My parents moved to Fishers in 99. It was nothing but corn fields at the time, so I completely understand where you're coming from when you talk about the fast growth Fishers had these past 20+ years. It's a completely different town now. Love the video!
I moved out of Fishers, too.... found a few acres to start our Homestead. I do miss Fishers... it's the best city I've ever lived in. Clean, low crime, lots to do... the idea of connecting public spaces and private neighborhoods with the sidewalk system is wonderful.
I am one of very few that grew up in Fishers-70’s/80’s. Very rural farm community. Cumberland road was a gravel road. Archers meat market, nickel plate bar and barber shop was all that was ‘downtown’. Hamilton SE was 1A school. Unbelievable growth.
Yes, grew up same time just south of Fishers. When my parents got first phone bill, it said our area was “Fishers” and they said where is Fishers?!? 😅 I miss some of the “old” Fishers; growth isn’t always good. 🥴
I grew up in the Fishers of the 60’s 70’s. I still live in Hamilton County, and I understand change and growth, but I miss the quaintness and charm of Fishers, Noblesville, Carmel and Westfield. I attended K-12 in HSE schools - Kindergarten was in the original Fishers High School (now demolished), 1-6 in the elementary school and 7-12 at HSE.
I grew up in McCordsville in the 50's and 60's. My brother, myself and some other friends from there would occasionally ride our bikes from McCordsville to the Northern Beach Club to go swimming. Northern Beach was located just west of the White River off the south side of 116th street and had a U- shaped swimming pool. We would ride our bikes north out of McCordsville on Olio Road, across the reservoir, up the hill to 116th street, then head west towards Fishers. This was the mid 1960's and it was all farmland and just 2 lane country roads with very little traffic. When we got to Fishers, there was a stop light for then divided state highway IN 37, which was at the very eastern edge of Fishers. After biking through town, it became farmland again and then we got to Allisonville Road. It was a 4-way stop with a flashing red light over the intersection. There was a small restaraunt on the southwest corner which if I remember correctly, was owned by Sahm's, Anyway, just a little more riding for 1 1/2 miles and we were at Northern Beach. It was probably a 45 minute bike ride from McCordsville. There was hardly any traffic, and the scariest part was crossing IN-37. Fishers was just a wide spot on 116th street. Those days were the greatest and how much kids miss out on today although I can't imagine attempting this now with such heavy traffic.
I grew up in Greenfield and absolutely hated it. It was a culturally destitute hellscape. I lived in downtown Carmel for 5-6 years after college and loved the community and amenities. After meeting my wife I moved in with her in Lawerence. Not the nicest area, but it’s only a 10 minute drive to Fishers, which we loved. With a baby on the way we decided to buy 10 Acres in Fortville. Still somewhat close to the north side.
Grew up on the South East side of Indy in beautiful "Historic Irvington" I'm now living in your neighboring town New Palestine.. New Palestine is amazing and I don't see myself ever leaving New Pal.. Its also starting to REALLY Grow!!
I was born at Methodist Hospital and lived in Indianapolis until I was nearly 15, My parents both graduated from Speedway High School and my Grandparents lived in Speedway on a lovely tree-lined quiet street. My cousin owns a farm in Danville and wants me to move back to Indy now that I am semi-retired from nursing, I live in Washington, DC and I know traffic believe me! I prefer to live close to my work and be in a walkable location to grocery stores, church, etc. I also like an upscale neighborhood. A friend of mine in DC is building a house in Westfield now and she is very excited to be only eight minutes from Carmel and all the activities there. So much to consider. My Mother's sister lived in Greenwood and then moved to Sweetwater Lake in Brown county after she retired from Eli Lilly. I am considering how to go about this at my age. I love Indy very much and it is home.
I live about half way Between Indy and Terre Haute. Property taxes 1 mile from where I live which is Hendricks Co. are like 10 times higher. A lot of families try to live closer to the wife's work, which only makes since. Greenfield probably still has that small town feel and your within 30-40 minutes of downtown Indy.
Thanks for sharing. Always love watching your videos on the Indianapolis surrounding areas. I spent a little time exploring Fishers this past October. I really like almost all the areas around Indy. Every week I seem to have a new favorite (usually whichever area featured in your latest video)! Lately though I've been leaning towards Avon as my destination when I win the lottery. You'll still be first call when I get that winning ticket!
Hi, I really enjoy watching your videos and I have learned a lot. I'm living in Arizona now, but I grew up in the BroadRipple / Carmel / Indianapolis areas. Home sweet home! well kinda sort of ;) (it's nice to go back home sometimes)
Grew up in Avon in the 50's and 60's. Hard to see the "busy-ness" all around us, but it happens. Live in Danville now, which has stayed smaller longer, but it's growing as well.
@@LivingInIndianapolis- Except the dolts that are supposed to control growth love nothing more than to rubber-stamp any crappy proposal that’s put under their noses.
If you move to Indy you have so many unbelievable options. Any of the surrounding suburbs are great and it really does depend on what works best for your family and how much time are you willing to spend in a car commuting.
I worked in Greenfield nice place but it still seems like a drive to Avon you could move Danville or Avon brownsbirg Plainfield I would think that would be closer

Very clean city for sure. I love Fishers

Every place on Earth was the same.
@ you are probably right but not every place grew from one 1A school to two 6A schools in 18 years.

Jason, wishing you and your family many years of happiness in Greenfield
Thank you so much!
I love living in quiet Shelbyville, Indiana. I used live in Castleton, but the crime was getting bad.
I like Shelbyville. We will likely cover it in 2025
I always called Fishers new money Carmel old money. Enjoyed your video !
Thanks!

Greenfield does have that small town feel. Super convenient to Indy as well

Avon is a good spot. Are you playing the lottery! You have to play to win! Thanks for watching the videos
@@LivingInIndianapolis Been buying a couple tickets a week! Fingers crossed I get a winner!
I Grew up in Greenfield, In. Love the place.
Ageed!

Agreed. It's nice to go home. I do like Arizona too

You're right. Danville is growing. At least there's some space between it and Avon so will take time to fill

It's true
I loved living in Indy, but I hated working in Indy. Living in Zionsville was awesome!! ❤
Zionsville is a great place to live.
I worked in Greenfield nice place but it still seems like a drive to Avon you could move Danville or Avon brownsbirg Plainfield I would think that would be closer
Agreed. Driving from Greenfield to Avon is a haul
i would love to find a quiet area in indy. im tired of all the city noise. planes, buses, highways, gunshots, sirens, you name it
There are quite a few quiet spots in Indy. Nora is nice. Franklin Township can be quiet too
We have our Retirement Ranch in Madison Indiana ❤
Very nice!
Gee...you moved because you wanted to be closer to work. Could have been a 22 second video
Thanks!
@@LivingInIndianapolisGreat video and story. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you as well!
Maybe even an email?
20 year from now the place will be scary. Or it will start to be worn and scary. I love Fishers and Carmel. Great people too!
Typical real estate salesman. Too bad your wife has to work so you have enough money to live.
Most households need both spouses to work in order to live a nice life when you have children! Why are you being such a condescending AH?
Ew... kids... gross!
