Indianapolis has family-friendly suburbs, but a few repeat offenders stand out. Suburbs in Indianapolis, like Fishers, Zionsville, Carmel, and Greenwood, are ideal places to raise a family. Most suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana, are huge, and not everyone wants shopping and movie theaters.
But which suburbs in Indianapolis are quieter, smaller, and still suitable for raising a family? Below are the family-friendly suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana, which are great if you're searching for a rural lifestyle, a lakeside community, or developments with a little more room.
Indianapolis residents who wish to feel like they don't live in the suburbs will love New Palestine. This rustic, open area is called "New Pal" by locals. New Palestine is a great area to reside in an agricultural setting and increase your land.
Those seeking the county-adjacent front porch swing lifestyle must forego some conveniences. In New Pal, nothing is within walking distance. There's nothing within a few minutes' drive. Although New Palestine has limited conveniences, you can get what you need. The town has grocery stores, clinics, and other necessities, but you must go to a larger city for comprehensive shopping.
New Palestine has an excellent school system. Though small, these schools are good. Many Hancock County students attend New Palestine High School even though they don't reside there. New Palestine is a safe, family-friendly suburb that appreciates the simple things in life.
Population growth in Bargersville. As far south as the Indy Metro Area can go, this family-friendly suburb of Indianapolis is. Bargersville is farther south than Greenwood but still has much to offer: good schools, lovely residences, and exciting things to do almost year-round.
Outdoor lovers love Bargersville. South of the Mighty Ohio River on Indiana's southern border, undulating hills and lush forests replace central Indiana's plains. A nature lover's paradise is the Hoosier National Forest and Brown County State Park south of Bargersville. Bargersville, Indiana, feels like the woods with fishing, camping, hiking, and great mountain biking trails.
West of Brownsburg, IN, Pittsboro is a lovely suburb of Indianapolis. Pittsboro is smaller than Bargersville or New Palestine but has 3,500 residents. Residents in Pittsboro enjoy a quieter lifestyle yet have all the facilities of Brownsburg, one of Indianapolis' largest suburbs. Although rural and open, Pittsboro is adjacent to Eagle Creek State Park, making it a good compromise between New Palestine and Bargersville.
Choosing public education in Pittsboro means sending your kids to Brownsburg High School. Although vast, this school's evaluations speak for themselves. Brownsburg High School is an excellent choice for your kids, with many activities, athletics, and organizations.
McCordsville and Fishers are often mistaken as the same, but it's not since it's smaller and quieter.
Being close to Fisher allows McCordsville to have suburban and rural vibes while being one of the fastest-growing in the Indy Metro location.
The Geist Reservoir is a significant benefit of this modest, family-friendly community. One of Central Indiana's most prominent attractions, this stunning water feature has over 1,900 acres of water. Residents near the reservoir enjoy fishing, boating, swimming, and aqua fun, letting them enjoy lake life. This location explodes in summer, so be prepared to welcome a more significant population if you move here.
Cicero is a drive on the northern end of Indy if you work downtown or frequent the city. Despite being an overlooked suburb, its merits outweigh its cons.
Cicero has several fantastic school districts, depending on where you live. In most Indianapolis suburbs, public schools are well-ranked. It also offers a love of the outdoors in Cicero Red Ridge Park.
There's a busy scene in downtown Cicero. Recently, Cicero's newly revitalized downtown has become charming and none of the other little suburbs have a golf course like what they have. Although smaller than Indianapolis' suburbs, this area has a little of everything.

Autumn in Indiana is magical. It has something special that makes us yearn for it after a long, hot summer. The fall season is one of the most beautiful times of the year, and it hosts many festivals to celebrate.
Other than the lovely weather, the local events happening this time are one of the most anticipated things in the Hoosier State.
The following are some of the popular Indiana autumn festivals -- ones you cannot say no to.
The Garden of Newfields hosts an incredible autumn-themed array of fun, games, and other activities from the first to the last day of October (October 1st through October 30th). A creepy ghost train, a bright jack-o'-lantern path, food and drinks, and plenty of activities at Mischief Manor can all be found in this location.
It is one of the most enjoyable events for families that you don't want to miss. A range of pricing options are available, and the performance opens at 7:30 p.m. each night.
ZooBoo is a great tradition held by the Indianapolis Zoo. From September 27th through October 31st, 2023, people can enjoy a live DJ, magic acts, a mirror maze, and more.
The event's fee is included in the admission of non-members while it is free for the zoo members. A grown-up trick-or-treat path runs from 5 to 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
The beautiful Parke County Covered Bridge event is a fantastic celebration that serves as a reminder of Indiana's history, present, and future. It is also the most significant event in the state of Indiana.
The most well-known covered bridge festival in the United States of America is an essential part of autumn and cannot be skipped. It hosts lots of opportunities to eat and shop and is a great Indiana event for the entire family. Since the celebrations will continue from the 13th to the 22nd of October, you can spread out the visits to each location.
Participate in the activities at Anderson Orchard from the 30th to the 1st of October. This year's festival will feature more than one hundred different vendors.
The apples in the orchard will be hand-picked, and there will also be a petting zoo and face painting available. The children even have access to a playground and a climbing structure made of straw.
This one is entertaining for all family members, although it is most likely best suited for families with children aged 12 and up.
In the fall season, Conner Prairie hosts its annual Headless Horseman Festival. At this event, visitors can immerse themselves in the eerie world of the well-known horror story concerning --- you guessed it --- a horseman without his head.
From the 5th to the 29th of October, every Thursday through Sunday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. there will be an abundance of events and shenanigans.
Be prepared to have a good time because fortune-telling and other carnival-style activities, games, and rides will be there.
Now that we've got that out of the way, here are five of the most popular Indiana autumn festivals to get you in a seasonal mood and make fall even more enjoyable.

