About Cedar Bend

Local Window Treatment Experience in Cedar Bend

Fifty two lots, seventeen years of building, roughly three houses a year. Cedar Bend went up custom from the mid-2000s through 2022, which is why a house on Cedar Bend Way that has been settling for twenty years can sit a few doors from one finished in 2022 that's still moving through its first heating seasons. Same street, opposite measuring problems. Add a size range of 2,241 to 6,705 sq ft with an average just over 4,000 finished, and you get a subdivision where the window count per house swings from about 26 to about 45. There's no Cedar Bend standard order and there never will be one.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">The other thing that separates Cedar Bend is style. Traditional American, Ranch, Craftsman, English Tudor and Contemporary are all present inside those 52 lots, which is more architectural vocabulary than any comparable Avon subdivision carries. Each of those elevations puts glass in a different place and in a different proportion, so a treatment that reads correctly on a Tudor front room looks wrong on a Contemporary fixed wall two lots down. Closed sales split roughly nine two story to six single level, so the community doesn't lean either way. What it does lean to is brick with cement composition accents outside, and that combination hands you two different reveal depths on the same house.

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

The Housing Here

Cedar Bend housing: 52 lots, five architectural vocabularies

Cedar Bend is a 52-lot subdivision built custom from the mid-2000s through 2022. That's roughly seventeen years for 52 houses, about three a year, so it filled in slowly and finished recently. Lots average about 0.51 acre, running from roughly a third of an acre up to 1.21 acres. Homes run 2,241 to 6,705 sq ft with an average just over 4,000 finished. Closed sales tracked from January 2021 through June 2025 spanned $339,310 to $662,000 with a $497,995 median. Every one of those sales had a three car garage, which the covenants require outright, and 67 percent had a basement.

Five styles in 52 lots is the defining fact here. Traditional American, Ranch, Craftsman, English Tudor and Contemporary each show up, and the story mix runs about nine two story to six single level among closed sales. Exteriors are brick throughout, frequently combined with cement composition accents. That isn't a cosmetic detail when you're measuring: the masonry sections give a deeper reveal and the cement board sections give a shallower one, and on a single Cedar Bend house you can meet both within thirty feet of each other. Four streets hold the entire subdivision, Cedar Bend Way, Cedar Bend Court, Scarlet Oak Drive and Ash Court, so the whole community is a few minutes on foot.

What It Means For Your Windows

Measuring Cedar Bend: two settling conditions on one street

Window counts here run 26 to 45, with the top end on the 6,705 sq ft houses. Because every lot was built custom, the sizes don't repeat between houses and the same plan doesn't exist twice. What does repeat is the exterior recipe: brick with cement composition accents on essentially every house. Masonry openings give a deeper reveal and more usable mounting depth, and the cement board sections give less. So we measure depth opening by opening rather than by elevation, because the front of a Cedar Bend house and the back of that same house can hand you two different answers about whether an inside mount clears.

The settling picture splits too. A mid-2000s Cedar Bend house has had close to twenty years to move and a 2022 house has had three, so we three point measure everything, and we tell newer owners plainly that an opening measured this winter may read a little differently in two years. The factory deducts 1/16 inch per side from the narrowest measured width. On a settled opening that's out of square by a quarter inch, that deduction plus the out of square difference is what shows up as light gap at the wide end, and it lands on top of the 3/4 inch per side Lutron publishes for an inside mount roller. On the 6,705 sq ft houses there's a second factor: shades over 120 inches, or past a 4-to-1 height to width ratio, get larger gaps than the published standard.

Five styles, five sets of openings

Cedar Bend holds Traditional American, Ranch, Craftsman, English Tudor and Contemporary inside 52 lots. Tudor rooms tend toward tall narrow units with leaded accent glass, Craftsman toward grouped openings with wide applied trim, Contemporary toward large fixed walls, Ranch toward long low runs. A louver size that suits one of those looks wrong on another. So we size louvers and fabric weight to the elevation, not to a house wide default pulled off a spec sheet.

Brick and cement board give two reveal depths

Every Cedar Bend house is brick, frequently with cement composition accents, and the two materials aren't detailed the same way. The masonry openings usually carry enough depth for a recessed headrail or a shutter L-frame. The cement board sections often don't, and that's where a Z-frame outside mount or a shade fixed to the wall above the header earns its keep. Assume nothing from the front elevation about what the back of the house will allow.

The 67 percent basement tier

Two thirds of Cedar Bend homes have a basement, the highest share of any Avon community we track, and on a house averaging over 4,000 finished sq ft the lower level is usually finished living space rather than storage. Those below grade openings are wide and short, set high in the wall. They also sit in the most humid air in the house from late May through late September, which makes hardwood the wrong material down there.

Half acre spacing means no borrowed shade

At about a 0.51-acre average, Cedar Bend houses sit far enough apart that a neighbor's wall screens nothing at all. Mature trees on the lots do the shading instead, so the answer changes lot by lot and even season by season. Where the canopy is intact, a 5 percent openness solar shade holds the view. Where a lot has lost a tree, drop to 3 percent on that elevation. We check the actual tree line, because no exposure study exists for this subdivision.

What We Specify Here

Products that suit Cedar Bend's split conditions

Two facts drive most Cedar Bend specifications. First, the community finished across a seventeen year span, so some houses have settled and some are still moving, and products that tolerate a small dimensional change age better than products that need a perfect fit forever. Second, 67 percent of homes have a basement and the average house runs over 4,000 finished sq ft, which means a lot of the glass is either below grade or high enough that nobody wants to reach it twice a day. Those two facts push us toward composite materials and toward motorization on the tall runs, and away from anything hardwood in a lower level.

