Bridgewater housing: 230 homes, two associations, one lake system

The Bridgewater Housing Association describes 230 mid- to upper sized homes. That is the number it publishes, and The Reserve at Bridgewater is a separate association whose homes aren't included in it. Beyond the count, the public record is thin. No build era, no builder, no lot size and no price band appear on the association's pages or in any reachable source, which is striking for an Avon community of this size when Cedar Bend's 52 lots have a published sale range down to the dollar. We don't fill that gap with an assumption. We fill it with a tape measure at your address.

The practical effect of the missing build era is that we can't tell you in advance whether your openings carry applied wood casing with a usable jamb or drywall returns with no casing at all. Both exist in Avon in quantity: 29.6 percent of the town's housing went up 1980 to 1999 and 39.9 percent since 2010, and those two halves measure completely differently. Nor can we tell you in advance how square the openings are, since 61.9 percent of Avon's stock postdates 2000 and is mostly square while the older fraction isn't. In Bridgewater those are questions we answer at the appointment, not before it.

The lake is the window problem in Bridgewater

Start with what can be said. Bridgewater and The Reserve share common lakes, and a meaningful share of the 230 Bridgewater homes have a rear elevation facing open water. Water frontage is the hardest exposure in this trade, harder than a plain west wall, because you get the direct sun and then you get it a second time reflected off the surface at a low upward angle. That second pass is why people who install a 5 percent openness solar shade on a lake elevation come back unhappy about it. On the water side we specify 3 percent, and on side and street elevations 5 percent usually holds the view without a fight.

Everything else about Bridgewater's glass is a question rather than an answer. We work from an estimate of 18 to 28 openings for mid- to upper sized detached Avon stock, and we call it an estimate on purpose, because no plan set for this community is published anywhere. Casing depth is unknown because the build era is unknown. Squareness is unknown for the same reason. Two story great room glass and specialty shapes may be present and may not be. That's why every Bridgewater appointment starts with a three point measure and a depth check at each opening, and why we won't quote a Bridgewater house off a phone call and a photo.

What we specify on a Bridgewater lake elevation

Bridgewater splits into two jobs inside almost every house. There's the water facing side, where glare and heat gain arrive twice over and the view is the reason people bought the lot in the first place, and then there's everything else, which is an ordinary Avon interior. Specifying one product for both sides is the mistake we see most on lake lots. Indianapolis sits in Climate Zone 5A with a July average high of 85.2F and a January average low near 21F, so the lake glass has a summer problem and a winter problem, and those two don't want the same answer. We usually land on a view preserving product on the water and an insulating one elsewhere.

Bridgewater's lakes and where it sits

Bridgewater sits in Avon about 15 miles west of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and roughly 20 minutes west of downtown Indianapolis. The common lakes and the community pool are shared with The Reserve at Bridgewater, as is the community wide annual garage sale, which is the event most residents use to place themselves inside the neighborhood. Street names aren't published on the association's public pages, so none are listed here rather than printing a guess. Schools are Avon Community School Corporation by address, with middle assignment among Avon Middle School North, South and West, and Avon High School for everyone.

Two associations at Bridgewater, and why that matters before you order

Bridgewater is governed by the Bridgewater Housing Association, and The Reserve at Bridgewater is a separate association with its own documents. An Architectural Review Committee approves exterior changes on the Bridgewater side. Management is currently YourHOA, after a change from Sentry Management. The association's own site states that its pages are for Bridgewater homeowners and not for The Reserve, which is a clearer warning than most associations give and is worth taking literally: your rules depend on which side of the line your lot falls. No window covering rule appears on either association's public pages. Interior treatments usually sit outside an ARC's scope, but confirm with your own board rather than your neighbor's.
