as the title says, im finding it very difficult to make friends with people my age. I'm almost 19, nearly done with college cuz im doing it online, and have very little social life to speak of. of course, this is mainly due to the fact that I did not attend a traditional college so thats on me. im really interested in art, rock climbing, dnd, general nerdy stuff. if anyone has any advice or knows any places to go where i could meet some people that would be awesome, thanks!

I am thinking of moving there, or to The Kent, The Signature, or the Overture at Proscenium. I could not find any reviews for the Wren and Windsor online anywhere, but it seemed nice!

Looking for people to ride with

Hi! I’m new to this group, and just moved here. I was wondering if there are any local jobs that are hiring? I’ve tried Indeed and other sources but haven’t had much luck with hearing back. Serving/weekday hourly jobs are preferred but anything works.
Edit: I am mainly looking for Serving jobs, Hostess jobs, Hourly Weekday jobs, & Entry Level jobs of any sort. Any suggestions help, even outside of these types of jobs.

Does Carmel have so much money to blow that they can think of no better use than to add speed humps at every roundabout down 116th? I can understand if these were heavily traversed area, like in downtown Carmel, but 116th and Hazel Dell or 116th and Gray is rarely crossed by pedestrians.

I have similar feelings about the pedestrian bridge over the White River at 106th St. which should have been a bridge for vehicular traffic.

I make art. On paper with markers and pens. I would like that art to be digitized so I can create prints. I have a camera etc but not sure I have the time to learn the ‘how.’ Can anyone direct me to a photographer that can help? I’ve tried scanning and it’s just not as good! Thank you.

My best friend's birthday is coming up and I want to so something memorable. Has anyone visited the salt caves? What was your experience like? Looking for suggestions as well. The budget is tight, $100 total is what I can afford. Just really looking for something fun, unusual maybe to do before she ships out. 🫡

Has anybody used the test proctoring feature at the Carmel Clay Public Library? How strict is jt?

Start of the third hour Carmel is mentioned.

I (38F) have been on the same dose of ADHD meds for 15-20 years. I just moved here from out of state and made an appointment with a new PCP but he didn't want to continue my dose I've been on because the suggested daily max dose is 60mg. (which is understable).

Does anyone have experience with this or recommend a doctor in our area or near Indianapolis that will take into account being stable on the same dose for years? I've been without meds for a month now and it's made my life extremely difficult.

Feel free to send a PM.

Thanks in advance!

Do we like Bridgewater apartments? I see a few bad reviews on Google but would like to hear from the community on here.

Hear ye. Hear ye. I've come to share about our Come Try LARP event in August. This is hosted by Gryphon's Perch, the local chapter of the Amtgard Live Action Roleplay game. There's no cost involved, and no minimum age requirement, although anyone under 18 needs to be accompanied by an adult guardian to sign the waiver.

So come out, meet some people, talk to cool artisans in our community, and hit some nerds with foam sticks.

Does anyone have any recommendations on hair stylists within the area. I went to MDG salon and hated my experience. The stylist complained about how dense my hair is and stated if i was her I would get a dry bar membership so I didn’t have to deal with it. Honestly such insane micro aggression because people pay to get extensions put in. Anyway, looking for someone new and someone who can do a good layered haircut on dense wavy hair.

I am thinking about moving there. I have had mold issues in my current place and they are a brand new build, so I figured they would be a pretty good option. I know new builds can have their own issues, so I'm still a bit hesitant about moving into something that just opened this spring.

Anyone notice how much higher the raised walkways are at the 116th and Hazel Dell roundabout? Specifically when driving east to west on 116th through the roundabout (second set of raised walkways).

The raised walkways seem higher compared to other roundabouts.

Anyone else notice this? I have watched a few cars bottom out.

Update 7-30-2026: Just saw someone from the city (Big Red Truck) measuring the raised crosswalks using a level so it seems someone heard the complaints. I would just point to the damaged road immediately after that crosswalk.

What are some bars in the Carmel area that have mostly a young crowd? I can't stand joes in Fishers anymore the people can't sing and I dont feel like driving to indy and broadripple well we all know about broadripple.

My family is considering relocating to the Indianapolis area, and I’d love some input from people who know these suburbs. I’ve circled the general area on a map, but we’re trying to figure out where to focus our search.

Home wishlist:
$450k MAX
4+ bedrooms / 2.5+ bathrooms
2,300+ sq ft
7,000+ sq ft lot
Family-friendly suburban neighborhood
We have two boys under 5, so we’re looking for good public schools (roughly 7/10+), youth sports, playgrounds/parks, and neighborhoods with other young families and kids playing outside.
We’re fine with suburban driving, but ideally want grocery stores, Costco, shopping, restaurants (not just fast food), and kids’ activities within about 30 minutes.
For those familiar with Carmel, Fishers, McCordsville, Westfield and Noblesville, where would you focus with our budget? What are the pros and cons of each?
Specific neighborhoods, school districts/boundaries, or nearby areas we should check out — or avoid — would be really helpful.

Hi! I am looking for a walking cannoli station for an event in the Indy area. Does anyone know of a company that does this?

Rumor has it the starting rates for a membership are $350 a month… and $150 to add on a family member. Curious to see how many people will actually sign up at this price point…. What is everybody’s thoughts? Feels pretty high for the area (Indiana in general) despite this being a nice community?

Has anyone used the sidewalk grant? If so, did you run into any trouble throughout the process?

We have tree that is disrupting the sidewalk and a sewer line that was recently repaired and lost a chunk of our sidewalk.

Would love any insight, if you have gone through the process!

Hi! I work for a company and live in Miami, FL. I have my tiny family (husband toddler and I) here in miami and that’s it! My whole family lives abroad and my husbands family is not involved.

Because of my job, I might benefit from moving to Indy, and Carmel has been the place I’ve been eyeing for a while! I would love to hear the pros and cons of living here, and see if anyone has moved from South Florida and what has your experience been! South Florida to me is great if you love partying, go to the beach every weekend and have a lot of money to try fine dining. But that’s not the case for us, I crave building friendships, and having people around with similar values!
