Bear Run housing stock: seven Smart Series plans from 1,460 to 2,875 square feet

M/I Homes publishes seven plans at Bear Run in both ranch and two story layouts, spanning 1,460 to 2,875 square feet, with pricing from $231,990. What the builder doesn't publish is a homesite count, and Shelby County has no publicly reachable parcel record carrying subdivision names, so nobody can tell you how many houses Bear Run will hold when it's finished. Lot size isn't published either, beyond the builder's note that a select few homesites carry water views. We'd rather say that plainly than repeat a number somebody guessed. What we can work from is the plan set, and the plan set determines the window schedule.

The spread between the smallest and largest plan is the thing to plan around. A 1,460 square foot ranch runs roughly 13 to 17 openings; a 2,875 square foot two story runs roughly 20 to 26. That's inference from the sourced square footage rather than a count of your house, and we'll count on site. At the $231,990 entry price, the difference between 13 openings and 26 is the difference between a whole house order and a phased one. National pricing puts custom shades at $250 to $2,600 per window against $60 to $600 for stock, and on repeated production sizes the gap narrows because there's no fabrication surprise waiting.

Measuring at Bear Run: repeat sizes, full sun and a 3.25 inch jamb

Standardized openings are an advantage you can actually spend. When a plan repeats its opening sizes, a whole house order runs one fabric, one dye lot and a small set of finished widths, and a later addition to the same house gets matched from the record instead of guessed against. We still take a square check and a three point measure in every room, because new construction is square within tolerance and tolerance isn't zero. The factory deduction is 1/16 inch per side on a standard order, which is invisible on a square opening and obvious on one that isn't. Bear Run should be the easy case in Shelbyville. We verify that rather than assume it.

Value engineering has a second consequence worth naming. Smart Series plans carry fewer arched, transom and palladian units than a higher tier community, and two story great room glass isn't confirmed here and is less likely than in the pricier stock elsewhere in the metro. That's good for the budget: rectangular openings mean no custom shape fabrication and no debate about whether to treat an arch at all. It also means the visual interest has to come from the treatment rather than the opening. On a run of identical rectangles across a Bear Run great room wall, fabric texture, the hembar detail and whether the headrail is covered are what the room notices.

What we specify at Bear Run

Bear Run is a value tier community and pretending otherwise wastes your money. Entry pricing at $231,990 and a $64 monthly HOA fee describe a household that wants the whole house covered well rather than three rooms covered lavishly. So the specification runs whole house first: one product family across the bedrooms and the secondary rooms, with the budget concentrated on the two or three openings that actually take the afternoon. Fourteen openings done consistently reads better than six done expensively and eight left bare. Lead time on custom runs 2 to 5 weeks, and IC 24-5-11 requires a written contract with scope, dates and total price on any residential job over $150.

Around Bear Run and William Garrett Way

Bear Run's address is 2330 William Garrett Way, Shelbyville 46176, and William Garrett Way is the street we can name here. The community's own amenities are a playground, a park shelter and maintained trails, with a disc golf course listed as coming soon, which is an unusual thing for a subdivision to build and worth knowing about if your rear elevation ends up facing it. Schools come from the builder: Thomas A. Hendricks Elementary, then Shelbyville Middle School and Shelbyville High School in Shelbyville Central Schools. That elementary assignment is what separates Bear Run from Isabelle Farms on the other side of the city, which is sourced to Coulston Elementary.

The $64 a month at Bear Run, and what it doesn't tell you

Bear Run has an association and M/I Homes publishes the fee: $64 a month. That's a verifiable number, and a fee that size usually describes a maintenance and amenity association rather than a heavy architectural control body, which fits an amenity list of a playground, a park shelter, maintained trails and a disc golf course listed as coming soon. What we could not obtain is the recorded covenant text, so we can't tell you whether the association has anything to say about street facing window covering color or reflective linings. No verifiable recorded rule on either was found anywhere in Shelbyville. Ask for the covenant packet before closing, and if a color rule does exist, a neutral liner behind whatever you choose inside satisfies most of them.
