Carmel Indiana Town CenterNeed a reason to consider relocating to Carmel Indiana? That's easy, since there are PLENTY! For one thing, Carmel was just named one of the Best Cities to Relocate To by Sperling's BestPlaces.net. The list factors in everything from cost of living to housing prices, crime rates, quality of education, and access to cultural events. But those are just generals. Let's get specific. What, exactly, is it that makes Carmel a fantastic place to live, work and play? Here's my list of (just a few) of the Best Reasons to Move to Carmel Indiana.

Carmel subdivision Moffit FarmThe Real Estate - Carmel real estate includes some of the most spectacular and priciest homes in Indiana. But in general, Carmel homes are very affordable. The average price of Carmel homes is well below the national median of $171,700, and the cost of living is 17.8 percent below the national average. Search Carmel homes for sale.

Carmel High School football stadiumThe SchoolsCarmel Clay Schools are ranked among the best in the nation, and are well-known for excellent academics, athletics, and extra-curricular activities. The Carmel Clay school district includes 10 elementary schools, three middle schools, and one high school, all of which earned an Exemplary rating from the state of Indiana and a 10 out of 10 from greatschools.net.

The Community – A farmers market, summer concert series and International Arts Festival are just some of the great community activities you'll find in Carmel. And with 23 municipal parks home to playgrounds, shelters, trails, an amphitheater, water features, basketball and volleyball courts, softball diamonds, soccer fields and fishing, you'll never run out of fun things to do in Carmel!

Carmel Arts & Design DistrictThe Arts & Design District –Located in the heart of Old Town Carmel, the Arts & Design District features trendy art galleries, restaurants, boutiques and shops. And with the January 2011 opening of the city’s new state-of-the art concert hall, The Palladium, the Arts & Design District becomes a hub for culture. While you’re there be sure to tour the Museum of Miniatures and grab a burger at Bub’s! www.carmelartsanddesign.com/

Monon TrailThe Monon Trail – A former railway track is now a premier pedestrian path which runs 5.2 miles from Carmel to Indianapolis where it connects with the Monon Greenway. Along the way, the Monon links commercial districts, schools, parks, the state fairgrounds and a more than a dozen residential neighborhoods. Depending on the time of year, you can walk, run, cycle or cross country ski on the trail. You’ll also find plenty of interesting places to stop along the way, including another Carmel hot spot, the Clay Terrace mall! www.indygreenways.org/monon/monon.htm

I love it when they take old railroad paths and turn them into something useful instead of just letting the old rails rust from non-use.

Pat  I always love to read about the transitions they make in older sections of a town or city.  It revitalizes it and gets the public excited and involved.   I also stopped by to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas - like Santa I've got a lot of stops to make
