About Avalon Estates

Local Window Treatment Experience in Avalon Estates

Big houses on one level is the Avalon Estates signature, and it changes almost every product decision. Sixty four percent of closed sales are single level ranch, the covenant floor for a one story house is 2,000 square feet, and finished area averages 3,864. So the glass spreads out at one head height rather than climbing a wall. We work from 26 to 50 openings here, inferred from square footage rather than surveyed, and nearly all of them are reachable from a step ladder. That single fact takes the strongest argument for motorization off the table for most of this subdivision, which is not something we can say about many houses in this price band.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">The second thing is the spread. Eleven tracked sales run from 2,025 square feet to 7,012, a 3.5 times difference inside one subdivision name, so no two quotes here look alike. The governing declaration was recorded in 2004 and amended in 2006 and again in 2010, which means two houses in Avalon Estates can answer to materially different versions of the rules depending on when the lot was conveyed. Common areas here double as drainage easements and recreational green space, so a share of lots back onto ground that cannot be built on. Permanent open exposure, by design rather than by luck.

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

The Housing Here

Avalon Estates housing: ranch at scale, 100 percent masonry ground floors

Two sections built across twelve years, 2005 to 2017, straddling the 2008 downturn. The stock is all brick or brick and stone ranch in the majority, with Traditional American two story plans making up the rest, and those two story houses exceed 2,400 square feet on the main level alone because the covenant says they must. Lots average 0.41 acre with a typical range of 0.34 to 0.62. Finished area runs 2,025 to 7,012 square feet against an average of 3,864 and a median of 3,727. The median sale price is $625,000, and sales in 2025 and 2026 landed between $562,500 and $867,500.

No home count is published for either section, and eleven closed sales over five years is the sample the price figures come from, so we count openings on site rather than estimating from a plat. What the covenants do publish is unusually prescriptive. Ground floors must be 100 percent masonry with no carve out at all, where Hickory Woods allows 15 percent of the first story in other materials. Every house needs a three car garage, minimum two. Lots have to be mowed twice monthly through the growing season. That level of exterior control is why the elevations read consistently even across a twelve year build.

Built
2005 to 2017 across two sections. Declaration of Covenants recorded 2004 and amended twice, in 2006 and in 2010, so the governing rules changed during the build.
Homes
Not published for either section. Eleven closed sales were tracked over five years. Lots average 0.41 acre, typically 0.34 to 0.62. Openings get counted on site.
Typical size
2,025 to 7,012 sq ft finished, averaging 3,864 with a 3,727 median. Covenant minimums are 2,000 sq ft for a one story and 2,400 for a two story.
Styles
All brick or brick and stone ranch in the majority at 64 percent of sales, with Traditional American two story making up the rest. Ground floors 100 percent masonry.
What It Means For Your Windows

Avalon Estates window profile: wide openings, deep masonry reveals, everything at one head height

This is the most consistent mounting depth of any Plainfield community we work in, and the reason is a single covenant line: the ground floor has to be 100 percent masonry, with no percentage allowance for anything else. Every ground floor opening sits in brick or brick and stone with a full reveal, deeper than most houses at this price anywhere in Hendricks County. An inside mount clears for a Z-frame shutter, a cassette roller, a cellular headrail or a 2.5 inch wood louver, with no projection brackets needed. The one thing a masonry return will do is refuse to be perfectly flat, so a shutter frame sometimes needs scribing, and that's a fitting decision rather than a product decision.

The problem here isn't height, it's width. With 64 percent of sales single level and a 2,000 square foot covenant floor, the openings run wide: picture groupings, transom heads over them, morning room bays and rear walls of glass looking onto the pond and common ground. A shutter panel much past 36 inches wide wants a divider rail or the louvers will sag over the years. A wide roller wants a center support bracket, because tube deflection shows up as a dip in the hembar right in the middle of the run. Settlement is mild, eight to twenty one years on masonry, but the widest openings still get three points.

