While the commutes are a bit rough in the morning and afternoons, waiting in traffic seems to be worth it to many residents here. Fishers, like many other North side suburbs (Carmel, Noblesville, Zionsville, and Westfield), offers a low crime rate due to a quality police department. Fishers offers state of the art municipalities including the fire department, local parks, wildlife reserves, and scenic lake views (Geist).

Families gravitate toward Fishers because of the parks, and friendly schools. Once a competitor for largest high school in the State of Indiana, Hamilton SouthEastern High School (HSE) has since split and a new high school was added to Fishers.
