Highland Springs housing: two named sections and no published build year

What's verified about Highland Springs is the street network and the school assignment. Everything about its age is inference, and we'd rather label that than dress it up. Hancock County's assessor data runs through Beacon and a GeoPower atlas, neither of which exposes a queryable endpoint, so there's no year built field to pull per plat, and the statewide Indiana parcel layer carries no subdivision name for this county. What we can use is the town wide distribution. Of McCordsville's 4,228 housing units, 342 went up in the 1990s and 2,651 between 2000 and 2019, which puts the overwhelming probability on Highland Springs sitting somewhere in that window rather than earlier.

That era means a specific construction detail. Post-1995 central Indiana production building sets its window units into drywall return openings with no applied casing at all. Inside mount depth is usually adequate and there's nothing outside the opening to screw a bracket into. The architectural style recorded for Highland Springs is two story production traditional, and the era typical shapes are transoms over front facing windows and breakfast bays off the kitchen. If the older section here dates to the 1990s, twenty five to thirty five years is long enough for drywall return openings to have moved off square, which is why we assume square in the newer section and verify it in the older one rather than the other way around.

What a Highland Springs measure runs into

Start with the bay. Breakfast bays and box windows are the signature shape in McCordsville's 1990s sections, and a bay is three or five separate openings that everybody describes as one window. Each panel gets its own finished width and its own factory deduction of 1/16 inch per side, so a three panel bay carries six light gaps rather than two. The center panel is usually wider than the flankers, and the flanker angles are rarely a clean 45 degrees. Get the angle wrong and the headrails collide at the corner. We measure a Highland Springs bay panel by panel and mark the corner clearance before anything is ordered.

Then the transom. Era typical front elevations in this part of McCordsville put a half round or elliptical piece over the main window, and that shape takes no standard product. Your real options are a fixed arch panel that never moves, a custom cut cellular arch, or leaving it uncovered and treating the rectangle below as the working opening. Plenty of owners on Highland Springs Drive leave it, and that's a legitimate answer as long as you know the arch is what throws a bright band across the floor at 6pm in July, when the Indianapolis average high is 85.2F. The other check is squareness, section by section, since the north end and the original run don't necessarily agree.

What we specify most in Highland Springs

The specification here follows the shapes rather than the age, because the age isn't on the record and the shapes are. A breakfast bay wants a product that handles angled corners. A half round transom wants a decision rather than a product. And a west facing room without water reflection can carry a more open weave than the reservoir lots two miles away. Nationally, shutters run $175 to $800 per window against $250 to $2,600 for custom work generally, with stock shades at $60 to $600. That last gap shows up in a bay, where a stock panel an inch off in width leaves a light gap you look at every morning. Under IC 24-5-11 any residential job over $150 gets a written contract with scope, dates and total price.

Highland Springs in the Geist half of McCordsville

Highland Springs sits in north McCordsville, in the same quadrant as the water oriented plats but without frontage on Geist Reservoir. Geist is legally in Marion, Hamilton and Hancock counties at once, and McCordsville's share is the Hancock County side: the same water, but a different county from the Fishers and Indianapolis subdivisions people picture when they hear the name. Schools here are Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation, with McCordsville Elementary feeding Mt. Vernon Middle School and Mt. Vernon High School. The verified streets are Highland Springs Drive, Highland Springs Drive North and Highland Lane. No landmark inside the plat itself is recorded, and Indiana's statewide parcel layer carries no subdivision boundary for Hancock County, so we work from the address.
