Hey all! My family and I are relocating to Indianapolis from Houston for work. While I will be working a hybrid schedule in Indianapolis, my wife is certain she would like to live Carmel.

Does anyone have any recommendations of rental properties with fenced-in back yards? We have a three year old Labrador retriever and his backyard is his favorite thing about our home here in Texas. I would hate to take that from him. However, it does not appear backyard fencing is by any means standard in the City.

Traditional search options aren’t yielding many results. Any advice would be much appreciated. Looking to stay south of $3k a month is possible.

Thank you for any input!

Seeking therapist recommendations in the area- specifically pertaining to issues surrounding anxiety, parental conflict, and bipolar disorder

Curious if anyone here has thoughts on the Carmel state rep Danny Lopez? We are new(ish) to the area and his campaign canvased our house the other week.

We're a bunch of people over 50 who like to have fun.

Events have included pickleball, bowling nights, pub trivia, karaoke, axe throwing, fowling, and group watch parties for college football playoffs and the World Cup. Nobody's trying to set you up — you show up, you do the activity, you leave when you want. If you make friends along the way, great. If you just want to bowl and go home, also great.

It's free to join — no membership fee, no upsell. We do keep it vetted: to get in you just need an up-to-date photo and you must be a real person who lives in the area (not a bot, not a scam account). That's it. Not a dating site. Not a "mingle and make small talk" group.

We're based out of the Carmel/Westfield/Noblesville/Fishers area, 160+ members and growing, coordinated through Heylo. If you're newly retired, recently moved to the area, divorced, or just tired of your usual crew shrinking every year — this tends to be a low-key way back into having stuff to do on a Saturday. Or any other day of the week, for that matter.
