8 thoughts on “Henke Development planning 350-acre, nature-focused community in Zionsville

  1. Just what we need, more sprawl of million+ homes (and townhomes?) well beyond the current edge of town. Nothing says Nature like Car-Dependent Suburbia!

    1. Agreed. If you build it they will come. We’re just building the wrong type of real estate right now and it’s unfortunate.

    2. Indeed. And the costs of extending utilities and other infrastructure to the area will no doubt be high.

    3. Better nice homes than cookie cutter vinyl siding homes that many builders destroy communities with…

  2. Charles wants the land to be undeveloped. Is that correct? What do you consider to be the “current edge of town”? Jason and Riley think this is the “wrong type of real estate”. I am curious what type development would you prefer?

  3. Buyers who can afford these homes would pay for green technology, but as with most of these giant developments, there will be no push to install solar or use any other technology that could reduce the carbon footprint. More run off, acres of black rooftops and asphalt, yet more pesticide-laden lawns. Way to go, Henke. Way to go, Zionsville.

  4. I don’t understand why a person would want to live in a townhome in the middle of a former cornfield. A townhome that is in easy walking or biking distance to something other than other houses in a former cornfield — sure. But why live right on top of other people in the middle of nowhere? And to pay almost a million dollars for the privilege to do it?! And Andrea S has a good point as well — this is being sold as “nature” but is still probably the exact same “high-end” yet still junk mechanical systems that require a 320 amp service to the home to run, and a bunch of spray-foam insulation and other materials that will be offgassing who-knows-what into a “tight envelope” house for who-knows-how-long.

    1. Agreed. The root issue right now is the cost of construction. Home builders simply can’t/won’t build affordable housing. The $800K townhouses sold as “nature” is all we’re getting. It’s not really sustainable construction and it’s not affordable for first time home buyers. It’s a rock in a hard place.
