A former bedroom community turned thriving city
Initially a bedroom community of Indianapolis, Carmel now features a thriving downtown of its own with plentiful parks and one of the top school districts in Indiana. East Carmel is a primarily residential area that provides easy access to the many amenities in this burgeoning edge city of more than 100,000 residents. “Decades ago, up through the mid-’90s, if you wanted to go out to eat, if you wanted to go to a show, you’d have to travel to Indianapolis -- in many cases to downtown Indianapolis,” says Adam Aasen, city councilor for Carmel’s Southeast District. That’s no longer the case, making East Carmel a highly desirable location.
East Carmel sits on the north side of Indianapolis.

East Carmel homes reflect city's original growth
Thanks to its proximity to Interstate 465 and Indianapolis, East Carmel is where Carmel experienced its original growth spurt. Most of the homes built in the area were part of Carmel’s 900% growth in population between 1960-2000. Subdivisions of ranches and bi-levels built in the ‘60s and ‘70s have winding streets and cul-de-sacs. There are also custom builds from the 1990s and 2000s, as well as a pair of private lake communities and a golf course community. Estate homes in these communities range from $700,000-1.4 million. Houses elsewhere in East Carmel are between $283,000-$690,000.
Many of the older homes in East Carmel have been renovated.

Carmel Clay Schools among Indiana's best
Students in East Carmel start school at Woodbrook Elementary School, which has an A Niche rating. From there, they attend Clay Middle School, which receives an A, followed by Carmel High School, which earns an A-plus. The high school is regularly rated among the state’s best. As the town has grown, the school has expanded rather than splitting into two high schools, giving every student access to unique features like an auto shop and a planetarium.

Gold Medal-winning parks and plenty of golf
The Carmel Clay park system, spanning over 500 acres in East Carmel, is a two-time winner of the National Gold Medal Award. This honor, given by the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration and the National Recreation and Park Association, recognizes excellence in innovation and planning. Accessibility is a major emphasis, as is variety. River Heritage Park has a wheelchair-compatible playground and pathway overlooking White River. Founders Park features native prairie, wetlands and a fishing pond near a playground designed to reflect its natural surroundings. Inlow Park is known for its splash pad and disc golf course. East Carmel is also a golfer’s haven. Flowing Well Park is home to Old Faithful, an artesian well first discovered in the 1800s. Residents still fill jugs of water here. City-owned Brookshire Golf Course opened in 1970 and is known for its affordable rates. It also features a pool available to city residents with a membership pass. Prairie View Golf Club is the only Robert Trent Jones Jr. design in Indiana and is the rare public course with caddies for those who prefer to walk the course. Plum Creek is a public golf community with a course designed by Pete Dye.
East Carmel children love the giant playground at Founders Park.

Carmel: City of Roundabouts
In 1924, Carmel was one of the first American cities with a traffic light. These days, it’s aiming to be one of the first to get rid of its traffic lights in favor of roundabouts. “There could be a day where we only have one traffic light, and that’s because it’s kind of historic,” Aasen says. The city’s preponderance of roundabouts is unusual for Indiana, but Aasen says that it’s no coincidence that Carmel's rate of traffic fatalities per capita is among the state’s lowest. “By design, they create less head-on collisions,” he says. Though not quite as bike-friendly as Carmel’s downtown or west side, East Carmel has enough bike lanes to earn a 55/100 bike score. There is no public transit in Carmel.
Many of the roundabouts in East Carmel feature colorful sculptures.
East Carmel residents can spend the day driving around town without seeing a traffic light.

Downtown events set Carmel apart
Residents can travel to multiple events in downtown Carmel. The 151,000-square foot Palladium at the Center for Performing Arts has hosted top-line performers like Sting, John Legend and the late Tony Bennett. From Thanksgiving until Christmas, the Carmel Christkindlmarket sets up its German-inspired outdoor shops and skating rink next to The Palladium. And Carmel puts great pride into Carmel Fest, a two-day event culminating with the city’s Fourth of July parade and fireworks show. “The parade is one of the most popular in the state,” Aasen says. “People make fun of us because you see people put out chairs to reserve spots on the parade route two weeks in advance.”
The magnificent Palladium rests in downtown Carmel near East Carmel.

Crime rates among nation's lowest
Aasen notes that the ability to put a chair along the July 4th parade route two weeks in advance underscores one of the best parts of living in Carmel -- no one is worried their chair will be stolen. Carmel is statistically among the safest places in the country, with East Carmel crime rating 1 out of 10 in the CAP Index compared to the national average of 4 out of 10.
