About Centre Place

Local Window Treatment Experience in Centre Place

A Center Place measure is the easiest one in Sheridan and we'll say so plainly. D.R. Horton's current central-Indiana work uses drywall returns with no applied casing anywhere, so the depth behind the opening is generous and, more usefully, consistent from room to room. A cellular headrail or a shutter L-frame can sit fully recessed rather than standing proud of the wall. Across a plan running 15 to 22 openings that consistency is worth real money, because we are not solving each opening on its own terms. Compare the Thistlethwaite plats a few streets away, where the county records houses dated 1900 and no two openings agree with each other.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">The catch is age, and it cuts the other way. These houses are one to three years old and they have not finished settling. An opening we measure in Center Place this year and the same opening in 2029 are not guaranteed to match, which matters if you cover the family room now and the bedrooms later. Two things follow from that. We take a three point measure on width and on height even in a house this new, because a single reading taken in the middle is how you end up with a shade that binds. And we write the fabric and the dye lot onto the order, since the batch that made your first four shades will not exist when you add the fifth.

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

The Housing Here

Center Place housing: 41 parcels, all of them 2023 to 2025

Center Place is small and completely uniform in age, which is unusual in Sheridan. The county returns 41 built parcels under the subdivision name with years running 2023 through 2025, and a wider city level query found 33 built in 2023 and 2024 alone, so houses were still being added through 2025. D.R. Horton is the builder, confirmed in both the parcel record and in market listings, and it is the only Sheridan community with a verified builder attached to it. What the record does not carry is lot size, story mix or floor area for this section. None of that is separately published, so we take those on site rather than print a number we cannot stand behind. Sheridan's median list price is $340,000 against a median sale price of $334,900.

The era is most of the story. Sheridan built only 116 units across the whole of 1980 to 1999, 8.0% of the town, so the arched and elliptical transom vocabulary that fills subdivisions built out in the nineties barely exists anywhere here. Center Place skips it too. Current D.R. Horton elevations in this market run rectangular units with a transom over the entry and a sliding patio door, carrying materially less arched glass than the 2000s stock at Sheridan Estates. That last point is flagged in the record as an inference from builder and era rather than verified against a plan set, so shapes get confirmed at the measure. Town wide, 168 built parcels now carry a year built of 2020 or later.

What It Means For Your Windows

What a Center Place measure runs into

Depth comes first because it decides everything after it. Brand new drywall returns with no applied casing give you the cleanest inside mount condition in Sheridan, deep enough that a cellular headrail, a roller cassette or a shutter L-frame can recess fully instead of sitting on the wall face. What you do not get is a casing board to screw into. On an outside mount the mounting bracket lands on flat wall and has to find wood framing behind it, so we locate that before anyone quotes a Z-frame. Then the arithmetic: the factory takes 1/16 inch per side off your finished width, and Lutron publishes a 3/4 inch per side inside mount light gap on its Roller 20/64. On a square 2024 opening that gap is predictable, which is exactly why we will commit to it here.

Exposure is the open question. Plat orientation was not separately sourced for this section, and unlike the numbered cardinal grid downtown, where 2nd through 6th run one way and Main, Georgia, Ohio and Adams run the other, a modern plat gives no single rule to work from. What we do know is that these lots were farm ground three years ago and carry effectively no tree canopy, so nothing outside is filtering anything. Glass on the sunny side takes it raw. That pushes the openness decision toward 3% on the elevations that glare and 5% where you would rather keep the view. The sliding patio door is its own problem: a reverse roll clears a door handle but is not compatible with a fascia, so you pick one.

The cleanest depth in town, and no trim to land on

Center Place has the best inside mount condition in Sheridan: 2023 to 2025 drywall returns, generous depth, no applied casing anywhere. A full recess is realistic on cellular headrails, roller cassettes and shutter L-frames. The flip side is that an outside mount has nothing but wall face to bite. We locate the wood framing behind the return before quoting a bracket, because a bracket landing only in drywall will sag under a wide shade.

Square today is not square forever

Nothing in Center Place is older than three years and these houses have not finished settling. Today the openings should read dead square, and we still take a three point measure on every one. What we tell you up front is that a shade ordered against a 2024 opening this year is no guarantee for that same opening in 2029. Cover the house in stages and the later stage gets its own measure, not a copy of the first cut sheet.

No canopy, so the glass takes the sun raw

These 41 parcels were farm ground until 2023 and the tree cover is exactly as old as the houses. There is no century old street canopy here of the kind that runs down the original Higbee plat. With nothing outside doing any filtering, openness factor carries the whole load: 3% cuts glare hard on a bright elevation, 5% keeps more of the view and lets more heat through. Indianapolis runs a July average high of 85.2F.

The entry transom and the patio door need separate answers

Current D.R. Horton elevations here use a rectangular transom over the entry rather than the half round shapes that fill 1990s subdivisions, and Sheridan built only 116 units in that entire era anyway. Rectangular is good news, because a standard shade fits it. The sliding patio door is the harder unit. A reverse roll clears the handle and the frame but will not work behind a fascia, so cassette and roll direction get decided together.

