Why Not Try Fishers, Indiana?

Posted March 13, 2010 by Matthew Denton

This suburb has more things to offer than you can imagine.

If there’s one thing that won’t make their residents from moving, it would be the overall quality of living in this town. Recently, Bloomberg BusinessWeekcited the town as the best suburb in America. The official press release states, ” With reasonable property prices, an unemployment rate lower than average, and a good grade for safety, Fishers is the best affordable suburb overall in this year’s survey. The school district here has grown in recent years to accommodate the expanding population, and now includes 12 elementary schools, several intermediate and junior high schools, and two high schools. The town, on the West Fork of the White River, has 12 developed parks, five undeveloped sites totaling 152 acres, and more than 65 miles of multipurpose trail.”

True enough, there is something about this town that would keep residents highly satisfied. Watch as how these people take pride on Fishers.

What I like most about the town is that its commercial activities are not highly affected by the effects of the economic downturn, in fact some are recession-proof at all. Businesses range from life science driven companies, professional practices, advanced/light manufacturing, and distribution centers. Its official town website adds, “Headquarters for the finance, insurance, and real estate industries are being targeted for the Fishers community. Growth in the medical industry and life sciences is also being encouraged through the creation of a Research and Technology Campus in Fishers.”

Apparently, the town has so many things to boast of aside from its economic development. It organizes community get-together activities, garbage recycling programs and municipal programs. And if it’s that not enough to convince you, here’s why Money Magazine ranked it on 10th spot in its 2008 Best Small Cities to Live: “Fishers is growing fast, attracting residents who are young (median age: 30) and smart (over 60% have a bachelor’s degree or more). It has the range of pluses common among our top 10, including a strong economy (lots of life-science companies are moving in), low home prices ($149,700 for the typical house) and good schools (they get high rankings in the state).”
