DR Horton At a Glance 6. Proposed Entry Monument Area / Sign TAB 1  Boomerang Development – The Parks at Crossroads PROJECT DESCRIPTION Boomerang Development is excited to introduce the Parks at Crossroads residential community. The subject site consists of approximately 124 acres and is located north of and adjacent to State Road 32 and south of and adjacent to 181st Street and the site is currently zoned R-1 Residential. Boomerang has filed a request to rezone the site to the “Parks at Crossroads Planned Development Ordinance”. The Real Estate is shown on the Site Location Map included behind Tab 2. Boomerang is proud to be partnering with DR Horton, Inc., America’s largest homebuilder on this multi-generational, multi-amenity neighborhood. With DR Horton’s extensive portfolio, they are able to bring a variety of housing types and styles that have yet to be delivered in the City of Noblesville. The Parks at Crossroads will open up the northeast quadrant of the City and jump-start the area with what is believed to be Noblesville’s resident’s most favored, traditional suburban density, lot size and housing product. Boomerang Development has a long history of creating neighborhoods delivered of true value to the original purchaser and sustainable value for future residents. The Parks at Crossroads is designed to be a community asset. The existing, properly conceived Noblesville Comprehensive Plan provides for neighborhood serving commercial services in close proximity to the Parks at Crossroads. This is perceived as beneficial to this project and the future residents will appreciate and take advantage of these facilities. The Parks at Crossroads is appropriately planned such that the more densely designed areas will be constructed closest to these commercial properties. As depicted on the Preliminary Development Plan included behind Tab 3, the project will be anchored by a large, centralized amenity area with abundant green space and outdoor amenities. The project is purposely designed with a large pond along State Road 32 to complement the main entrance. Community spaces are located throughout the neighborhood with seating areas, trails and ample dog parks. A community swimming pool, sport courts, and raised bed community garden plots will be available to the residents of Parks at Crossroads. Street trees and common area landscapes will complete the transformation of this area into an eye-appealing active and creative community. There are approximately three hundred fifty-four (354) for-sale homes planned for the Parks at Crossroads. Each product type will have multiple floor plans and elevation styles to provide an architecturally varied and appealing streetscape to meet the needs of homebuyers in any stage of life. Boomerang and DR Horton have purposefully placed fifty-eight (58) large homesites in the northeast quadrant of the project with the intention that future growth can continue this style and price-point. Each of these homes will feature a side-load garage which allows for the most favorable street level elevations and these homes are anticipated to range in price from $600,000 to over $800,000. Traditional ranch and 2-story homes will be constructed on one approximately (115) homesites and these homes will offer two (2) and three (3) car garage variations and will be priced from $375,000 to $500,000. Sixty-six (66) paired ranch-style villas will be provided, targeted to the more senior members of the community and will be priced from $325,000 to $400,000. Finally, approximately one hundred and twenty (120), three-story, rear- loaded townhomes will be provided, placed adjacent to the Comprehensive Plan’s future commercial area and will be priced from $300,000 to $375,000. Every home within the Parks at Crossroads will have a masonry component, and at least two (2) types of dimensional fiber-cement siding. Ample off-street parking will be provided throughout the neighborhood, including at least two (2) driveway parking places per home. Again, with DR Horton’s vast catalogue of home types, interior enhancements and design options, the Parks at Crossroads will be uniquely positioned to satisfy the multiple generations that the project targets. Boomerang’s historic vision has been to provide sustainable and creative communities within the City of Noblesville. We look forward to presenting this request at City Council Hearing on May 13, 2025.
