What are homes selling for in Avalon Estates in Plainfield, Indiana?
The median sale price in Avalon Estates is $625,000 based on a MIBOR data pull covering January 1, 2021 through May 26, 2026. The earliest closed transaction in that window was July 2021, and values have climbed significantly since then — up from $422,000 at the start of the period, reflecting strong, sustained demand for this custom home neighborhood.
If you’ve had your eye on Avalon Estates — or you own a home there and have been wondering what it’s worth — the data tells a compelling story.
Over the past five years, this neighborhood has seen median sale prices climb from around $422,000 to homes closing in the $660,000–$867,500 range in the most recent sales. That’s not a blip. That’s a neighborhood with real staying power, where homeowners hold on and buyers compete when something does come available.
What makes Avalon Estates stand out isn’t hard to pin down once you look at the data. These are custom-built, all-brick homes on generous lots, with three-car garages, fireplaces, and thoughtful finishes — built to a standard that the CCR literally requires. There’s nothing cookie-cutter here.
Neighborhood Overview
Avalon Estates spans two sections in Plainfield’s Guilford Township, developed in the mid-2000s through the mid-2010s. The homes were built between 2005 and 2017, which means the neighborhood has a cohesive character — established, well-maintained, and mature — without feeling dated.
The architectural styles lean Traditional American and Ranch. About 64% of the homes that have sold are single-level ranch-style builds, which tracks with what I see across this price point in Hendricks County: buyers looking for main-level living without sacrificing square footage or quality. The two-story homes in the neighborhood are substantial, running well over 2,400 square feet on the main level alone.
Lots average about 0.41 acres — genuinely spacious by Plainfield standards, with most running between 0.34 and 0.62 acres. You’ll find real yard here: room for a covered porch, a patio, trees, and in some cases a fenced backyard that actually feels like outdoor living rather than a postage stamp.
The neighborhood includes a pond and common areas that serve as drainage easements and recreational green space. It sits in Plainfield’s Guilford Township with convenient access to US-40 and Ronald Reagan Parkway, putting everyday conveniences — Plainfield’s commercial corridor, the Plainfield Town Center area, and I-70 — within easy reach.
Market Snapshot
Here’s the full picture across all 11 closed sales within the January 1, 2021–May 26, 2026 data window:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total Closed Sales (Jan 1, 2021–May 26, 2026 pull; first close July 2021) | 11 |
| Median Sale Price | $625,000 |
| Average Sale Price | $620,082 |
| Price Range | $399,900–$867,500 |
| Average Price Per Sq Ft | $174.17 |
| Median Price Per Sq Ft | $165.13 |
| Average Days on Market | 24.3 |
| Median Days on Market | 3 |
| Average Finished Sq Ft | 3,864 |
| Median Finished Sq Ft | 3,727 |
| Sq Ft Range | 2,025–7,012 |
| Year Built Range | 2005–2017 |
| Average Lot Size | 0.41 acres (~17,800 sq ft avg) |
| Pool Prevalence | Not available in data |
| Basement Prevalence | 64% (7 of 11 homes) |
A few things worth unpacking here. The median DOM of 3 days tells you something important: when a well-priced Avalon Estates home hits the market, buyers move fast. The average DOM of 24 days is pulled upward by one listing that sat for 137 days before selling — almost certainly a pricing or condition outlier. The typical experience in this neighborhood looks much more like days, not months.
The square footage range is also worth noting. At 2,025 to 7,012 finished square feet, these are genuinely diverse homes. The CCR requires a minimum of 2,000 finished square feet for a one-story and 2,400 for a two-story, so there’s a quality floor built into the neighborhood by deed restriction. The upper end reflects custom builds with significant square footage and finish levels to match.
Home Features and Characteristics
The data on Avalon Estates homes is consistent in a few key ways.
Every home in the dataset has a three-car garage. Not most. Every one. The CCR requires a minimum two-car attached garage of at least 576 square feet, but in practice, the neighborhood has built almost universally to three-car. For anyone who has ever tried to find a home in this price range with a proper three-car garage, that’s a big deal.
