Mill Grove in Noblesville: What It Costs, What the HOA Covers, and Who It Fits

A neighborhood with a wide range of home sizes, a community pool and tennis courts, and an annual HOA fee of about $520. Here is what homes have actually sold for and what to confirm before you buy.

The short version

Mill Grove at a Glance

Mill Grove is one of the busier neighborhoods in Noblesville. Twenty-two homes sold here in the last 12 months, and they cover an unusually wide range: smaller homes of about 1,400 to 1,800 square feet that sold in the $290,000s to $340,000s, and much larger homes of 3,000 to 4,400 square feet that sold from about $460,000 to $635,000.

Because the MLS lists a few homes under "Retreat at Mill Grove" (a sub-area), searching only one name misses some of them. Both are covered here.

Price

What Homes in Mill Grove Actually Sold For

The typical Mill Grove sale landed around $410,000, but that median hides two different markets. Smaller homes between 1,400 and 1,800 square feet closed from roughly $290,000 to $345,000. Larger homes from about 3,000 to 4,400 square feet closed from roughly $460,000 to $635,000. Which group a house belongs to matters more than the neighborhood name.

Because 22 homes sold in a year, there is usually decent recent comparison data for either type, but a fair price for a 1,450 square foot home and a 4,000 square foot home in Mill Grove are very far apart. Compare like with like.


Amenities and HOA

What the HOA Fee Covers

Recent listings show a mandatory fee of $520 per year, paid annually. An older listing in the neighborhood showed $400, so dues have gone up. Ardsley appears as the management company on one recent listing, but several listings leave it blank, so confirm who currently manages the association.

Listings say the fee covers the entrance, common-area maintenance and insurance, a park and playground, and professional management, and one listing also mentions snow removal. Amenities listed are a pool, playground, and tennis courts. Confirm what is and is not included, since listings are not always consistent.

Ask before you offer

Ask for the covenants and the current budget, and ask whether there is a transfer or resale fee at closing. If you plan to rent a home out, ask for the rental rules in writing. I have not read Mill Grove's recorded covenants, so I am not summarizing its architectural or use rules here.


Recorded documents

What the Recorded Covenants Say

I read the declaration recorded in 2000 by the original developer. The main points:

  • Dues. The original maximum annual assessment was $375 per lot. After that the board sets the amount each year with at least 30 days' notice. The assessment is due January 1 and late charges begin January 31, with a late fee of up to $50 plus interest.
  • One-time fee. A $150 working capital contribution applied to the first sale of each lot. I did not find a transfer fee on later resales in this document.
  • Leasing. I did not find any rule limiting rentals in the declaration, so confirm with the association whether anything was added later.
  • Fences. All fences need committee approval, are limited to six feet, generally are not allowed in front yards, and lakefront lots are limited to 42 inches.
  • Vehicles. Trucks of one ton or larger, campers, trailers, motor homes and boats may not be parked on the street, and RVs, trailers and boats must be kept inside a closed garage.
  • Pets. Household pets must be kept reasonably confined, and excessive barking is treated as a nuisance.

This summary is from a courtesy copy of the recorded declaration. Later amendments and current association rules were not reviewed, and any of these provisions may have been changed, so confirm with the association before you buy.


Fit

Who Mill Grove Fits, and Who It Doesn't

It tends to fit if you

  • Want a pool and tennis courts for a modest annual fee.
  • Are shopping anywhere from the $300s to the mid-$600s and want options across home sizes.
  • Want Noblesville Schools in an established neighborhood with regular turnover.
  • Are comfortable with an HOA that has covenants and an annual fee.

It may not fit if you

  • Want to know exactly what the HOA covers without asking. Listings here are not fully consistent.
  • Need a very large lot or a rural feel.
  • Want only newer construction and one consistent look. Home sizes and styles vary widely.
  • Plan to rent the home out. Confirm the rules before you buy.

A note from Ryan: I put this guide together from MLS sales and listing data, because most neighborhood pages online are auto-generated and skip the part that matters: the real numbers and what to confirm. If I got something wrong or out of date, tell me and I will fix it.