One hundred percent masonry means the reveal is there

No carve out, no mixed materials on the first story, and the practical result is that mounting depth almost never dictates the product on the main level of an Avalon Estates house. That's rare. It means the choice comes down to what the room needs rather than what will physically fit. We still take depth at each opening, because a masonry return is not always square to the frame, and a shutter frame that needs scribing is better identified at the measure than on install day.

Wide openings need a divider rail or a center support

Ranch plans at 2,000 square feet and up carry wide picture and transom groupings, and width is where hard treatments fail slowly. A shutter panel past about 36 inches wide gets a divider rail so the louvers stay straight over the years. A wide roller gets a center support bracket, because a long tube deflects and the dip shows in the hembar. On the 7,012 square foot house those spans are genuinely one off sizes with no catalog equivalent.

Everything is reachable, which changes the motorized case

With 64 percent of sales on a single level, almost every opening in an Avalon Estates ranch can be worked from a step ladder. That removes the strongest argument for motorization, which is reach. Cordless lift and wand tilt handle the daily operation with no cord in the room, in line with where ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 pushed the category. Motorization is still worth it for a run you'd otherwise never bother closing, but it should be a want here rather than a necessity.

Permanently open ground behind a share of the lots

Avalon's ponds and common areas serve as drainage easements as well as green space, so the lots backing them face ground that cannot be built on. That exposure is permanent rather than temporary, unlike a lot that backs a field awaiting a future phase. Compass orientation isn't published for this subdivision and we won't invent one, so we read the actual sun on the actual elevation at the measure and pick openness from that.

What We Specify Here

What we specify in Avalon Estates

Two conditions drive the specification here: openings that are wide rather than tall, and a masonry reveal deep enough to accept almost anything. The third is the association, whose committee approval is mandatory for all exterior changes under a declaration that was amended in 2006 and again in 2010, so the version of the rules your lot fell under is worth checking before you plan anything on the outside. Annual fees are $300. Inside the house, no window covering rule was located. National ranges: $250 to $2,600 per window custom, $175 to $800 for shutters, $300 to $4,000 for drapery. Fabrication runs 2 to 5 weeks, and there's no reason to rush the decision.

Cordless faux wood blinds

On a single level plan where every opening is reachable, cordless lift and wand tilt do the job with no cord in the room and no battery to replace in a year. Faux wood rather than hardwood in the kitchen and baths, because those are the rooms where wood movement actually shows. The masonry reveal takes the headrail cleanly on an inside mount. Order a whole elevation at once so the slat color comes from one lot across the run.

Vertical blinds or a panel track

For the rear wall of glass onto the pond and common ground, where a rolling product would need a very long tube and a slider needs to keep working. Vanes stack to one side and clear the traffic path, and a panel track does the same thing in wider sections with fewer joints. Stack width is the disclosure: a full stack takes real wall, so we decide which side it lands on at the measure rather than on install day.

Top down bottom up cellular shades

The lots backing the drainage easements and common green look onto ground that will never be built on, which is good for the view and awkward for privacy at head height on a one level house. A top down bottom up cellular covers the lower band and leaves the sky open. DOE and ORNL testing put the saving at up to 20 percent on heating, and up to 15 percent across combined heating and cooling, measured against a bare window.

Custom drapery and top treatments

Wide picture groupings with transom heads over them are hard to close down with a hard treatment without losing the head shape. A traverse rod set above the transom, with returns back to the wall and proper overlap at the center, closes the room and keeps the architecture. Fullness and yardage get decided at the measure. Drapery runs $300 to $4,000 per window nationally, and a 7,012 square foot house is at the top of that range for a reason.

