Indianapolis’s suburban growth continues to produce master-planned communities that combine new construction with lifestyle amenities — trails, pools, community centers, and walkable village cores. The best new developments are concentrated in Hamilton, Hendricks, and Johnson counties, where land availability and school quality drive builder investment. Here’s what’s new.
Centennial (Westfield)
Centennial in Westfield is one of the most ambitious master-planned developments in the Indianapolis metro — a mixed-use community that combines residential neighborhoods with commercial, retail, and entertainment components. The development’s scale is significant, with plans for thousands of homes across multiple phases alongside the Grand Park Sports Campus.
Home prices range from the low $300s for townhomes to $600,000+ for single-family homes. Builders include several of the region’s most active production builders. The Westfield Washington Schools district is a primary draw for families, and the proximity to Grand Park’s youth sports tournaments provides both community amenity and occasional event-weekend traffic.
Brookside at Westfield
Brookside continues to expand in Westfield with new phases offering homes from the mid-$300s to $500s. The community’s trail system, community pool, and neighborhood parks create the amenity package that modern buyers expect. The location along US 31 provides easy access to both Westfield’s growing commercial corridor and Carmel’s established amenities.
The Willows (Fishers)
The Willows is one of Fishers’ newer communities, offering homes from the upper $300s to $550s with the Hamilton Southeastern Schools district as the anchor. The community’s design emphasizes green space, with preserved natural areas and a trail network connecting to the broader Fishers parks system. Fishers’ investment in the downtown Nickel Plate district adds walkable urban amenity access for residents.
Heartland Crossing (Camby / Mooresville)
Heartland Crossing in the southwest metro provides one of the area’s most value-oriented master-planned options — homes from the low $200s to $400s in a community with pools, trails, and community facilities. The Mooresville and Plainfield school districts serve the area, and the location along I-70 provides commute access to both Indianapolis and the growing logistics corridor.
Westfield Amenities Driving Growth
Westfield’s investment in Grand Park, the downtown corridor improvements, and Midland Trace Trail has made the city one of the most active master-planned development areas in Indiana. Multiple new communities are in various stages of development, with price points ranging from the low $300s to over $700,000 for premium lots.
For buyers considering master-planned communities, visiting during different times of day and different days of the week provides the best sense of the community’s actual daily life. Weekend model-home visits show the amenities; weekday visits reveal the commute reality.
