Fishers Indiana Tops Best Affordable Suburbs List!

Congratulations Fishers Indiana! Yet another praise was heaped on the pile for this Indianapolis suburb this week when YAHOO! Real Estate placed it atop its 2010 list of Best Affordable Suburbs in the United States! Apparently Fishers residents aren’t the Fishers train stationonly ones who appreciate the town’s great schools, low cost of living, low crime and reasonable commutes!

Fishers topped suburbs of Honolulu, Hawaii, Charlotte, NC, and Denver, CO on the list. Rankings were based on proximity to a major city, populations between 5,000 to 60,000, median family incomes of $51,000 to $120,000, and lower-than-average crime rates. Affordability factored most heavily in the rankings, followed by livability, education, crime and the economy. Suburbs drew penalties for bad weather (certainly Fishers earned a ding there—let’s be honest) and lack of diversity (another probable ding) along with high divorce rates and few children. In the end, though, everything residents love about Fishers IN, including a top-ranked school system, plenty of parks and recreation venues, pedestrian trails (more are being added this year!) and easy proximity to shopping and entertainment won out!
