About Northwood Haven

Local Window Treatment Experience in Northwood Haven

A new Arbor Homes house in Northwood Haven is the easiest measuring job in Danville, and that's worth stating plainly. Drywall return openings, no applied casing, generous depth and a square reveal are the opposite of what you meet a few blocks away in the Main Street Historic District, where frames 106 to 182 years old carry counterweight pockets. Counts run 16 to 24 openings on the two story plans and 11 to 15 on the ranch plans, inferred from the plan mix rather than surveyed. The plan name tells you a lot about the schedule. It tells you nothing about which way the house faces, and on a bare lot that's the variable deciding the fabric.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">Which brings up the real Northwood Haven problem. There's no canopy here and there won't be for at least a decade, while the Main Street district has street trees planted with houses built from 1844 onward. Danville essentially skipped the 1960s, building only 153 units in that whole decade against 640 in the 1970s, so the town has no middle aged canopy to fall back on either. A west facing living room here takes the full afternoon in a July that averages an 85.2F Indianapolis high, and the same glass takes low direct sun in a January averaging a 36.1F high. Two seasons, one piece of glass, and the openness number has to answer both.

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

The Housing Here

The Arbor Homes plan set in Northwood Haven

Northwood Haven is building out now to a single builder's plan set, which is the exact opposite of the 76 years and one house at a-time pattern in the Main Street district. Ten plan names appear in the new construction listings: Aspen II, Empress, Juniper, Chestnut, Norway, Cooper, Ironwood, Spruce, Ashton and Palmetto. The mix runs two story and ranch, and the split between them isn't separately quantified anywhere we could reach. Home count, lot size and square footage ranges aren't published either, because Hendricks County's parcel GIS doesn't resolve and the statewide layer has no subdivision field. Danville's median list price is $363,285 as of 2026, with no separate band published for this community.

What the era tells us is reliable. The 163 Danville units built in 2020 or later have dead square openings with drywall returns and no casing at all, and Northwood Haven is part of that 3.4 percent sliver of the town's stock. That's the easiest inside mount condition you'll find here. The caution is settlement. A house delivered in 2021 and a house delivered this year are not the same measuring job, because new construction on fresh fill keeps moving through its first two to three years. If your Northwood Haven house is in its first winter, we note that on the order and re check travel limits on anything motorized after the first heating season.

What It Means For Your Windows

New openings, bare lots, and the two things that still go wrong

Depth is not your problem in Northwood Haven. A current Arbor Homes opening gives a clean square reveal with room for a 2 inch louver blind, a cellular headrail or a Z-frame shutter fully inside the opening. What people don't expect is that an inside mount still doesn't seal. Lutron publishes a 3/4 inch per side light gap on its Roller 20/64 and a standard 1/16 inch per side factory deduction, and those figures don't shrink because the house is new. On a west facing bedroom with no tree in front of it, that gap is a visible line of light at 8pm in June. If the room has to be dark, that's an outside mount with overlap, or side channels.

The shapes are simpler here than in older Danville stock, which changes the hardware. Current Arbor elevations in central Indiana lean on rectangular units throughout with a transom over the entry rather than the half round arches that appear on the 1,380 houses built in this town between 2000 and 2019, plus a sliding patio door on most plans. We've flagged that as inference from the plan set and we confirm it on site. Practically it means most of the house can be ordered as rectangles carrying a consistent deduction, while the patio door and the entry transom are the two lines needing separate thought about stack height and reach.

The easiest inside mount in town, with one catch

Drywall returns on a 2020s Arbor Homes opening give more usable depth than the counterweight pocket frames on Main Street ever will, so a flush inside mount is the default here. It still leaves a gap. The published figures are 3/4 inch per side of light gap on a Lutron Roller 20/64 and 1/16 inch per side of factory deduction. In a nursery on the west side of a Northwood Haven lot with no canopy, that gap decides whether the room works in June.

No canopy means openness does the work

Danville built only 153 housing units in the entire 1960s, so there's no middle aged suburban canopy anywhere in town, and Northwood Haven's lots are bare farm ground. We spec 3 percent openness on west and southwest elevations to hold glare down and 5 percent on north and east, where view matters more than load. NFRC attributes 40 to 60 percent of fading to UV, so a solar shade slows what an afternoon does to flooring. It doesn't stop it.

A 2021 house and a 2026 house measure differently

New construction on fresh fill keeps settling for two to three years, so delivery year matters more here than plan name. On a house in its first winter we take the square check as a snapshot rather than a constant, keep the product choice tolerant of a small shift, and re check motorized travel limits after the first heating season. Indianapolis averages a 36.1F January high and a 20.9F low, and that cycle is what moves a new opening.

The patio door and the entry transom are the odd lines

Most of an Arbor plan is rectangles taking the same deduction. The sliding patio door isn't. It's wide, it's the room's traffic path, and stack height at the top eats view if the treatment mounts inside. We mount it outside and above the header so the stack clears the glass. The transom over the entry is the reach question, since nothing above about ten feet should end on a cord. That's a motor, a wand, or left bare.

