About Brookhaven

Local Window Treatment Experience in Brookhaven

Brookhaven is one builder for the entire 256-home run, and that makes it one of only two large Zionsville communities where a quote genuinely transfers between houses. Drees Homes built it from about 2006 to 2019 and it's sold out, so the plan catalog is finite and closed. Identify the plan and the opening schedule is effectively known: expect 30 to 42 openings that repeat. In a town where Austin Oaks, Stonegate, Colony Woods and Promontory are all custom, that predictability is genuinely unusual at this price band.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">What varies here isn't the house, it's the direction it faces. Every street ends in a cul de sac, and cul de sac lots are pie shaped and fan outward, so adjacent houses on the same bulb genuinely face measurably different directions. The shading brief changes house to house within one short street in a way a grid plat never produces. Two neighbors with identical Drees plans can need different fabric on the same window, and that's the thing to sort out before anyone picks a color.

We have served Brookhaven homeowners through the full range of window treatment needs, from inspections and repairs to full replacements. Whatever the system, our Zionsville crew approaches every project with clear communication and respect for your property.

The Housing Here

256 Drees homes on 137 acres, about 2006 to 2019, sold out

Drees Homes traditional American across roughly twelve years, recorded elsewhere as established 2007 to 2018, on 240 platted home sites with 256 homes recorded. Home sizes run approximately 3,050 to 4,770 square feet, with example homes reaching 5,000 square feet including finished lower levels. Median sold price is $897,000 and the five year average is $837,000 across 62 sales. One builder for the whole run means casing and jamb detailing are consistent within a plan and consistently framed across the subdivision.

The site is what makes Brookhaven distinctive. More than 80 acres of the 137-acre site are open green space, so roughly 60 percent of the ground isn't built on, and nothing else in Zionsville gives up that proportion. Lots average 0.49 acre, just under half an acre. Four ponds and lakes with waterfalls sit inside the plat, which means moving water and moving reflected light on the lots that face them. The streets are tree lined and every one of them ends in a cul de sac.

What It Means For Your Windows

Repeating plans on lots that face different ways

Thirty to forty two openings in a typical house, and they repeat. One builder over twelve years means a finite plan catalog, so identifying the plan tells us most of what the measure will confirm. Drees specification of this period gives standard returns on secondary openings and deeper trim on the primary rooms, consistent within a plan. Settlement is seven to twenty years and consistent, because one builder framed the whole subdivision, so the squareness picture here is far more uniform than in the custom communities elsewhere in Zionsville.

The shape vocabulary is Drees traditional American of the period: two story family room glass, arched and transom heads on the front elevation, morning room bays, and daylight lower level openings where the lot allows. What the plan can't tell us is the exposure, because the cul de sac plat rotates otherwise identical houses relative to the sun. So the measure is fast on dimensions and slow on orientation, which is the reverse of how a custom subdivision goes.

Pie shaped lots rotate the house

Every street ends in a cul de sac, and bulb lots fan outward, so neighboring houses on the same bulb genuinely face different directions. Two identical Drees plans thirty feet apart can need different openness factors on the same window. We record the orientation of every elevation rather than assuming the plan tells us.

Waterfalls, not just ponds

Four bodies of water with waterfalls sit inside the plat, which means moving water and moving reflected light on the lots that face them. Reflected glare arrives from below the direct sun angle and shifts through the day, so it reaches eye level in rooms that direct sun never touches.

Sixty percent open ground

More than 80 acres of the 137-acre site are open green space. On the lots backing onto it, there's no neighboring building and no structure to break the sightline, so the rear elevation carries its whole exposure period without help. That's a different brief from a lot facing another house across a street.

The plan tells you the openings

A single builder for the entire 256-home run means a closed plan catalog. Identify the plan and the opening schedule is largely known, which speeds quoting and makes a replacement shade years later realistically matchable. We still measure everything, but here the numbers usually confirm rather than surprise.

What We Specify Here

Same house, different sun

The specification here starts from orientation rather than from the plan, which is the opposite of how we work a custom subdivision. We walk the outside of the house first, note which elevation takes what and when, and then decide fabric. The plan tells us sizes and the site tells us fabric, and keeping those two separate is what stops a Brookhaven quote from being a copy of the neighbor's, which is the shortcut people expect and the one that produces a wrong answer.

Solar shades on whichever side gets it

On a bulb lot the elevation that fails may not be the one you'd predict from the street. We hold openness cards against your own view at the hour the room fails and pick per elevation, so one house can carry 3 percent on one wall and 10 percent on another rather than a single number applied everywhere.

Woven wood shades on the green space side

Lots backing onto more than 80 acres of open ground and tree lined streets are looking at something worth looking at, and a natural weave reads as part of that view where a flat fabric doesn't. A privacy liner is a separate line and it isn't optional in any room used after dark, since an unlined weave shows shapes from outside.

Motorized upper units on the family room glass

Drees put two story family room glass on the larger plans, and the upper units get split on existing mullion lines and motorized. We survey the radio path before quoting, disclose that Hunter Douglas puts PowerView battery life at about a year, and set travel limits at install with a re verification afterward.