Composite plantation shutters

Composite is the right shutter call for most of Cedar Bend. It doesn't move with humidity the way hardwood does, which matters in a 67 percent basement community and in the bathrooms of a 4,000 sq ft house through an Indiana summer. It also tolerates a 2022 opening that's still settling slightly. National installed shutter pricing runs $175 to $800 per window, so on a 45-opening Cedar Bend house we usually scope shutters to the front rooms rather than everywhere.

Roman shades

Cedar Bend's Tudor and Craftsman elevations want a soft treatment, and a flat or relaxed Roman gives you fabric and pattern without the bulk of full drapery. Two things to know first. The stack never fully clears the glass, so on a shorter opening you'll lose a few inches of daylight at the top. And fabric comes in dye lots, so if the dining room is going in next year, buy the yardage with this year's order.

Motorized and automated shades

On the 6,705 sq ft end of Cedar Bend some glass is simply out of reach, and stair walls are the usual culprit. Motorization solves it, and a scene or an astronomical timer means the shades move without anyone thinking about it. Here's the disclosure that gets skipped: Hunter Douglas states PowerView battery life is about one year, so plan on battery wands or a trickle charge. Installed motorized runs $300 to $1,500 per window on national figures.

Faux wood blinds

For the below grade level and the secondary baths, faux wood does what hardwood can't in Cedar Bend's humidity: it holds its shape. Slats tilt for privacy from a neighbor half an acre away without giving up the light, and the material shrugs off a damp lower level. Where a basement opening is wider than it is tall, we often run two blinds on a shared headrail rather than one heavy unit with a long tilt wand.

Getting Around

Cedar Bend streets and schools

Cedar Bend runs on four streets: Cedar Bend Way, Cedar Bend Court, Scarlet Oak Drive and Ash Court. It sits on Avon's southwest side near the Plainfield town line, about two miles south of Rockville Road, sharing an edge with Timber Bend. Residents on this side of Avon shop in Plainfield about as often as they shop in Avon, and they tend to describe where they live by the town boundary rather than by an Avon landmark. Schools are Avon Community School Corporation by address, with middle assignment to Avon Middle School North, South or West, and Avon High School after that.

Association Rules

Cedar Bend covenants and what they actually control

The Cedar Bend association charges a $200 annual fee and reviews exterior modifications, fencing included. The recorded rules are specific about the outside of the house: three car garages are mandatory, above ground pools are prohibited, detached sheds aren't allowed, chain link is out, front fencing is limited to decorative wood, and RV and boat parking is restricted. What we could not find anywhere is a recorded rule about window coverings. So the honest answer for Cedar Bend is that interior treatments appear to be unregulated, and if your board says otherwise, ask for the covenant section in writing. We'll spec to whatever it actually says rather than to what somebody remembers.

Common Questions

Cedar Bend Window Treatment FAQ

Questions we hear most often from Cedar Bend homeowners.

Between about 26 and 45, with the high end on the 6,705 sq ft houses. Cedar Bend averages just over 4,000 finished sq ft across 52 custom built lots, and 67 percent have a basement, so the lower level usually adds a tier of openings people forget when they estimate. Because every lot was built custom, sizes don't repeat between houses. We measure the whole house and then price it in groups, so you can start with the main level and add the basement later without paying for a second measure.
No, but you should know what's happening in the walls. New framing in a house that new moves through its first couple of heating seasons, so an opening measured this winter can read slightly differently in two years. That argues for products with tolerance built in: a Z-frame shutter fastened to the wall surface, or a shade with a little outside mount overlap, rather than a tight inside mount with nothing to spare. On a settled mid-2000s Cedar Bend house the opposite holds, and a tight inside mount is fine.
Across your own house, yes, at least in family. Across the subdivision, no. Traditional American, Ranch, Craftsman, English Tudor and Contemporary all exist inside these 52 lots, and each puts glass in different proportions. Inside one house we keep the material family and the color consistent so the view from Scarlet Oak Drive or Ash Court reads as a single house, then vary louver size and fabric weight room by room. Nothing in the Cedar Bend covenants dictates a street facing color that we could find.
The annual fee is $200, which is modest against a $497,995 median sale price. The association reviews exterior modifications including fencing, requires a three car garage on every home, prohibits above ground pools and detached sheds, bans chain link, limits front fencing to decorative wood, and restricts RV and boat parking. No recorded window covering rule was found. Interior treatments normally sit outside an architectural review committee's remit, but ask your board before ordering anything with a colored street side face.
Yes, and on the larger elevations it's usually the right answer, because the bigger Cedar Bend houses carry big glass areas and some of it isn't reachable. Two disclosures up front. Hunter Douglas states PowerView battery life is about one year, so budget for battery wands or a trickle charge setup rather than being surprised in a year. And travel limits need setting at install and occasionally resetting after a battery change. Motorized runs $300 to $1,500 per window installed on national figures, never local ones.
Yes, and we raise them before you do. 67 percent of Cedar Bend homes have a basement, the highest share of any Avon community in our data, and on a house averaging over 4,000 finished sq ft that lower level is usually finished space. Those openings are typically wide and short, set high in the wall, which rules out anything with a deep stack. Faux wood or composite handles the humidity that hardwood can't. Where the lower level is a media room, a room darkening cellular with side channels does the job.
