Sunblest - The Orchard
Semi-jokingly I refer to Sunblest as Fishers' historic district. As most people know, Fishers once was just a blip on the map where there was a train station, a grocery and not a lot more. One of the first suburban subdivisions to be developed in Fishers was Sunblest. It began in the mid-1970s. Homes in The Orchard, which is off of Allisonville Road south of 126th Street, is a collection of custom-designed homes that in the late 1970s was part of the Home Show, and showcased two-story, four- and five-bedroom, custom-built homes.
The Orchard and Lake Vista areas are the only two areas of Sunblest that has a homeowner association - The Orchard Civic Association. Annual dues are only $25, and it covers the maintenance of the main entrance off Allisonville Road and several neighborhood events, such as a neighborhood party, neighborhood garage sales, the printing of a neighborhood directory and newsletters.
What most people don't realize is that there are two lakes within the Orchard and Lake Vista areas of the neighborhoods. Fishing and non-motorized watercraft are allowed on boats and many homeowners have docks, rowboats, canoes and small pontoons.
Homes in The Orchard at Sunblest sell for the mid-$130,000s for a one-story, three-bedroom home to the $220,000s for a two-story home.
Sunblest There is no question that Sunblest is among the largest established neighborhoods in Fishers. With more than 1,000 houses in a variety of home sizes and styles. Sunblest generally is bounded by Allisonville Road to the east, 116th Street on the south, Lantern Road to the west and 126th Street on the north. The first homes built in Sunblest were in the late 1970s, but building continued into the 1990s. The popularity of Sunblest continues, and especially appealing to people looking for homes that provide character on large lots with mature trees and in a location that's central to where you need to go, whether it's to the grocery just around the corner, or getting on Interstate069 to commune to downtown Indianapolis or north toward Anderson of Muncie.
While the majority of Sunblest homeowners don't belong to an organized civic association, they do benefit from Fishers Town Parks and its many programs, including popular Holland Park, which is home to baseball diamonds, basketball course, soccer fields and sand volleyball courts. There are picnic tables and shelters great for a family get to heather. And playground equipment in the center of the park is a main attraction for children who want to slide, climb and soar on the swing sets.
Hollard Park is a huge appeal to the area. Walkers and runners take advantageof the 1-mile paved track around the circular park. Plus, both adult and youth leagues play soccer, football, lacross and other sports on the grassy fields.
Sunblest does not have an organized homeowner association, and therefore homeowners do not pay annual dues. Because the subdivision is part of the Town of Fishers, street plowings is done through the town, instead of private contractors.
Part of the charm of Sunblest - in addition to a diverse housing market trees and water - is that there is a wide variety of houses. A 1970s-built, three-bedroom ranch may sell in the $130,000s, while a two-story, four-bedroom house with a basement and three-car garage on a large lot or on water may sell for up o $230,000.
Homes built around Holland Park, typically tend to have been built by local builders, include Ryland Homes. Homes on the north side of Sunblest near the area west of Lantern Road and south of 126th Street, often sell from the $150,000s to the $200,000s.
