We know life in the Hoosier state is pretty great. Now the rest of the country is starting to recognize this – and it’s about time! Check out this awesome Indiana city that may just be the most livable city in the whole country.
According to a 24/7 WallStreet recent ranking of the top places to live in America, Carmel, Indiana reached the coveted #1 spot as the most liveable place in the country. Carmel's won many #1 awards in recent years and here's why the city topped this new list.
The cost of living in Carmel is extremely affordable when compared to the rest of the country's cities. You can rent a decent two bedroom apartment for a little over $800, a deluxe two bedroom condo for around $1,000, and a three bedroom with pool access for just over $1,200. Coupled with the fact that the typical household here earns $113k+, you can see why this area is thriving.
