MI Homes unveils Montclair community plan in Noblesville with 136 lots

During the Noblesville Common Council meeting on April 15, 2025, significant discussions centered around a proposed residential development known as Montclair, which aims to address the growing housing demand in the area. The development, presented by MI Homes, will consist of approximately 136 lots on a site of about 91 acres, located north of 140 Sixth Street, between Little Chicago Road and Mill Creek Road.

The proposed community will feature a mix of ranch and two-story homes, with innovative floor plans that are new to the Noblesville market. The homes will range in size from 1,900 to over 3,800 square feet, with prices anticipated between $600,000 and $800,000. Notably, the design includes side-load and carriage-style garages, as well as flexible options for lofts and basements. Approximately 43 acres of the site will be dedicated to open space, including tree preservation areas, which constitutes about 46% of the overall site.

Council members expressed interest in the architectural elements of the homes, which will align with existing communities like Gatewood Lakes and Morse Village. The presentation included sample home architecture and interior finishes, showcasing the quality and character expected in the new homes. MI Homes has scheduled a neighborhood meeting for May 7, 2025, to gather community feedback and provide further details about the project.

In addition to the Montclair development, council members discussed rental restrictions that MI Homes has committed to in previous projects, ensuring that the community remains accessible to a diverse range of residents. Feedback from council members highlighted appreciation for the detailed information provided by MI Homes, with some expressing excitement about the green space and overall concept of the Montclair community.

As Noblesville continues to grow, developments like Montclair are crucial in meeting housing demands while maintaining community standards and aesthetics. The council's ongoing discussions and the upcoming neighborhood meeting will be pivotal in shaping the future of this residential project and its integration into the Noblesville community.