It is simply a matter of being familiar with Indiana to determine whether or not it is a good decision to relocate there. This guide will help you get familiar with the state and determine whether Indiana is an appropriate area for you to reside.

The state's job market provides an answer to the issue of why relocate to Indiana. Indiana is home to small, medium, and large firms. Indiana's key sectors include agriculture, energy, manufacturing, steel production, healthcare, and professional services. Manufacturing employs around 17% of all nonfarm employment. Major corporations are concentrated in medium and bigger cities. One of the advantages of relocating to Indiana is that the state has a lower unemployment rate than the national average.
Certain industries in Indiana are heavily concentrated in tiny geographic areas, which is a distinctive feature of the state's economy. Northwest Indiana, for example, is home to some of the major steel mills in the United States. More than half of the blast furnace capacity in the United States is located in Lake and Porter Counties.
Another example is that 80% of recreational vehicles (RVs) manufactured in the United States are constructed in Northeastern Indiana, in places like Goshen. Elkhart County is known as the "RV Capital of the World," whereas Warsaw, Indiana is known as the "Orthopedic Capital of the World" due to the presence of three large orthopedic medical equipment firms.
Here are some more details on the Indiana job market:
The population of Indiana is increasing. Indiana now has a population of approximately 6.79 million people. This is a 300,000 increase over 2010. More information about Indiana's current population can be found here. In addition, the Indiana University Kelly School of Business publication INContext offers an excellent chapter on Indiana's predicted population growth until 2050.
Many surveys have placed Indiana as one of the most affordable states to live in. Yes, our wages may be slightly lower than those in other states. We make up for it, however, with a low state-income tax rate, constitutionally protected property tax caps, near access to important resources, and a competitive business environment that welcomes new companies.
According to U.S. News & World Reports, Indiana is the third cheapest state. If you search the internet for this question, you will most likely discover multiple studies ranking Indiana as one of the top ten most affordable states.
The four seasons have been experienced in every section of the state. Winter, on the other hand, is a wildcard. Temperatures in the spring and fall are mild, with highs in the 50s and 60s and lows in the 40s. Summer brings days in the 70s, 90s, and even over 100 degrees. Winter is a wild card.
Indiana is a large state that stretches for 250 miles from north to south. The southern portion experiences snow and cold in the winter, as does the center section, albeit slightly more and slightly colder. Northern Indiana, on the other hand, has all the hallmarks of a hard midwestern winter.
Lows in the teens and single digits are common in Northern Indiana throughout the winter. Temperatures below zero are not uncommon. Northern Indiana has the most snow, and there is a phenomenon known as lake effect snow in a few select areas.
In essence, snow bands form off of a huge body of water, like Lake Michigan, and, if conditions are ideal, these bands will dump snow on a region. I have always resided in northern Indiana, which is one of the select locations where this occurs occasionally each year. Sincerely, there was a time when my neighborhood had a 20-inch snowfall in a single day. They had five inches at two miles. They had none five kilometers distant.
The educational system of Indiana is strong. In Indiana, approximately 87% of students complete high school. Of those, over 63% enroll in colleges right away. You may get more information on Indiana's schools here. The Indiana Department of Education works hard to make information about the state's public schools readily available.
Indiana's colleges and universities are among the best in the country. In the past, Purdue University excelled in the sciences and math, producing generations of graduates. Indiana University, Notre Dame, Ball State, Butler, and Valparaiso University are a few of the state's other prestigious universities.
These are just some of the basic things about Indiana. In our next post, we'll learn more about this beautiful Hoosier State.