Getting Around

Guilford Township, the community pond and the Ronald Reagan Parkway corridor

Residents here describe Avalon Estates by the township and the highway rather than by a landmark, which tells you something about how it sits: Guilford Township, with access out to US 40 and Ronald Reagan Parkway. There's no street list here because none appears in a source we can retrieve, and inventing one would be worse than leaving it blank. The internal landmarks are the community pond and the common areas that double as drainage easements and recreational green space, and those are what the rear elevations actually look at. Elementary assignment sits with Plainfield Community School Corporation by address, feeding Plainfield Community Middle School and then Plainfield High School, whose teams are the Quakers.

Association Rules

Avalon Estates covenants: recorded 2004, amended 2006 and 2010

Committee approval is mandatory for all exterior changes in Avalon Estates, and the declaration behind that requirement was recorded in 2004 and then amended in 2006 and again in 2010. Two houses on the same street can sit under different versions of the rules depending on when their lot was conveyed, worth checking before you plan an awning. No window covering provision was located in any public summary, so interior treatments don't appear to be governed. The rest of the covenant set is unusually prescriptive: 2,000 square feet minimum for a one story and 2,400 for a two story, a three car garage required, ground floors 100 percent masonry, no RVs or boats in driveways, above ground pools prohibited, and mowing twice monthly in the growing season. The annual fee is $300.

Common Questions

Avalon Estates Window Treatment FAQ

Questions we hear most often from Avalon Estates homeowners.

Usually not, and we'd rather say so than sell them. Sixty four percent of closed sales here are single level, and the covenant floor for a one story house is 2,000 square feet, so the glass spreads sideways at one head height instead of climbing a two story wall. Nearly every opening is reachable from a step ladder, which removes the strongest reason to motorize. Cordless lift and wand tilt keep cords out of the room and cost nothing to run. If you do motorize a run you'd otherwise never bother closing, know that PowerView battery life is stated by Hunter Douglas at about one year.
It makes it easier, and it's the most useful covenant in the file from our side of the job. Ground floors here must be 100 percent masonry with no percentage carve out, where Hickory Woods allows 15 percent of the first story in other materials. That gives every ground floor opening a full reveal, so a Z-frame shutter, a cassette roller or a 2.5 inch louver blind can all sit inside the opening without projection brackets. The one wrinkle is that a masonry return isn't always dead flat, so a shutter frame occasionally needs scribing. We identify that at the measure, not on install day.
Because no retrievable published source lists them, and we won't invent street names to fill out a page. What is documented is that the subdivision sits in Guilford Township with access to US 40 and Ronald Reagan Parkway, that lots average 0.41 acre and typically run 0.34 to 0.62, and that the internal landmarks are the community pond and the common areas doubling as drainage easements. None of that changes the quote. We measure at your address, take three points on every opening, and price from actual finished width and finished height.
Width is the real engineering question in Avalon Estates, more than height. A shutter panel much past 36 inches wide gets a divider rail so the louvers stay straight instead of sagging over the years. A wide roller gets a center support bracket, because a long tube deflects and that shows as a dip in the hembar right where you look. On the larger houses here, up to 7,012 square feet against a 2,025 square foot floor, those spans are one off sizes with no catalog equivalent, so they get measured and fabricated on their own.
It can, and it's the reason we ask which year your lot was conveyed. The Avalon Estates declaration was recorded in 2004 and amended twice during the 2005 to 2017 build, so two neighbors can be answerable to materially different versions of the same document. What holds across all versions is that Committee approval is mandatory for all exterior changes, and an awning or exterior solar shade is an exterior change. Interior work has no located restriction. Get the approval in writing before ordering, since fabrication runs 2 to 5 weeks and nothing about that is refundable.
Yes, and that is genuinely unusual. Avalon's ponds and common areas serve as drainage easements as well as recreational green space, so the ground behind those lots cannot be built on. Unlike a lot backing a field that's waiting on a future phase, nothing is going to appear there later to break the light. Compass orientation isn't published for this subdivision and we won't guess at one, so we read the sun on your actual elevation during the measure and choose openness from that. A 3 percent fabric cuts more glare; a 5 percent keeps more of the green.
