South Harbour in Noblesville: What It Costs, What the HOA Covers, and Who It Fits

A Morse Reservoir-area neighborhood with a clubhouse, pool, courts, and beach rights for a mandatory annual fee of about $500. Here is what homes have actually sold for and what to confirm before you buy.

The short version

South Harbour at a Glance

South Harbour is one of the more active neighborhoods in Noblesville. Thirty-nine homes sold here in the last 12 months, a healthy number for a single neighborhood, and the typical sale landed in the mid-$300s to mid-$400s.

Most homes that sold are 1,400 to about 2,500 square feet, with three or four bedrooms and two baths. A small group of sales at $550,000 and up sit well outside that range, so if a listing is priced in that zone, compare it to its own set of sales, not the neighborhood median.

South Harbour is one of three similarly named neighborhoods in the area (North, South, and West Harbour). In the MLS they have separate dues and amenity lists, so do not assume what you read about one applies to another.

Price

What Homes in South Harbour Actually Sold For

The bulk of South Harbour sales sit in a tight band: about 30 of the 39 closed between $322,500 and roughly $470,000, and half of all sales were between about $360,000 and $470,000. That makes it one of the more approachable price points in Noblesville for a neighborhood with this many amenities.

The nine sales at $550,000 and up ran as high as about $1.7 million. Homes in that group are a different product than the typical 1,400 to 2,500 square foot home, so they should be compared on their own. Because so many homes sell here, there is usually good recent comparison data for the typical home, and that helps both buyers and sellers price with more confidence.


Amenities and HOA

What the HOA Fee Covers

Recent listings show a mandatory fee of $502 per year, paid annually, managed by Trent Management. An older listing in the same neighborhood showed $490, so dues have been climbing slowly.

For that fee, listings list a clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball court, playground, park, putting green, trails, a picnic area, a nature area, and beach rights. Pool access, beach rules, and hours are set by the association, so confirm them directly.

The association’s own FAQ gives a different, older figure of $430 per year, billed annually (due March 1, late after April 1), and labels it 2020. Use the listing amount as the more recent number and confirm the current dues with the association. The FAQ also says exterior changes, including fences and sheds, need approval from the association’s architectural committee before work starts, and that Noblesville requires its own fence permit. It does not state rental rules, so ask for the covenants in writing.

Ask before you offer

Listing disclosures in South Harbour mention rental restrictions, so if you plan to rent a home out now or later, ask for the exact rules in writing before you buy. Also ask whether there is a transfer or resale fee at closing, and request the covenants and current budget.

I have not read South Harbour's recorded covenants, so I am not summarizing its architectural or use rules here. They are available from the association and are worth reading before an offer.


Recorded documents

What the Recorded Covenants Say

I read the original South Harbour declaration, recorded in 1971 by the developer, The Shorewood Corporation.

  • Dues. The declaration allows the association to levy a uniform annual charge on each lot of at least $84 per year, and the board can set it higher after weighing the association's needs. That is why current figures are much higher than the original number.
  • Leasing. I did not find a rule limiting rentals in this declaration.
  • Fences and mailboxes. Any fence or mailbox must be approved by the committee as to size, location, height and composition before installation.
  • Vehicles. Campers, trailers, boats and similar vehicles cannot be parked on any street, and trucks cannot be stored overnight on a lot unless they are out of sight of neighbors and the street.
  • Pets. Household pets are allowed if kept reasonably confined so they are not a nuisance.
  • Docks. Piers, boat docks and boathouses on Morse Reservoir need committee approval. Any permission is only a license, and boating on the reservoir is also governed by rules from the water utility and other agencies.

This summary is from a courtesy copy of the recorded documents. 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 South Harbour Fits, and Who It Doesn't

It tends to fit if you

  • Want pool, courts, clubhouse, and beach rights for a low annual fee.
  • Are shopping in the mid-$300s to mid-$400s and want Noblesville Schools.
  • Like a neighborhood with real turnover, so there is usually something to choose from.
  • Are comfortable doing some updating to a home built a while ago.

It may not fit if you

  • Want newer construction and modern finishes without doing any updating.
  • Plan to rent the home out. Ask about the rental restrictions first.
  • Want large lots and a quiet rural feel. This is a community built around shared amenities.
  • Are looking for a high-end price point. Most sales are well under $500,000.

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.
