About Anson

Local Window Treatment Experience in Anson

Nothing in Anson predates 2005, and the 2008 crash is legible in it. Construction stalled after 2008 and resumed in 2011. KB Home withdrew from Indiana and Hansen and Horn went bankrupt during the pause, so sections platted by one builder were finished by another: Centex, Pulte, David Weekley, Pyatt Builders, BiltRite and Ryland all have work inside the same master plan. That matters at the window, because header heights and usable mounting depth follow a builder's plan specification rather than a subdivision sign. Two houses on Crowley Parkway can carry different depths behind the trim. We measure per house in Anson, and we never price from a neighbor's order.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">The second Anson variable is what sits outside the glass. Anson fronts I-65 and State Road 334, and it now abuts AllPoints at Anson, an industrial park whose Amazon building runs over 1 million sq ft with entitled capacity as high as 8.5 million. Residential edges facing that ground look onto very large pale surfaces with nothing over them, because 93.3 percent of Whitestown's housing went up in 2000 or later and the street trees are 5 to 20 years old. Indianapolis averages a July high of 85.2F, and there's nothing between that sun and a west facing Anson window. At night the exit 130 cluster and the Love's Travel Stop keep working. Two different problems, two different fabrics.

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

The Housing Here

Anson housing stock: five plats, eleven builders and a three year hole

There's no single home count for Anson, because it isn't a single plat. What is countable: 171 homes in the Neighborhoods at Anson, 255 in Clark Meadows, 81 in the Manors, 73 townhomes and 107 at Edmonds Creek at Anson North, plus more than a thousand apartment units and 180 senior living units. Lot sizes run from 0.03 to 0.04 acre under the townhome buildings up to roughly 0.08 to 0.19 acre in the Neighborhoods at Anson section. Sold prices tell the same story of range. That section averaged $398,000 across 48 sales over five years inside a $225,000 to $520,000 band, the townhomes sit near $307,000, and the Manors median is $632,000.

The building types are just as spread out. Ryland put up 73 townhomes in 12 buildings. Spectrum built 180 senior units. Flaherty and Collins and the Gene B. Glick Co. built apartments, and Redwood built The Woodlands at 452 units on 26 acres. The piece that changes a window quote most is BiltRite's work: custom homes with the garage on the alley behind, which leaves the street elevation as all living space behind a full width porch. A front load production house hides a third of its street face behind a garage door. A rear load Anson house doesn't, so it has more street facing openings to treat, not fewer, and they sit at sidewalk height.

Built
2005 onward. Construction stalled after 2008 and resumed in 2011, so pre crash and post-2011 sections carry different builders' specifications.
Homes
No single count exists. 171 at the Neighborhoods at Anson, 255 at Clark Meadows, 81 at the Manors, 73 townhomes and 107 at Edmonds Creek, plus 293 units at The blvd. at Anson, 452 at The Woodlands and 180 Spectrum senior living units.
Typical size
Not published across the master plan. Each component subdivision publishes its own range, so openings get counted on site rather than taken off a plan sheet.
Styles

What It Means For Your Windows

Anson window profile: the component decides everything

Opening counts here run from about 8 to about 30, and the spread is the component rather than the customer. An interior townhome in one of Ryland's 12 buildings sits at the bottom. A Manors house sits at the top. Depth is the second question and it splits the same way. Across Whitestown the working assumption is a drywall return with no applied casing, which leaves very little usable inside mount depth, and Anson adds a wrinkle: the pre-2008 Centex and Hansen and Horn work and the post-2011 Pulte, David Weekley and Pyatt work were specified separately. Lutron publishes a 3/4 inch per side light gap on an inside mounted Roller 20/64 plus a 1/16 inch per side factory deduction. On a shallow return you accept that gap, or you move to an outside mount with real overlap.

Squareness ranges from 21 years of settlement to under five inside one master plan name. That's unusual for this town: only 5.5 percent of Whitestown's housing predates 1980, and out of square openings are genuinely rare here. We still run a three point measure and a diagonal check, because the 2005 to 2008 Anson houses are the oldest production stock in the plan. Exposure is the part no other Boone County subdivision shares. Residential edges along AllPoints at Anson face acres of pavement and one building over 1 million sq ft, with entitlement for as much as 8.5 million and no tree line to break it. That's a glare condition and a heat condition at once, and it wants openness factor chosen deliberately.

