About Bradford Place

Local Window Treatment Experience in Bradford Place

A 0.20 acre median is not a detail, it is the defining fact about window treatments in Bradford Place. Houses sit closer together than anywhere else on record in this town, which means side elevation windows look at the neighbor's wall rather than at sky. Two things follow. Those side windows deliver less usable daylight than their size suggests, because a wall ten or twelve feet away reflects a fraction of what open sky does, and they need privacy treatment that the same window in a 0.46 acre plat would not. We plan the side elevations of a Bradford Place house differently from the front and the back, every time.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">The second consequence is proportion. A two story plan on a compact 0.16 to 0.25 acre lot has a narrower footprint than the same square footage on a wide lot, so the builder buys height instead of width. Expect 16 to 22 openings rather than the 18 to 24 typical of the roomier Bargersville plats, and expect more of them to be tall and narrow. That shape has a direct consequence at the order desk, because Lutron notes that shades running a 4:1 height to width ratio take larger light gaps than the published 3/4 inch per side. Tall narrow openings are exactly where an inside mount disappoints people.

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

The Housing Here

Bradford Place housing: 90 parcels on the smallest lots in Bargersville

County records return 90 parcels whose legal description begins BRADFORD PLACE, a number that includes common area parcels inside the plat. At least two sections are recorded, with Section 2 carrying lot numbers past 90. Lot size comes straight from the ACRES attribute: a median near 0.20 acre with the bulk of residential parcels clustered between 0.16 and 0.25. That is the smallest typical lot of any Bargersville plat sampled, and it is roughly 43 percent of The Preserve at Copperleaf's 0.46 acre median. Story mix is not sourced. Small lot plats of this era in central Indiana skew heavily two story because the footprint is constrained, and we flag that as inference rather than fact.

Build era is not directly sourced either, since Johnson County's public parcel layer carries no year built attribute. What frames it is the town wide distribution: 63.7 percent of all Bargersville housing was built in 2000 or later and only 12.1 percent between 1980 and 1999, so a compact production plat with common area parcels and two recorded sections belongs to the modern band rather than the thin 1990s one. Practically, that means openings should measure square and the casing should present the standard post 2000 production profile. It does not mean you can skip the square check on Pineleigh Way, because a wide opening is a wide opening regardless of age.

What It Means For Your Windows

Tall openings, close neighbors: measuring in Bradford Place

Sixteen to twenty two openings is the working range, fewer than the roomier plats and taller per opening, which follows arithmetically from a 0.20 acre lot. Casing should be the post 2000 production profile at a nominal 3.25 inch jamb with a flat stop, enough for a flush inside mount on most cellular and 2 inch faux wood headrails. Squareness should be within tolerance for stock of this era. None of that removes the three point measure, and on the tall narrow openings that dominate here it matters more than usual, because a tall shade that is out of plumb by a sixteenth at the top reads as a wedge of light down one side.

Exposure is where Bradford Place separates from every other neighborhood in this town. Narrow lots put houses close together, so side elevation windows face a neighboring wall at short range instead of open sky. Rear elevations on interior lots face other houses too, unlike the water lots in the adjoining Waters Edge plat or the woodland lots in The Preserve at Copperleaf. Front elevations look across a street that is nearer than in the wide lot plats. So the privacy decision is not a bedroom decision here, it is a whole house decision, and the daylight decision runs the other way: you want every bit of light those side windows can pass.

Tall narrow openings take larger light gaps

Lutron publishes 3/4 inch per side on an inside mounted Roller 20/64 and notes that shades 120 inches and taller, or at a 4:1 height to width ratio, get larger gaps than that. Compact lot two story plans in Bradford Place produce exactly those proportions. If an upstairs bedroom on Oakton Circle needs real darkness, plan for an outside mount or a side channel from the start rather than discovering the gap after install.

Side windows at 0.20 acre spacing

With a median lot of 0.20 acre and most parcels between 0.16 and 0.25, a side elevation window here often looks at a neighbor's wall a dozen feet away. It passes less daylight than its size suggests and it offers less privacy than a rear window. Top down bottom up hardware answers both: cover the lower half for privacy, drop the top rail for sky light, on the same shade.

Room darkening is a mounting problem

Fabric opacity is the easy half. A blackout fabric on an inside mount still leaks at the sides, at the top over the roll, and under the hembar. Real darkness in a Pearcrest Way bedroom comes from an outside mount with generous overlap, or from side channels and a light blocking pocket at the header. We price both ways and let you decide, rather than selling blackout fabric and letting you find the edges.

Two sections, ninety parcels

Section 2 records lot numbers past 90, so Bradford Place built in at least two stages. That is a smaller spread than the four sections of Kensington Grove, but it is enough that we note the section on the order. If you add treatments to a finished lower level two years from now, the fabric record matters more than the section does, since dye lots move even when the product line does not.

What We Specify Here

What we specify in Bradford Place

Every recommendation here is shaped by the 0.20 acre median. Privacy at close range without giving up the light you have is the brief, and it points at products that split the window rather than covering all of it. We also keep an eye on child safety in a plat where compact two story plans put bedrooms upstairs: ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 is the governing product standard, and cordless or motorized lift is the direction the whole category moved. Order the side elevations and the front together so the street view reads consistently, and remember that Indiana's Home Improvement Contract Act, IC 24-5-11, requires a written contract on residential work over $150.

