Downtown PlymouthIf you’re looking for the perfect place for your family, HomeSnacks.net has done a study in Indiana and Plymouth ranked very high in the study.

Most families looking for a place to move have a strict criteria; the city has to be safe, affordable, and stimulating. Basically, the place you move – or even visit – has to be outright perfect.

According to the United States Census, the number of American families who move is trending downwards.   Why is that? Perhaps it has to do with the safety net’ factor: We get comfortable where we live, and we’re afraid to try a new move. What if the schools are bad? What if it’s dangerous?

HomeSnacks.net says, “Well, we can pretty much guarantee that if you choose the cities mentioned, you won’t lose any sleep whatsoever.”

So, where are the best cities for families in Indiana?  Chesterton tops the list followed by Valparaiso and then Crawfordsville. Carmel is fourth followed by Franklin and Jeffersonville.  Rounding out the top ten you find Noblesville at seven with PLYMOUTH eighth and Westfield and Crown Point tenth.

To give you the places in Indiana which are best for families, HomeSnacks.net looked at a handful of metrics. Using the U.S. Census date produced for the State of Indiana, they  looked at every single city in the state and paid particular attention to:

  • Crime (Both violent and property)
  • Quality of local schools
  • Distance to a major city without necessarily being in it
  • Percent of households with children
  • Family-friendly amenities nearby (museums, libraries and colleges)