Eight openings, or thirty

An interior unit in Townhomes at Anson can carry eight openings. A Manors at Clark Meadows house can carry thirty. Both addresses say Anson. Before we talk product we establish the component, because that number sets the schedule, the order value and whether one lift style works through the whole house. The Neighborhoods at Anson section, 171 homes on 0.08 to 0.19 acre lots, sits between the two.

Two builder specifications behind one street sign

Anson platted before 2008 and finished after 2011. KB Home left Indiana and Hansen and Horn went bankrupt in between, so a section started by one builder was completed by another. Casing depth, header height and opening width all follow the plan book a builder was using in the year of framing. We take mounting depth at the head of every opening in Anson rather than sampling one room and assuming the rest of the house agrees.

Rear load houses have no garage door to hide behind

BiltRite built custom rear load homes here with the garage on the alley. The result is a street elevation that's all living space behind a full width porch, on lots as small as 0.08 acre. Those front rooms need daytime privacy at sidewalk range without going dark, which is exactly what a tilting louver does and a fixed panel doesn't. Front load production houses in Walker Farms or Harvest Park never have this problem.

Glare off AllPoints, and no canopy coming

The Amazon building at AllPoints at Anson exceeds 1 million sq ft and the park is entitled to as much as 8.5 million. Whitestown residential ground is former row crop farmland with street trees 5 to 20 years old, so nothing is going to shade that exposure for another decade or two. On those elevations we specify a 3 percent openness solar fabric rather than 5 percent, which cuts more of the reflected light and gives up some of the view out.

What We Specify Here

What we specify in Anson, from a 73-unit townhome building to the Manors

There's no single Anson package, and anyone offering one hasn't asked which plat you're in. A townhome with eight openings on a 0.03 acre footprint, a rear load BiltRite house with an all living street face, and a Manors house with 30 openings behind a $632,000 median get three different answers. What they share is the exposure: flat former farmland along I-65, young street trees, and a million square feet of industrial building on the horizon. National pricing runs $250 to $2,600 per window on custom treatments, $175 to $800 on shutters and $1,000 to $6,000 installed on an awning. Custom lead time is 2 to 5 weeks, so an Anson house gets worked through room by room.

Solar shades, 3 percent openness

For the elevations facing AllPoints at Anson and the I-65 corridor. A 3 percent fabric holds a usable view while cutting the reflected light coming off a million square feet of building and the pavement around it. It also slows fade, and NFRC attributes 40 to 60 percent of fading damage to UV, so slowed is the honest word. On tall Anson openings we set the fabric behind a fascia and keep the roll regular, since a reverse roll and a fascia don't go together.

Interior plantation shutters, composite

The BiltRite rear load houses put living rooms on the street with no garage door in front of them. A composite louver tilts for daylight without opening the room to the sidewalk. Composite rather than hardwood on that side for one reason: those panels sit in full afternoon sun with no canopy over them, and a poly panel doesn't move with the season the way wood does. Where depth runs short, an L-frame hangs on the casing face instead of inside the opening.

Blackout roller shades with side channels

Anson sits between exits 130 and 133, and the interchange cluster, the Love's Travel Stop and the AllPoints yards keep working after dark. A room darkening fabric on its own leaves a light line down each side, because an inside mounted roller carries roughly 3/4 inch per side by Lutron's own figure. Side channels and a light blocking pocket at the head close that down. Nothing is truly total, and we say so before the order rather than after.

Exterior solar shades

The full width porches on the rear load Anson houses face the street and take direct west sun with no tree line in front of them. An exterior shade stops the heat outside the glass instead of after it's already in the room, and it makes the porch usable in July when the Indianapolis average high is 85.2F. Retractable, so the porch reads open the rest of the year and the shade isn't fighting January.

