Carmel, Indiana is more than an über-suburb of Indianapolis.
It's becoming a destination of its own. Soon to top more than 69,000 people,
Carmel is just north of Indianapolis and is home
to large
companies, such
as HSBC, Delta Faucet,
Thomson Consumer Electronics, Macmillan Publishing,
and Conseco, and to many companies on the cutting edge of their fields. Though
it has a reputation
for affluent neighborhoods, there's still plenty of affordable homes and, increasingly,
townhomes.
Carmel was listed as one of the top ten places to live in the Midwest by Money
magazine for its high quality of life. In the works are the development of
Carmel's downtown Arts and Design District, the Carmel Performing Arts Center
and City Center. The Monon Center at Central Park, a large park complex,
straddles the Monon Trail. It's a $55 million
facility featuring a community center, an aquatic facility with a "lazy river"
feature, sports fields, running track,
and
trails.
Carmel community events include the annual Carmelfest Celebration
with fireworks held at the Civic Center, Carmelfest Parade Spectacular (to
celebrate the 4th of July) and the Carmel International Arts Festival. "Rock
the District" celebrates the merchants of the downtown Carmel area with music
and sidewalk sales.
Carmel is a delight for those who love to shop.
Near at hand are antique shops, fine home furnishings and interior decorating
shops, books and music stores, sports
equipment, office furnishings, and chic clothing retailers. Clay Terrace
offers a unique outdoor mall shopping experience, while the 5-mile Monon
Greenway of Carmel runs
through
the city for biking and walking recreation.
Carmel is in Hamilton County, one of the fastest growing counties
in Indiana. Other cities in Hamilton County include Fishers, Noblesville and
Westfield. In Carmel, the average home price is $339,000, with prices
generally ranging from the low $100,000's to $5,000,000. Good news for
Carmel homeowners: According to the Wall Street Journal's Real Estate Journal.com,
the Carmel, Indiana
/
Indianapolis, Indiana area is one of the least likely areas in the nation
to see falling home prices over the next two years (2007-08).
