Spring has sprung in Estridge neighborhoods and all of the building is calling for new sections of homesites for new homeowners. In two popular Estridge neighborhoods, new sections were recently opened with unique and exciting homesites: Centennial at 146^th Street and The Orchards at Anderson Hall.

The New Irvington Section in Centennial at 146^th Street

Beautiful, tree-lined Centennial at 146^th Street, offers three distinctive collections of 2-story and luxury ranch homes. Now this great Westfield neighborhood, minutes from shopping in Clay Terrace in the heart of Hamilton County, is breaking ground on homesites in a newly opened Irvington Section, off of Ditch Road between Centennial and Centennial at 146^th Street.

“This new section of Irvington homesites is nestled on all sides by a landscape featuring mature trees and evergreens,” says Juli Hurdle, New Home Consultant for Centennial at 146^th Street. “Two cul-de-sacs connect this small, quiet neighborhood, and most homesites afford backyard privacy. Some homesites will accommodate a 3-car garage, a first for the Irvington Collection in Centennial, while all are designed with yard space that can be easily maintained. One of the most appealing features to homeowners is the privacy this section affords. This section of homes enjoyes a private entrance and the north end of the neighborhood is bordered by a nice berm with landscaping.” Irvington Collection homes are built from $280,000.

To learn more about the new section for Irvington Collection homes, visit the Irvington Collection Model Home at 1388 Sommerville Drive in Westfield or contact either Juli Hurdle at 317.669.7089, hurdlej@estridge.net or Tasha Swetnam at 317.669.8665, swetnamt@estridge.net.

The New Orchards Section in Anderson Hall

Anderson Hall in Fishers has always offered their Orchard Collection of homes priced from $280,000 to $400,000. Now this great neighborhood has broken ground in the new Orchards Section!

“The new section has gorgeous tree-lined homesites along cul-de-sacs,” says Tisha Hinshaw, New Home Consultant for Anderson Hall. “They are very private homesites. Some sit on half an acre near large cul-de-sac green spaces, perfect  to play. Offering homeowners privacy, spacious backyards and great use of the surrounding green spaces - this new section is just beautiful!”

Conveniently located just minutes from I-69 and taking advantage of highly acclaimed Hamilton Southeastern schools, Anderson Hall is designed with gorgeous boulevard entrances highlighted with large limestone curved walls and colorful landscaping. The curving streets feature borders of trees and thoughtfully placed greenspace and lakes.
