Great place to raise a family!

I lived in Carmel for 12 years. It is an affluent city, although it also contains areas that are older and more affordable (central area of the city; whereas the eastern and western borders of the city limits are mainly newer, very large homes and some mansions).
The school system is excellent, and crime is low. There is a strong sense of community, which contributes to a well-kept community and strong volunteerism, although it is also somewhat "Stepford-ish". Politically, Carmel is VERY conservative.
Climate: well, this is the Midwest, so hot and humid summers and cold winters.
Overall, I am glad I lived there while raising my family, and would recommend it.
