Hamilton County (Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville: schools, rated, commuting)

[sto819]

I've been trying to do some research on Hamilton County and have been pretty unsuccessful. I'd like some locals' opinions on the best little town for a young couple. From what I understand, Hamilton County has been rated number one by forbes for the best place to raise a family, which is what got me interested to begin with. I would appreciate a few suggestions of some nice places just to get me started. Thanks!

Little town? Carmel, Fishers & Noblesville are all rather large towns. It really depends on if you will be commuting downtown. If so, stick to Carmel or Fishers. But there are some lovely little towns in northern Hamilton county, Arcadia, Atlanta, Sheridan ...

I like the Westfield area too, right between Noblesville and Carmel. Their schools are all located in the same "complex" area so you don't have to go all over town no matter what grade your kids are in. Easy access to US 31 for travel too. It has grown quite a bit over the past 10 years but not as much as Noblesville and not as expensive as Carmel in my opinion.
