| The
City of Carmel is located just North of Indianapolis between
highways US-31 and IN-431. Considered as part of the Metropolitan
Indianapolis area, Carmel is an affluent community and a popular
destination for professionals moving into the State. Carmel’s location
makes it an easy commute to downtown Indy. The City of Carmel is one of
the fastest growing cities in the nation with a current population
nearing 80,000. Carmel residents are well educated with 50 percent
having attended some college, and an average income of $92,000, which is
one of the highest in the nation. Old downtown Carmel has been
transformed into the new Carmel Arts District, and a new downtown is
being created at City Center and will include a world-class Performing
Arts Center. At the same time, government controls are keeping this
transformation true to the original charm through traditional
architecture. You can learn more about the City Center expansion here.
The City continues to attract new business helping to keep local
property taxes low. Much of which is located in the Carmel business
corridor along US-31, just North of I-465. One of the latest additions
is the Clarian North Hospital, and the Clay Terrace Mall, featured on
our Shopping page. This Community is very family focused and a lot of
attention is paid to quality schools. Though the school system ranks
near the top of the list in the state, the tax rate remains very low
compared to other cities. An entire page of this website has been
dedicated to the local schools and educational facilities. Click on the
Schools link to go directly there. Carmel also has some great local
parks and recreational facilities. Some are more geared toward kids,
while others are fun for the entire family. Visit our Parks page to see
what Carmel has to offer. |
