businesses. However the statues downtown are a bit creepy. Carmel is also a very expensive place to live.

Best of all - the nicest people are your neighbors.

Chesterbrook

• Suburb of Philadelphia, PA
• 47 reviews

Current Resident: Before living in Chesterbrook, I lived in Northeast Philadelphia with my four siblings and parents. When I had gotten the news we would be moving to Chesterbrook I was undoubtedly heartbroken as I would be leaving my friends and family behind in Philadelphia. However, after having spent a year living within Chesterbrook, I can say it is one of the safest neighborhoods I have lived in. The area is very family friendly, has amazing schools, and full of color. However, with great areas come downfalls. The lack of diversity within the area is quite disappointing coming from a mid suburban area. The area is also extremely costly due to the conditions of Chesterbrook and is amazing school district, making it difficult to give it a 5/5 rating.

Former Resident: This area is called South Tampa I lived for about 4 years and from Tampa is sad to say that people who has never lived there and definitely not for come and pick a random name place it on the internet and the name doesn't not represent the place at all. The word Spanish first of all makes you think it's a spanish speaking area or that there is a lot of there is a lot of spanish people living in that area.

Richmond Heights

• Suburb of St. Louis, MO
• 18 reviews

Former Resident: One of the best st louis has to offer with it's safe neighborhoods, location and amenities. Lived here for a year and felt safe/comfortable and close to forest park, stores, other neighborhoods and the business districts. The little shops were nice and lots of foot traffic was not weirdos like other areas in the city. community center nearby and overall an excellent place to live. Only issue was with living in an apartment near residential area was making friends. people were more reserved here and I think homeownership is important to fit in.. I would recommend this area to anyone with a family and a well/okay paying job.