Construction is all brick or brick-and-stone. The CCR was amended in 2010 to require that the ground floor exterior of all dwellings use 100% brick, stone, or masonry building materials — no vinyl or aluminum siding anywhere. It shows in the data: every home sold lists brick or brick/stone construction. This isn’t just an aesthetic preference; it’s a baseline quality standard that protects the value of every home in the neighborhood.
Fireplaces are common. Seven of the 11 sold homes have at least one fireplace, and one has two. For a neighborhood at this price point, that tracks — these homes were built for comfort and entertaining.
Lot sizes run generous. Averaging 0.41 acres with most falling between roughly 15,000 and 27,000 square feet, these aren’t zero-lot-line situations. You’ve got space, and in many cases a fenced backyard to go with it.
Basements are present in about 64% of homes. Seven of the 11 sold homes have a basement or lower level; four are slab or crawl-space construction. Ranch-style builds here sometimes go one direction or the other depending on when they were built and builder preference.
What’s Typical in Avalon Estates
If you’re trying to picture the “standard” Avalon Estates home, here’s the honest picture from the data:
- Three-car attached garage, virtually guaranteed
- All-brick or brick-and-stone exterior
- Ranch or Traditional American style
- 3–4 bedrooms, 3–4 bathrooms
- 2,000–4,500+ finished square feet (with some larger custom builds above that)
- Lot between 1/4 and 1/2 acre
- Gas fireplace in the great room
- Covered porch or patio out back
- Cement driveway (required by CCR)
- Fenced backyard on about half of homes (rear-yard only, per CCR)
These aren’t tract homes with a few upgrade packages thrown in. The CCR required committee approval for every dwelling before construction, which means the neighborhood developed with intentional quality control built into the process.
Market Direction: What the Numbers Show
Values in Avalon Estates have moved up meaningfully over the five-year period covered by this data.
In 2021, the two sales in the dataset closed at $399,900 and $444,000 — smaller homes in the 2,100–2,650 square foot range. By 2025, homes in the 2,000–4,700 square foot range were closing between $562,500 and $735,000. The two 2026 sales (through May) closed at $665,000 and $867,500 — the highest individual sale in the dataset.
The price-per-square-foot picture is more nuanced. Because the mix of home sizes has varied each year, raw median prices reflect both appreciation and the fact that larger, more expensive homes have been changing hands more recently. The average price per square foot across the full dataset is $174.17, with year-level averages ranging from $156 to $216 depending on what sold that year.
The clearest signal here: the floor has moved up. The lowest-priced sale in the dataset was $399,900 in mid-2021. There’s nothing in the 2024–2026 data even close to that price point. The most recent sales suggest a neighborhood operating solidly in the $650,000–$870,000 range for the homes that have come available.
One important context note: with 11 sales over five years, this is a neighborhood with low turnover — which is itself meaningful. When homeowners stay put, it signals satisfaction with where they are. It also means inventory is scarce, which tends to support values when something does come available.

Avalon Estates HOA Rules: What Homeowners Need to Know
Avalon Estates is governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions originally recorded in December 2004, with amendments in August 2006 and November 2010. These covenants run with the land — meaning they’re binding on every owner, not optional. Here’s what homeowners and prospective buyers need to know.
Exterior Improvements and Committee Approval
Nothing gets built, altered, or externally changed on any lot without prior written approval from the Architectural and Environmental Control Committee. That includes materials, colors, textures, landscaping changes, and anything affecting the exterior appearance of the home or lot. Submit plans and specifications to the Committee — they have 45 days to approve or deny. If they haven’t responded within 45 days, the plans are considered denied. Plan ahead and give yourself time.
Building and Construction Standards
Homes must be single-family, detached, and residential only. No multi-family use, no commercial activity on any lot.
