Shady Creek Subdivision | Greenwood, IN

Posted by Shawna Ebersole | Categories: Community Info 46142

Located between US 31 and SR 135, on the south side of Fry Road, just across from Fire Station 92 is one of my favorite neighborhoods in all of Greenwood…Shady Creek Subdivision. With only 93 homes in the entire subdivision, there is not a huge amount of turnover. But when things do go on the market in here, they do tend to sell fairly quickly.

Since I started selling homes in Greenwood, back in January of 2000, there have been a total of 45 recorded home sales in Shady Creek Subdivision. Of those 45 sales, I’m flattered to have played a role in 7 of those home sales (which is 15% of all of the home sales over the last 9 years!) In 2 of those transactions I represented the buyers and in 6 of them, I was able to represent the sellers (yes…I realize 2 + 6 = 8, not 7…but in one of the transactions I was able to help both the buyer and the seller).

Homes in Shady Creek that have been well taken care of are so easy to market (in my opinion) because they have the basic things that most buyers are looking for…lots of square feet, large lots and mature trees. Throw into the mix two good school systems and a great location, close to lots of shopping and tons of restaurants and you have a no brainer.

I mention 2 school systems because Shady Creek is one of the only subdivisions I’m aware of that is actually split between two different school systems: Center Grove Schools and Greenwood Schools. Kind of unusual for a relatively small neighborhood. However, all of the homes are considered to be a part of White River Township.

The taxes in Shady Creek are also very reasonable, as well, which is another thing that makes this subdivision so appealing. Most of the new buyers in Shady Creek over the last 9 years have been first time home buyers and buyers with young families. This is such a great choice for any buyers, but particularly first time buyers because for the most part, it’s a safe choice. Home values have remained steady and buyers are able to get into a nice home for right around the $130,000 price range and they’re able to avoid the “postage stamp” lot sizes that are common in so many first time home buyers neighborhoods.

OK, enough rambling, let’s take a closer look at a few of the homes that have been selling in Shady Creek over the last few years.

To begin with, here is our most recent sale in the subdivision…which also happens to be the highest sale price in recorded Shady Creek history….yeah!!! The home was located at 534 Greenbriar Drive and actually followed the same floor plan as the model home of the subdivision. By the way, when the subdivision was first being developed, the model home was the pale yellow bi-level at the corner of Shady Creek and Fry Road.

In the slideshow below, you will see that 534 Greenbriar looks a lot like the builder’s model. But what made this home so special is that it was being sold by the original homeowner and the home had been lovingly cared for and kept up to date over the years. Some of the updates included new windows and laminate floors, an updated kitchen, fresh paint over the entire house, updated bathrooms, a gorgeous year round sunroom and a professionally landscaped backyard.

We listed this home on August 1, 2008 and by September 26, 2008 we were sitting at the closing table, handing the keys over to the new homeowner. The sellers headed to South Carolina to enjoy their retirement years closer to family and the new homeowner got an excellent home that has been very well cared for. Take a closer peak at the pictures below…
