SperlingViews - Westfield, Indiana

Excellent bedroom community for the Indy area. Work in southern Carmel about 7.5 miles away. Everyone benefits from the great atmosphere in Carmel, IN.[read more...]

Friendly people, nice clean area with families who have values, well-laid out subdivisions, homes with yards kept up with pride, people wave hi as they drive by, hold doors open as they go in the stores with you, smile as they walk by, etc. The four seasons are nice, and no extremes. A lot of newer areas as the city is growing, a great suburb and easy to get to the city, plenty of shopping of both national chains and locally-owned businesses. Great cost of living and affordable, well-built homes and townhouses. Surrounding suburbs are very nice, too. Very good schools in the area and great post-secondary schools nearby of all types. I've lived in other towns and cities around the country CA, IL, GA, MO, WI and this is by far my favorite.[read more...]

We are not trying to compare to the huge growing and rich neighboring suburbs around us. That is precisely what makes this place have more potential for a cozier and friendlier place. But this is always tough in sprawling suburban towns.[read more...]

My wife and I have lived here for 3 years and we really like it. Overall, the cost of living and housing is good, and the taxes are moderate vs. other states I have lived in (especially OH and IL). You are close enough to Indianapolis for excitement, if you like it, but far enough out to feel a little "country" if you prefer. The schools are excellent, crime very low, and quality of life exceptionally high. People are friendly and seem to be balanced (liberal vs. conservative) in their politics, seeming to be generally tolerant of others' differences so long as they are not causing any harm or disruption to someone else's rights. This is probably one of the best places I have lived.[read more...]