What We Specify Here

What we specify most in Center Place

Two facts drive the specification here. The openings are deep, square and consistent, so products with the fussiest mounting requirements are genuinely available to you in a way they are not in the older half of Sheridan. And there is no canopy on these 41 parcels, so solar control is a product decision rather than something the trees handle for you. Indianapolis sits in IECC Climate Zone 5A with a January average low of 20.9F and a July average high of 85.2F, which means a house here carries a real heating load and a real cooling load inside the same year. Custom work runs $250 to $2,600 per window as a national range, shutters $175 to $800, motorized $300 to $1,500 installed. No Indianapolis installed pricing is published anywhere. Lead time is 2 to 5 weeks.

Cellular shades

The depth in a 2024 Center Place opening lets a cellular headrail recess fully, which is where this product looks right and seals best against the frame. DOE and ORNL testing found cellular shades saved up to 20% of heating energy and up to 15% of total heating and cooling energy against a bare window. In Zone 5A, with a January average low of 20.9F, that earns its keep twice a year. Cordless lift is the default specification.

Solar shades

With no tree canopy at all on lots that were farm ground in 2022, the sunny elevations of a Center Place house take unfiltered light all afternoon. Solar fabric at 3% openness cuts glare hard and still reads as a window; 5% keeps more of the view. NFRC attributes 40 to 60 percent of fading damage to UV, so this slows fade rather than stopping it. We will hold both openness factors against your own glass before you choose.

Composite plantation shutters

An L-frame needs depth to sit flush and Center Place gives you more of it than any other part of Sheridan. We push composite over hardwood in the kitchen and baths, because a 2024 house still carries construction moisture and Indiana's muggy season runs 25 May to 22 September. Louver size and divider rail height get set against the actual proportions of your opening. National shutter pricing runs $175 to $800 per window.

Panel track blinds

The sliding patio door on a current D.R. Horton plan is the one unit where a standard roller fights you. Panel track stacks to one side and clears the handle without the roll direction argument, and panels can be ordered in the same solar fabric as the roller shades elsewhere so the elevation reads as one thing. Vertical blinds do the same job for less. We size the stack to clear the frame, not the glass.

Getting Around

Center Place, the school campus and the rest of Sheridan

The parcel record returns no street names for this section, so there are none listed here: the county's street field came back populated for Maple Run, Atwater and the Higbee plats and empty for Center Place. What is on the record is the schools. Sheridan Community Schools is its own corporation, separate from Westfield Washington, Carmel Clay and Hamilton Southeastern, and the campus is the landmark this community sits closest to. The rest of town is a short drive in a place covering 2.14 square miles: the Carnegie funded Sheridan Public Library of 1912, Biddle Memorial Park, the Monon Trail corridor on the old railroad right of way, and the crossing of State Road 47 and State Road 38 that puts you about 30 miles from downtown Indianapolis.

Common Questions

Centre Place Window Treatment FAQ

Questions we hear most often from Centre Place homeowners.

Yes, and this is the best part of town for it. Every house here dates from 2023 to 2025 and D.R. Horton's current work uses drywall returns with no applied casing, so the depth behind the opening is generous and consistent from room to room. A cellular headrail, a roller cassette or a shutter L-frame will recess fully rather than standing proud of the wall. We still take a depth reading at the head of each opening type, because plan variations exist inside one builder's product line. The trade is that an outside mount has no casing board to bite, so a bracket has to find wood framing behind flat drywall.
No, order when you want the light controlled. But understand what is happening behind the wall. These houses are one to three years old and most of the settling happens in that first stretch, so the opening we measure now and the same opening in 2029 are not guaranteed to agree. Two practical consequences. We take a three point measure on width and height rather than one reading in the middle. And if you cover the family room now and the bedrooms next year, the second round gets a fresh measure and its own dye lot note, because fabric batches do not stay available.
It changes a great deal. These 41 parcels were farm ground until 2023, so the tree canopy is exactly as old as the houses, which is to say almost nothing. A few streets away the original Higbee plat carries street trees planted alongside houses the county dates to the 1860s, and those trees do real work on a summer afternoon. Here the fabric does all of it. On a bright elevation we will usually specify 3% openness, which cuts glare hard while you can still see out. Where view matters more, 5% keeps more of it. Indianapolis runs a July average high of 85.2F.
Panel track is the usual answer on a Center Place patio door, with vertical blinds as the lower cost version of the same idea. Both stack to one side and clear the door handle without the roll direction argument a roller shade brings with it. If you do want a roller there, decide roll direction before you decide on a cassette: a reverse roll gives you handle clearance, but a reverse roll and a fascia are not compatible, so you get one or the other. We size the stack so it lands on the frame rather than on the glass, which is where most patio door treatments go wrong.
Nothing recorded that we could verify. The research on Sheridan found no registered association, no architectural review committee and no rule on street facing window coverings for any subdivision in the town, this one included, so the honest answer is that the record is silent rather than that the answer is no. Check your own closing documents and any covenants recorded with the plat. Separately, the Indiana Home Improvement Contract Act requires a written contract with scope, dates and a total price on residential work over $150, and you get one from us regardless.
It is a reasonable option in a house this new, and the honest cost is not the motor. Hunter Douglas states PowerView battery life is about one year, so on a plan carrying 15 to 22 openings, motorizing broadly turns into a recurring battery job rather than a one time purchase. Hardwired power or a trickle charge changes that arithmetic where you can reach the wall. National installed pricing for motorized runs $300 to $1,500 per window and no Indianapolis figure is published anywhere. We usually motorize the openings that are genuinely hard to reach and leave the rest on a cordless lift.