Faux wood on the daylight lower level

Where the lot allows it, these plans put daylight openings in the lower level, and those sit in cooler air with a higher chance of winter condensation on the glass. Composite or PVC slats handle that and handle the wear better than fabric does in a room that doubles as storage or a workout space.

Getting Around

Streets, landmarks and schools

Fontaine Way and Glen Avon Way are the recorded street names, on a plat where every street ends in a cul de sac and the streets themselves are tree lined. The shared amenities are a neighborhood pool, a playground, basketball courts, and four ponds and lakes with waterfalls, all set within more than 80 acres of open green space on a 137-acre site south and east of US 421. Residents here feed Union Elementary rather than Pleasant View, which distinguishes them from Cobblestone Lakes and Colony Woods.

Association Rules

An association managed by Kirkpatrick, with no published guideline retrieved

Brookhaven has an association in place, managed by Kirkpatrick Management Co. No published architectural guideline document was retrievable and no recorded window covering rule was found, which we'd rather state as a limit on what we know than translate into permission. If you're planning an exterior shade, an exterior screen or an awning, ask the association for the recorded covenants in writing before you order rather than after fabrication has started. For anything inside the glass the position is clear and it's the same across the whole town: nothing in the codified Zionsville ordinance reaches interior window coverings anywhere, and the only published window covering restriction we located in any Zionsville association belongs to Vonterra, which prohibits reflective window screens and coverings on its own lots and has no bearing here.

Common Questions

Brookhaven Window Treatment FAQ

Questions we hear most often from Brookhaven homeowners.

For sizes, often yes. For fabric, no, and that's the specific trap here. Drees built all 256 homes from a finite plan catalog, so two houses on the same plan have very similar opening schedules. But every street in Brookhaven ends in a cul de sac, and bulb lots are pie shaped and fan outward, so those two houses can face measurably different directions. The window that takes brutal afternoon sun at one address takes gentle morning light at the other. We measure the openings and then walk the outside of your specific house before choosing anything.
Thirty to forty two in most Brookhaven plans, and they repeat. Home sizes run about 3,050 to 4,770 square feet with examples reaching 5,000 including finished lower levels, and Drees traditional American of this period puts two story family room glass on the larger plans plus morning room bays and daylight lower level openings where the lot allows. The predictability is real: this is one of only two large Zionsville communities where identifying the plan tells you most of what the measure will confirm. The other is Cobblestone Lakes.
On the lots that back onto it, considerably. More than 80 acres of the 137-acre site are open green space, roughly 60 percent of the subdivision, so a rear elevation facing it has no neighboring building and no structure to break the sightline. It carries its whole exposure period without help, which is a different brief from a lot looking at another house across a street. It's also a view worth keeping, which usually argues for a solar fabric at a moderate openness or a woven wood rather than something that shuts the window down.
They add moving reflected light, which behaves differently from direct sun. Four bodies of water with waterfalls sit inside the plat, and reflected light off moving water arrives at the window from below the direct solar angle and shifts continuously, so it reaches eye level in rooms direct sun never touches. The practical consequence is that a fabric chosen only against the compass can still leave a room with a glare problem. On water facing elevations we usually go a step lower on openness and toward a darker fabric, which handles moving glare better.
Yes. Drees built the whole run from about 2006 to 2019 across 240 platted home sites, 256 homes are recorded, and the community is complete. That matters for two reasons. First, the plan catalog is closed, so what's here is what will be here, and matching becomes a question of product lines rather than of new construction. Second, settlement is seven to twenty years and consistent, because one builder framed everything, which makes the squareness picture more uniform than in the custom communities elsewhere in Zionsville.
Consistently, which is the useful word. Seven to twenty years of settlement, framed by one builder to one specification, means the deviations we find in one Brookhaven house tend to look like the deviations in the next. That's the opposite of Stonegate, where sections built a generation apart sit under one subdivision name, and the opposite of the Village, where nothing repeats at all. We still three point measure and run the diagonal on every opening, but here the numbers usually confirm the plan rather than contradicting it.
None that we could retrieve. Brookhaven's association is managed by Kirkpatrick Management Co., and no published architectural guideline document was retrievable, so no recorded window covering rule was found. That's a statement about what we could reach, not a statement that no rule exists. Ask for the covenants in writing before you order anything visible from outside. Inside the glass, the position is settled: the Zionsville town code doesn't reach interior window coverings anywhere, and the only published Zionsville association rule on the subject is Vonterra's and applies only there.
Split it and motorize the upper units. Drees put that arrangement on the larger plans, and the split gets planned to land on existing mullion lines so the divisions read as designed rather than improvised. The upper units go motorized because nobody uses a shade at that height otherwise, and we survey the radio path before quoting rather than discovering a dead spot later. Access gets settled at the measure, since some of these walls need more than a ladder, and Hunter Douglas puts PowerView battery life at about a year, which we say up front.
