Carmel is a very old town, but as Indianapolis grew northward and affluent residents flocked to the suburbs, this tiny town became a major edge city. The Arts and Design District sits on the original Main Street, but many of the buildings are new despite being designed to look much older. Carmel is a little slice of Paris in Central Indiana…full of Euro architecture and roundabouts.
