Just as in previous years, Home-A-Rama 2014 again has some great custom builders showcasing their craftsmanship. This time they are in the Brookside Neighborhood by Langston Development located in Westfield IN.
Brookside is one of Westfield’s premier neighborhoods with a variety of custom homes. Due to the variety of custom builders building in this Neighborhood you never will have a house that looks the same as your neighbors.
This year the Home-A-Rama 2014 features G&G Custom Homes, Bedrock Builders, Hoss Homes, M/I Homes – Showcase Collection, and Heartwood Custom Homes.
The Brookside neighborhood itself is a very diverse and stylish neighborhood with home prices ranging from $600,000 to $1.7 million. Just minutes away from all major conveniences like recreation, shopping, and schools. Brookside is located on 161th Street East of US 31.
Every one of the builders being showcased at the 2014 Home-A-Rama had a very unique style. I found that high vaulted ceilings and open floor plans are still popular.
Even when you have an open floor plan you still can find corners that will be quite enough for conversation or relaxing. Hideaway spaces like a hidden game room or reading /play room found itself into their design as well.
Pocket and barn doors have finally made their way back into the Midwest building style. It makes a stylish addition to a home and also will make room for other amenities. Clean lines and simple but stylish décor design helped showcase the builder’s craftsmanship.
For more information about this or other neighborhoods, the builders, or the area in general contact the Settles Team.

When you build your own home with a builder there are a few things you need to take into consideration before you start. For example, Do you just use a builder layout and style or do you plan on making changes to this plan? If you do plan on making changes, keep in mind that this might add to the building cost of the home. Making these kinds of changes would mean you are moving from a builder speck home type of arrangement to the custom built type and many times that will add time, labor, and building material cost to building your dream home. An example of making changes to the builders plans is upgrading some of the features compared to the features a builder is offering in their speck homes. Things like kitchen, flooring, countertops, bathroom, windows, and bathrooms. Anytime you make changes to builder’s speck home plans, whether inside or out, there will be a higher cost to building the home.
