Local Window Treatment Experience in Cool Creek North (with Cool Creek Estates and Cool Creek Circle)

751 houses, 1,708 to 8,256 square feet

Cool Creek North records construction from 1972 to 1988, Cool Creek Estates from 1965 to 1990, and Cool Creek Circle from 1960 to 1977, which makes the Circle the oldest of the three. Together they total 751 parcels with recorded floor area. The story mix is 614 parcels at 2.0 and 122 at 1.0, with the two story figure inflated by the split level and tri level coding. Architecture is 1960s and 1970s ranch, split level and tri level, early two story colonial, and mid century contemporary with the occasional ribbon window band.

Recorded floor area runs 1,708 to 8,256 square feet and is densest between about 2,200 and 3,700. Assessed values run $110,300 to $991,300 with the middle of the distinct value distribution near $467,000. What sets this pocket apart from Brookshire two miles away is the lot: 0.29 to 3.15 acres, densest between 0.33 and 0.50, noticeably larger than Brookshire's typical parcel, and carrying 55 to 65 years of tree growth on it.

Small openings, beveled casing, and landings instead of stacks

Nothing in this stock predates the two story great room era, so there is no great room glass wall to solve. What there is instead: picture windows with flanking operables, sliding patio doors, split level landing windows, and on the contemporary elevations some 1960s ribbon windows and clerestory bands that most window covering lines were never designed around. Arched and transom heads are essentially absent, because they belong to a later generation of building than anything here.

The mounting condition is the defining issue. 1960s and 1970s jambs are frequently too shallow for a comfortable inside mount, and the original casing often has a beveled profile that further reduces the flat surface available for a bracket. This is the Carmel pocket where we most often end up mounting outside the opening or fitting shutters to a frame rather than to the jamb. Three point measurement is mandatory and real deviation should be expected after six decades of settling.

What works in the Cool Creek plats

Depth drives everything. Where an inside mount is not available, and in this pocket that is common, the right answer is a product that mounts cleanly outside the opening or that brings its own frame. Older, smaller openings also reward treatments that make a window look larger rather than smaller, which means setting headrails above the trim and letting the treatment lap the casing rather than squeezing it inside a shallow jamb.

Streets, landmarks and schools

Every street here is a tree, which is the exact opposite of Brookshire's British names two miles away: Ironwood, Red Oak, Sumac, White Ash, Tulip Poplar, Hemlock and Maplecrest, along with Cool Creek itself. The plats sit east of Range Line along the creek between Smokey Row and 151st, and residents describe the area by the creek and the Monon rather than by an arterial. The northern plat crosses the city line, which is worth knowing when anybody is checking which municipality a property sits in.