What We Specify Here

What we specify for a new Northwood Haven build

The specification here starts with the elevation, not the plan name. Two Ironwoods on opposite sides of a Northwood Haven street have opposite sun problems, and fabric follows the sun. Because the openings are square and deep, we get to use inside mounts almost everywhere, which keeps cost down and the look tight. National price ranges: custom treatments $250 to $2,600 per window against $60 to $600 for stock, shutters $175 to $800, motorized $300 to $1,500 per window installed. Fabrication is 2 to 5 weeks, so ordering at drywall stage rather than after you move in is the difference between covered windows on day one and six weeks of bare glass. We're insured and insured, and IC 24-5-11 puts the scope and price in writing over $150.

Solar shades, openness by elevation

The core product for a bare lot subdivision. West and southwest openings get 3 percent openness, which cuts glare and holds most of the heat while keeping a usable view. North and east get 5 percent, which reads more open. On a Northwood Haven lot with no tree cover coming for at least a decade, that difference is worth specifying per room instead of buying one fabric for the house. Cordless lift or a bead chain with a tensioner, depending on the room.

Cellular shades

The two season answer in a town where an Indianapolis January averages a 36.1F high and a 20.9F low while July averages 85.2F. DOE and ORNL testing found cellular shades saved up to 20 percent of heating energy and up to 15 percent of total heating and cooling energy against a bare window. In a new Arbor Homes opening with full depth, a cellular headrail sits entirely inside the reveal. Top down bottom up earns its cost on street facing bedrooms.

Faux wood blinds on the ranch plans

For the 11 to 15 openings on a Northwood Haven ranch plan where budget matters more than fabric, a faux wood blind with a wand tilt gives a consistent 2 inch louver line across the house and doesn't move in an Indiana summer the way real wood can. Center support brackets on anything wide, and a cordless lift where there are children. It's the value line in the house, and we'd rather put the money into the west rooms.

Motorized shades with a hub and an astronomical timer

The one thing you can only do cheaply before the drywall goes up is run power, so raise it with Arbor Homes now rather than after closing. A hub with scenes and an astronomical timer drops the west shades before the afternoon load builds without anyone touching anything. On battery units, Hunter Douglas states PowerView battery life is about one year, and that recurring cost belongs on the quote instead of arriving as a surprise the following summer.

Getting Around

Northwood Haven, schools and the town around it

Northwood Haven's internal street names aren't in any source we can verify, so this page carries no street list rather than a guessed one. Schools run through Danville Community School Corporation, with the elementary assigned by address, then Danville Middle School and Danville Community High School, whose Warriors play in crimson and gray. The town covers 8.75 square miles and grew 27.0 percent between the 2020 census count of 10,559 and the July 2025 estimate of 13,415, which is the reason a community like this one is selling at all. Ellis Park and the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds sit inside the same town limits.

Common Questions

Northwood Haven Window Treatment FAQ

Questions we hear most often from Northwood Haven homeowners.

Almost everything, yes. A 2020s Arbor Homes opening is a drywall return with no applied casing, generous depth and a square reveal, which is the easiest inside mount condition in Danville and nothing like the 106 to 182 year old frames in the Main Street district. Two exceptions. The sliding patio door, where an inside mount puts the stack in the top of the glass, and any room that has to be genuinely dark, because an inside mount roller leaves 3/4 inch per side of light gap by Lutron's published figure. Those go outside the opening.
The two story plans. Across the Arbor Homes plan set here, Aspen II, Empress, Juniper, Chestnut, Norway, Cooper, Ironwood, Spruce, Ashton and Palmetto, the two story elevations run roughly 16 to 24 openings and the ranch plans 11 to 15. That's inference from the plan mix rather than a survey, so we count on site before pricing. Count isn't the whole cost anyway. One two story stair opening or a wide sliding patio door can cost more than three bedroom windows, and a ranch plan with a big rear wall of glass can outprice a two story with small units.
3 percent on west and southwest, 5 percent on north and east, as a starting point we confirm by walking the house. The bare lot condition is real here. Danville built only 153 units in the whole of the 1960s, so there's no middle aged canopy anywhere in town to soften the afternoon, and a new subdivision on former farm ground has nothing at all in front of the glass for at least a decade. NFRC attributes 40 to 60 percent of fading to UV, so a lower openness slows what the sun does to flooring and furniture without making the room dark.
If you're going motorized, yes, and raise it with Arbor Homes while the walls are still open. Running power to a header during construction costs a fraction of retrofitting it, and a hardwired shade removes the one recurring cost people don't expect. Hunter Douglas states PowerView battery life is about one year, so a house with a dozen battery units means a dozen battery changes a year, some of them at the top of a stair. If the timing has passed, battery is still a good product. We just want the running cost on the quote.
Probably settled by now, but we check rather than assume. New construction on fresh fill keeps moving for the first two to three years, and Danville's freeze and thaw cycle drives it, with Indianapolis averaging a 36.1F January high and a 20.9F January low. A 2021 house has been through five winters and should measure close to square. A house delivered this year hasn't. Either way we take a square check and a three point measure at each opening, and on motorized units we re check travel limits after a first heating season instead of setting them once and walking away.
Nothing recorded was found. No HOA document or recorded rule on street facing window coverings turned up for any named Danville subdivision, and Northwood Haven is no exception. Treat that as missing evidence rather than a guarantee, and check your closing packet, because a new Arbor Homes community usually has covenants even when they aren't published anywhere searchable. Where such a rule exists it most often governs what color a treatment shows to the street, which is a liner decision rather than a product decision.
