Stately single-family homes and condos with well-kept landscaping
Carmel’s single-family homes line quiet roads that branch off the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare. Home styles range widely, from ranch-style dwellings, split-levels and contemporary designs to Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals and New Traditionals. There are also stately custom mansions, townhouses and condos. Lots are typically over a third of an acre and meticulously landscaped. “My clients comment on how green and well-kept the landscaping is throughout the area, making it a beautiful place to drive through on your commute or if you are running errands,” says Lindsay Patton, a Realtor with The Redbud Group at Keller Williams SouthPark.

“One of my favorite things about buying in Carmel is that pretty much no matter where you buy, you are going to be conveniently located next to a variety of shops, restaurants, and grocery stores,” Patton says. Shopping centers line Pineville-Matthews Road, where you can pick up groceries from Publix or shop at an array of national retailers, such as Lowe’s Home Improvement, Burlington and Pet Supplies Plus. There are many local restaurants to choose from. Residents stop in at Amélie’s French Bakery & Café for a pastry or grab a table at The Rusty Onion to dig into a fully customizable personal pizza.