Zebra dual shades

Alternating sheer and solid bands let a front room on Oakleigh Parkway keep daylight while blurring the view from a street that sits closer here than in the wide lot plats. Be clear on the limit: at night, with the room lit, a sheer band shows shapes. Zebra is a daytime privacy product. For a bedroom facing a neighbor at twelve feet, pair it with something opaque or choose a different product outright.

Room darkening roller shades with side channels

The answer for upstairs bedrooms where the tall narrow proportion of a compact lot plan makes light gaps worse. Side channels close the 3/4 inch per side gap that an inside mounted roller leaves, and a light blocking pocket at the header handles the leak over the roll. It costs more than a plain inside mount and it is the only version that actually darkens a room on a bright Bradford Place morning.

Top down bottom up cellular shades

Built for the side elevations that define this plat. Raise the bottom rail for privacy from the neighbor twelve feet away, drop the top rail to pull light from the strip of sky above their wall, on one shade with one set of holes in the trim. DOE and ORNL testing found cellular shades saved up to 20 percent of heating energy against a bare window, which matters on a 20.9F January night.

Getting Around

Bradford Place streets and the plat it interlocks with

Eight streets carry the 90 parcels: Oakton Way, Oakton Circle, Pineleigh Place, Pineleigh Way, Pearcrest Way, Pearcrest Circle, Oakleigh Court and Oakleigh Parkway. Two of them, Pearcrest Way and Oakleigh Parkway, are shared with the adjoining Waters Edge plat, so the two communities are physically interwoven and residents on those streets may name either one. The naming is invented estate style rather than the real English places used in Kensington Grove. The plat sits in White River Township inside the Bargersville fire protection district, mail runs 46143, and every sampled parcel returns Center Grove Community School Corporation for its school field.

Association Rules

The Bradford Place association, and what is actually on record

Bradford Place is one of only two Bargersville communities where an owners association can be evidenced rather than assumed. County parcel records show dedicated common area parcels inside the plat, and common area has to be owned and maintained by somebody, which means an association exists here. What is not on record is its name, whether it runs an architectural review committee, and whether any covenant addresses window coverings. No recorded covenant on street facing treatments or reflective coverings was found anywhere in Bargersville. The only verifiable design control in the town is the ordinance requiring similar floor plans to carry different exterior elements, and that governs elevations rather than what hangs inside your glass. Read your own recorded covenants before choosing a color for the front rooms.

Common Questions

Bradford Place Window Treatment FAQ

Questions we hear most often from Bradford Place homeowners.

Top down bottom up hardware, in most cases. On a 0.20 acre median lot the side windows sit close to the next house, so the lower half of the glass is the privacy problem and the upper half is your daylight. A top down bottom up cellular shade covers the bottom and opens the top on the same shade, in one opening, with one set of holes in the trim. Where a room needs full privacy at night as well, we add an opaque fabric rather than relying on a sheer, because a lit room shows shapes through a sheer band after dark.
Proportion. A compact lot plan buys height instead of width, so the openings here run tall and narrow, and Lutron notes that shades at a 4:1 height to width ratio, or 120 inches and taller, take larger light gaps than the published 3/4 inch per side on an inside mounted Roller 20/64. The gap is a function of the hardware and the factory deduction of 1/16 inch per side, not a defect. If darkness matters in that room, the fix is an outside mount with overlap, or side channels and a light blocking pocket, specified before the order.
An association exists here, which is more than we can say for most of the town: county records show dedicated common area parcels inside the plat, and common area has to be owned and maintained by someone. What is not on record is the association's name, whether it runs architectural review, or whether any covenant speaks to window coverings. No recorded window covering covenant was found anywhere in Bargersville. Your closing packet governs, not our quote, so read the section on street facing treatments before you choose a color for the front of the house on Pineleigh Place.
Cordless lift or motorized, and it is worth understanding why. ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 is the governing product safety standard for this category and it pushed the industry toward products with no accessible operating cord. Inner cord non compliance is treated as a substantial product hazard under 16 CFR 1120.3. Products conform to that standard; companies are not certified to it, and anyone telling you otherwise is confused about what the document is. In a two story Bradford Place plan with bedrooms on the upper floor, we specify cordless as the default and price motorized where the opening is high or awkward.
Both plats front it, which is why this question comes up on that street and on Oakleigh Parkway. County records keep them separate: 90 parcels under BRADFORD PLACE at a 0.20 acre median, 95 parcels under WATERS EDGE with lot size not separately sampled. The distinction changes the recommendation, because Waters Edge has water lots with open rear exposure while Bradford Place interior lots face other houses at close range. Your recorded legal description settles it. If you cannot find it, we will work it out from the lot depth at the measure appointment.
Measurably, in both seasons, and we will give you the sourced version rather than a sales number. 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. Central Indiana is climate zone 5A, with an 85.2F July average high and a 20.9F January average low under the NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals, so the same product works twice a year. A tall stairwell window in one of these plans is usually the single biggest comfort win in the house.
