Bellingham housing: 264 approved lots, two products, first occupancy in 2025

Bellingham was approved for 264 lots at Two Cent Road and State Road 135: 101 townhomes and 163 detached single family homes. Construction was expected to begin in 2024, with the first residents moving in late in the summer or the fall of 2025, which makes this some of the newest occupied housing in Johnson County. The developer was not named in the reporting, and no lot size, price band or plan square footage has been published for the community, so we don't quote any of them. What is documented is the lot count, the product split and the location on the State Road 135 corridor. Everything dimensional gets taken at your address rather than pulled off a plan sheet.

The two products behave differently once you're inside them. A rear loaded townhome puts its garage at the back, so the front elevation faces the street and the rear faces the alley court, while the two long walls are shared and carry no glass at all. A detached Bellingham house has four working elevations and usually a rear patio door. The town's elevation variety ordinance sits on top of both, which is why the plan commission's 6-0 denial of the streetscape waiver matters to a window order: it is an enforceable municipal design control rather than a marketing line, and it means the openings on the same floor plan get shuffled deliberately from house to house.

Measuring Bellingham: two window schedules inside one subdivision

Bellingham is the one Bargersville community where a single name covers two window schedules split by product type rather than by build phase. Figure roughly 8 to 14 openings on the townhome product against 18 to 26 on the detached, both inferred from the 101 and 163 product split rather than from a window survey. The townhome number is the one that surprises people. Fewer openings doesn't make it a cheaper job per room, because with party walls on two sides all of the daylight arrives through the front and the rear, so the shade on a townhome main level window is doing all the work by itself. Choose the openness factor wrong there and the room goes dim at four in the afternoon.

The good news is dimensional. Bellingham is 2024-and later construction, so the windows are current code with factory consistent dimensions, and where the walls are built 2x6 the returns run deeper than anything in the older Bargersville stock. This is the community where a three point measure is least likely to find a problem, which is exactly why we still take one: width at the head, the center and the sill, height at both sides and again down the middle. The factory then removes 1/16 inch per side from the narrowest width you gave it. On a square opening that disappears. Exposure was never determined for this plat, so we note which rear elevations face west before recommending 3 percent or 5 percent openness.

What we specify in Bellingham

Two products, two answers. On the 101 townhomes the constraint is that daylight reaches only two walls, so the main level stays light filtering and the real light control goes to bedrooms facing the alley court and its lighting. On the 163 detached houses there's a full rear elevation and a patio door to solve, with more glass overall across that 18 to 26 opening range. Since exposure was never determined for the Bellingham plat, we set openness factor after standing in the room rather than before. National ranges to plan against: custom shades $250 to $2,600 per window, shutters $175 to $800, motorized shades $300 to $1,500 installed.

Bellingham, Two Cent Road and the State Road 135 corridor

Bellingham sits at Two Cent Road and State Road 135, on the main north south corridor through Bargersville, which is also how we reach you. Johnson County parcel data doesn't yet carry interior street names for this plat, so we work from the lot and the address instead of a street list. The amenities approved with the community are a pool house, a pickleball court, 1.3 acres dedicated for a future public park, and a 12-acre parcel reserved for future multi family or commercial development. Schools are Center Grove Community School Corporation, running up through Center Grove Middle School and Center Grove High School.

Bellingham approvals, the town ordinance and your window coverings

Bellingham has an association, though the reporting never named it, and the design control that is actually documented belongs to the town rather than to the association. Bargersville ordinance requires that building elevations of similar floor plans carry different exterior elements, and when the developer sought a waiver from streetscape requirements for the rear loaded townhomes, the plan commission denied it 6-0 over duplicate housing concerns. That ordinance governs elevations, not what hangs inside your windows. No recorded covenant restricting street facing window covering color or reflective linings was found for any Bargersville subdivision, this one included. Ask your association for the current document set before you order, and we'll write the specification to match whatever it says.