- One-story homes: 2,000 sq ft minimum finished ground floor (not counting basements, porches, decks, patios, or garages)
- Two-story homes: 2,400 sq ft minimum finished ground floor (same exclusions)
- Exterior materials: The ground floor exterior must be 100% brick, stone, or masonry — no vinyl or aluminum siding anywhere on the structure (per the 2010 amendment)
- Garages: Every home must have a minimum two-car attached garage of at least 576 sq ft; garage materials must match the home; Committee approval required
Fencing Rules
No fences of any kind in the front yard. In the rear yard, coated chain-link fences not exceeding 48 inches in height are allowed with prior written Committee approval. Stockade or privacy fences may be allowed around an in-ground pool only, also with Committee approval. Submit your plans, get written approval, then build.
Pool and Water Feature Guidelines
Above-ground pools — including those that are even partially above ground — are not permitted. In-ground swimming pools are allowed, but they must be properly fenced for safety, and both the pool and the fence require Committee approval before installation.
Outbuildings and Storage Structures
No storage buildings or utility buildings may be constructed on any lot. This applies to detached sheds, utility structures, and similar outbuildings.
Vehicles and Parking
No on-street parking is permitted in the subdivision. Vehicles over one ton cannot be parked in the subdivision except while making a delivery. Non-operational vehicles or vehicles without current license plates must be kept inside a garage. Boats, trailers, recreational vehicles, campers, motor homes, and truck campers cannot be parked on any lot unless stored inside a garage.
Signage
During construction, one non-illuminated builder sign no larger than 3′ x 4′ is allowed. For active real estate listings, one non-illuminated for-sale sign not exceeding four square feet is permitted. No billboards, business advertising, or other signage.
Driveways and Sidewalks
All driveways must be cement and completed before occupancy. Concrete sidewalks with a minimum width of four feet are required on each side of the street; lot owners are responsible for constructing and maintaining the sidewalk along their lot, keeping it clear of snow and debris.
Pets and Animals
Common household pets are permitted as long as they’re not kept for commercial purposes and don’t become a nuisance. Dogs must be leashed or securely confined at all times. No dogs outside between 9:00 PM and 8:00 AM unless contained. No wild animals, livestock, or poultry are permitted on any lot.
Maintenance Expectations
Lots must be mowed at least twice per month during April through September. Garbage containers are only permitted in public view on collection days. No clothing or laundry may be visible from a road or neighboring lot.
HOA Assessments
The annual HOA fee was originally set at $125 per lot. Based on the most recent sales data, the current fee appears to be $300 per year, due April 1 annually. Unpaid assessments accrue interest at 18% per annum and can result in a lien on the property. Special assessments for capital improvements are possible but require a two-thirds vote of the membership.
The information in this section is based on a review of the Avalon Estates Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions — including the original Declaration recorded December 17, 2004, and amendments recorded August 17, 2006 and November 4, 2010 — as of May 26, 2026. CCRs are legal documents that can be amended over time. Homeowners should review the current recorded documents with the Hendricks County Recorder or consult with a real estate attorney for guidance on any specific situation.
Who Might Connect with This Neighborhood
Based purely on property characteristics: Avalon Estates tends to attract buyers who want main-level living (the neighborhood skews heavily ranch), substantial square footage, a three-car garage, and a real yard — all in a custom-built, brick construction community with low traffic and a quiet, established feel. The lots are large enough for outdoor living and privacy without the upkeep of acreage.
The proximity to Ronald Reagan Parkway and US-40 puts commuters within quick reach of the I-70 corridor, downtown Plainfield’s commercial district, and major employment areas to the east and west.
Nearby Conveniences
Avalon Estates sits comfortably within Plainfield’s Guilford Township, giving residents quick access to the Plainfield Town Center corridor along US-40 for everyday errands, dining, and services. Ronald Reagan Parkway provides a direct northern connection, and I-70 is accessible within a few minutes — making the neighborhood practical for anyone commuting to the broader Indianapolis metro area, the airport corridor, or points west.
A Note on This Analysis
Avalon Estates is a neighborhood with intentionally low turnover. Eleven closed sales over a five-year period isn’t a limitation of the data pull — it’s a reflection of how rarely these homes come available. Statistics based on small sample sizes should be interpreted with that in mind. If you want to understand what your specific home is worth, a conversation with me will get you much further than any spreadsheet.
