Hendricks Regional Health YMCA January 25, 2012

I’m excited to have finally taken the leap and joined the Y. I want to let you all know that we love it and I highly recommend it. My kids hang out in the Child Watch area while I get my workout done. Then, after I’m finished I like to let them each take a turn rock climbing. Once it warms up a bit I’m sure we will be in the pool, the boys can’t wait to try the slide!

My favorite thing so far has been my fitness orientation. The fitness coach helped me make sure that I knew how to use all the machines, and saved all my settings in the FitLinx system so that I don’t have to remember how weight to use or how many reps to do. The little computer even measures my range of motion to be sure I’m doing the exercises right. I’m proud to say that after only 2 attempts, I can do ALL of the exercises assigned to me, and do all my reps :)

There is a Subway inside, as well as the pool, sauna, rock climbing wall, basketball courts, fitness center, classrooms, and locker rooms. My next goal is to attempt some Zumba classes! Who’s in?

I am a big Twitter fan, and the other day I saw a friend of mine mention that he was interviewing Realtors. I was a little taken aback that I hadn’t heard from him to help him find a home, so I spoke up, and he said:  @RealtorMichelle Ayep… looking for a place on the northside, though (otherwise I would have contacted you for sure :)

Woah, woah, woah… back the bus up right there!!! I guess I need to do a better job of making sure that EVERYONE knows that even though I live in Avon, I can still work the entire Metropolitan Indianapolis area. The main difference when I’m working outside of Hendricks County is that I use my GPS a lot more. Actually, this map is a pretty good representation of where I work!

Just for fun, let’s take a look at my stats, here’s where I work:

My 4 Active listings, 1 is in Avon, 1 in Broad Ripple, 1 in Farley, and 1 just off 37 in Perry Twp.

My 4 Pending sales: 2 in Avon, 1 in Zionsville, 1 in Carmel

Of my Closed sales:

  • Noblesville, 2
  • Carmel, 2
  • Brownsburg, 1
  • Avon, 18
  • Plainfield, 3
  • Danville, 1
  • Clayton, 1
  • Indpls/Perry Twp., 2
  • Indpls/Wayne Twp., 4
  • Indpls/Center Twp., 1
  • Mooresville, 1

Not all of my listings sell, so I have Expired listings in: Brownsburg, Avon,  Plainfield, Camby, North Salem, Indpls/Wash. Twp., Indpls/Perry Twp., Indpls/Decatur Twp., and Indpls/Wayne Twp.

Currently working with buyers looking in Beech Grove, Perry Twp, Avon, Plainfield, Mooresville, and Carmel.

So, as you can see, 1) I am not afraid to lay my cards all out on the table and 2) I work almost everywhere in the Indy Metro area. Also, I will cover this in another post, but IF I can not get to you, I can refer you to an agent that is closer to you, no matter where on the PLANET you are, so you should still call me!

Washington Township Park Expansion Offers a LOT to Those who Can Find it! September 7, 2010

Many local residents don’t even know where to find the new park expansion, but it is definitely worth seeking out. According to the Hendricks County Star:

The nearly $6 million park expansion includes 89 acres of woodlands and pastures for hiking and biking, a new 12,000-square-foot Washington Township Pavilion Center, large amphitheater, two shelters, a splash pad, playground and plenty of parking. A free grand opening celebration is scheduled for Oct. 9.

So how do you get there if nobody knows where it is? The new facilities are located about a mile beyond the current park. You will follow Broyles Road (That’s the road the runs along the back side of Washington Twp Park) through wooded areas, under and old bridge, over the river and through the woods… oh wait… sorry, follow it about a mile to the secluded recreation area. Sounds like it will be beautiful!

The pavillion will be able to handle large parties with up to 300 people, it includes a warming kitchen, fireplace, cathedral ceilings, and temporary walls if you prefer a more intimate setting.

According to a report from BusinessWeek, Avon is Indiana’s fastest growing city.

  • Number of households: 11,521
    Pct. Chg: +8% since 2008 (+73% since 2000)
    Average household income: $97,355 (+35% since 2000)
  • Avon has been growing rapidly since the 1990′s. I have seen enormous growth just since I moved here in 2005. A quick 10 mile commute to downtown Indy is one reason that Avon is so popular, and easy access to the airport makes it an ideal location for many. Award winning schools are another reason that so many families have chosen to make Avon their home.

If you are considering a move to Avon, I would love to show you around. Just give me a call!

An artist's rendering gives an idea of what the future Hendricks Regional Health YMCA will look like. It is scheduled to open in spring 2011. - Rendering provided by American Structurepoint

Each time I travel down Rockville Road in Avon, I take a peek at the fundraising thermometer at the site where they will build the Hendricks Regional Health/YMCA facility. I’m excited that this month the red bar that shows how many donations have been made looks like it is within about 90% of its goal. It has been interesting watching them prepare the site, and soon we will get to watch as they begin construction. Officials expect the building’s concrete pad and footings to be poured this month.

There was a ceremonial groundbreaking on December 3, and the project is expected to be completed in the Spring of 2011. It has also been recently announced that in addition to the YMCA and Hendricks Regional Health facilities, there will be a 10-acre public park. The park will feature open playing fields and walking paths. 

Benefits to Avon residents include a $50 YMCA programming coupon for every family living in town, a free community night once a year, free monthly teen nights, and free public meeting space. The facility’s amenities will include a two-court gymnasium, indoor lap pool, indoor water therapy and recreational pool, strength and cardio equipment, multipurpose rooms, an indoor climbing wall, cafe, outdoor sports fields, an education center, medical offices, laboratory services, occupational and physical therapy areas, and nutritional counseling.

I know that my family is very excited about the YMCA and my boys can’t wait to get into the pool! I am very happy about the big picture, of how this will help our community. Having a free community meeting room is a huge benefit, and the services that will be offered will help us all. I look forward to this facility being a focal point of the community.

Washington Township Park Expansion planned for 2009 June 2, 2009

Washington Township Park in Avon offers a lot already, including a sled hill, shelters, playground, walking trails, ponds, basketball courts, volleyball courts, and the Paw Park. I love visiting there with my family, and soon we will have even more to look forward to with the development of approximately 80 additional acres of grasslands, woods and water south of the park located at US 36 and County Road 575 East.

The project is in the planning and design stages, with current ideas including walking and biking trails, outdoor multi-use sports fields, perennial gardens, large family shelters, a splash pad, fishing piers and even an outdoor amphitheater.

The plan is to keep as much of the woods, lake and rolling pastures as it is as possible, whild also making the land useable. They plan to preserve the environment as much as possible by incorporating building that will have as little impact on the land as possible, and archetecture that blends well.

On the edge of the lake, the Township Park is planning a Community Center that can be used for both public and private events.