Getting Around

Anson streets, the exit 130 cluster and Zionsville schools

Anson runs along I-65 and State Road 334, which residents still call 116th Street, with New Hope Boulevard, Crowley Parkway, Central Boulevard and Solomon Harmon Way carrying traffic through it. The service cluster at the interchange includes a Love's Travel Stop, a Cracker Barrel, a 92-room Hampton Inn, the 20,000 sq ft Behavior Analysis Center for Autism and a 55,000 sq ft Revel & Underwood self storage building. School assignment is the fact residents lead with. Anson's residential sections are in Zionsville Community Schools, feeding Boone Meadow Elementary and Zionsville West Middle, while families a few miles away at Trailside, Cardinal Pointe and Edmonds Creek are in Lebanon Community Schools.

Association Rules

Associations in Anson: it depends which component you bought into

Anson has no single association, and one of its sections may have none at all. zville.com records that no homeowners association is on file for the Neighborhoods at Anson and lists no fees, which would make those 171 homes one of the very few Whitestown communities without one. Clark Meadows, the Manors and Townhomes at Anson each do have associations, run by Community Management Services and Omni Management. No recorded window covering rule was found in any Anson component, so we won't tell you one exists. Associations generally govern what shows from outside, so ask before an exterior solar shade or an awning. Indiana issues no statewide license for this trade. We're insured and insured, and IC 24-5-11 requires a written contract on residential work over $150.

Common Questions

Anson Window Treatment FAQ

Questions we hear most often from Anson homeowners.

Because Anson is a 1,700-acre master plan, not a subdivision. Townhomes at Anson holds 73 attached units on 0.03 to 0.04 acre footprints. Manors at Clark Meadows holds 81 houses at a $632,000 median. Both are Anson addresses, and they don't share an opening count, a mounting depth or a product answer. The component also tells us the build year, which matters because Anson stalled after 2008 and resumed in 2011 under different builders. Once we know the plat and the street we know roughly what we're walking into, and then we measure it anyway.
It depends on depth at the head of each opening, and Anson gives two different answers under one name. Whitestown's stock is 93.3 percent built in 2000 or later, and current practice is a drywall return with no applied casing, which leaves a shallow reveal. Where there's depth, an inside mount still carries Lutron's published 3/4 inch per side light gap on a Roller 20/64, plus a 1/16 inch per side factory deduction. Where there isn't, an outside mount with real overlap or a shutter frame on the casing face looks intentional instead of squeezed. We record depth opening by opening.
That's the one exposure no other Boone County subdivision has. The Amazon building there is over 1 million sq ft, the park is entitled to as much as 8.5 million, and the ground between is pavement with no tree line, because Whitestown's street trees are 5 to 20 years old on former farmland. We usually specify a 3 percent openness solar fabric on those elevations instead of 5 percent: it cuts more reflected light and holds less of the view. On the worst of them we'd also price an exterior shade, which stops the heat before it reaches the glass.
Close, and here's the honest limit. Anson sits between exits 130 and 133 with the Love's Travel Stop and the interchange cluster lit all night, so the complaint here is exterior light rather than morning sun. A blackout fabric handles the field of the window. What you'll still see is at the edges, because an inside mounted roller carries about 3/4 inch per side by Lutron's figures. Side channels and a light blocking pocket at the head take most of that back. We quote the channels up front, since adding them later means re measuring the whole opening.
Usually not, and that's specific to Anson. Construction stopped after 2008 and started again in 2011, with KB Home gone from Indiana and Hansen and Horn bankrupt, so Pulte, David Weekley and Pyatt Builders finished ground other companies had platted. Header heights and opening widths follow the plan book of the year a house was framed. A 2007 Centex house and a 2015 Pulte house on the same Anson street can differ by a couple of inches at the head, which is more than enough to make one order wrong for the other. We measure both.
That's fine, with one warning worth more than the saving. Fabric is dyed in runs, and a dye lot from a later order can read slightly different against the first batch in the same room, especially on a west elevation with the unbroken sun Anson gets. So we split by room and never down the middle of one. We keep the opening schedule from the first visit, which means the second order starts from recorded finished widths instead of a fresh guess. Custom lead time runs 2 to 5 weeks per order, so plan the second half a month out.
