Home Place is a neighborhood located in the city of Carmel, Indiana, in the United States. Before 2018, it was an independent community. It covered about 1,017 acres in Clay Township, Hamilton County, Indiana.
For many years, Home Place residents did not want to become part of Carmel. Carmel had tried to add Home Place to its city limits since 2004. In June 2016, a judge decided that Carmel could go ahead with the plan. This decision was supported by the Indiana Court of Appeals in October 2017. Finally, on March 1, 2018, Home Place officially became part of Carmel.
History of Home Place
