This community is very tightly knit. The people watch out for each other and support each other in times of need. They are very active in supporting the school and the neighborhood around them.

The environment is culturally diverse and very accepting. Overall, there are many opportunities to meet new people and try new experiences. As for safety, I believe the town is a good place for a family or those who are wanting to live in Indianapolis, but not downtown. The public schools are highly rated and challenge their students. While there is not a lot of nightlife, downtown is very close by and an easy drive.

Everything is within so many miles of what you need for starters. There's tons of stores, and the housing is great, as well as the cost of living isn't too bad either. If you are situated near the highway of 65, then it's great access to downtown and other parts of Indiana.
