Carmel

A suburb of Indianapolis, Carmel, Indiana is located just south of the city and it has about a population of about 80,000 residents. This is a fast growing town with a vibrant economy, and a number of redevelopment programs in recent years have transformed this from just a sleepy suburb to a great place to live, work, and play. Carmel has the unique distinction of being selected by CNN Money Magazine as the “Best Place to Live in America” in 2012. There is a good reason they earned that recognition. Carmel has a number of attractions for all ages, and it is made up of distinct neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has its own architectural diversity, and the city is home to many professional athletes, company CEOs, and other influential people. Many residents here can get to work, shop, and dine out without needed a car, and this is one of the most bike-friendly cities in the nation.
