M/I Homes of Indiana Continues to Grow In Noblesville’s Residential Future
As Noblesville continues to evolve, balancing its historic charm with thoughtful residential growth, M/I Homes of Indiana is committed to the city’s future growth. With the introduction of Branson Reserve, a new single-family home community near 191st St. and Promise Rd., the builder is reinforcing its long-standing commitment to Hamilton County while responding to the growing demand for homes designed around modern, simplified living.
Branson Reserve represents more than a new neighborhood. It reflects a broader vision of how people want to live today, connected, comfortable, and rooted in communities that support long-term goals. Set in a quiet residential pocket of Noblesville, the community offers a sense of retreat while remaining just minutes from shopping, dining, recreation, and major commuter routes.
“Noblesville stands out as a community that we want to continue to grow in,” says Cassian Bernard, Area President of M/I Homes of Indiana. “It offers strong economic growth, exceptional schools, and innovative industries nearby, all while maintaining the small-town charm that makes it such a special place to live.”
Noblesville’s appeal is no secret. With a thriving downtown, expanding infrastructure, and a reputation for family-friendly living, the city has become one of Central Indiana’s most sought-after places to call home. Branson Reserve is strategically positioned to leverage those strengths while offering residents a quieter, neighborhood-focused setting.
A major draw for families is placement within the esteemed Noblesville Schools district. For buyers planning to put down roots, access to strong schools is often a deciding factor, and one that continues to drive interest in the area from both local and relocating families.
At the same time, Branson Reserve’s proximity to daily conveniences makes it well-suited for a wide range of homeowners. Whether commuting to nearby jobs or enjoying Noblesville’s parks, trails, and cultural amenities, residents benefit from a location that blends ease and livability.
At its core, Branson Reserve is designed to meet buyers where they are in life. The community will feature 147 ranch and two-story homes ranging from approximately 1,600 to more than 3,000 square feet, creating options for nearly every stage of life.
Newlyweds and first-time buyers may be drawn to efficient layouts that maximize space without unnecessary complexity. Growing families can choose larger homes that offer room to expand, while empty nesters or down sizers can opt for ranch-style living that provides main-level convenience without sacrificing quality or style.
Homes in Branson Reserve will be priced from the high-$300,000s, positioning the community as an accessible option in a competitive housing market where new construction remains in high demand. Thoughtful design, energy-efficient features, and builder-backed warranties further add to the long-term value of each home.
“At Branson Reserve, we are building homes for every stage of life,” Bernard says. “Whether buyers choose a quick move-In home or a to-be-built home, our flexible floor plans featuring options like morning rooms or lofts and energy-efficient finishes adapt to a multitude of lifestyles while providing comfort and long-term value.”
The centerpiece of Branson Reserve is the debut of the Foster model, part of M/I Homes’ Smart Series collection. The Foster will be showcased during the community’s grand opening on Feb. 19, offering prospective buyers an up-close look at a home designed to balance style, function, and everyday comfort.
The two-story Foster model features 2,847 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a two-car garage. Its bright, open-concept main level creates an inviting flow for daily life, while spaces like the flex room and morning room allow homeowners to adapt the layout to their needs, whether that means working from home, hosting guests, or carving out quiet space.
Upstairs, a spacious loft adds another layer of flexibility, ideal for play, relaxation, or shared family time. Throughout the home, thoughtful details support both connection and privacy, making it easy for households to evolve without outgrowing their space.
As part of the Smart Series, the Foster includes professionally curated design selections, stylish finishes, and energy-saving features that streamline the building process. By simplifying decisions without compromising quality, the Smart Series appeals to buyers who want a beautiful, well-designed home with less stress along the way.
Beyond the homes themselves, Branson Reserve is intentionally planned to encourage connection both within the neighborhood and beyond. Planned amenities include walking trails, a community playground, and a covered pavilion with picnic areas, all designed to bring neighbors together and promote outdoor activity.
Low HOA fees further enhance the appeal, keeping long-term ownership practical. Combined with M/I Homes’ builder-backed warranty, homeowners gain added peace of mind knowing their investment is supported well beyond move-in day.
The result is a community that feels approachable and welcoming and one where evening walks, casual conversations, and shared experiences become part of daily life.
“Branson Reserve offers the perfect balance of peaceful community living and convenient access to Noblesville’s top attractions,” Bernard says. “With walking trails, a playground, and a covered pavilion for gatherings, the community encourages outdoor activity and neighborly connection. Just a short drive away, residents can enjoy shopping and dining at Hamilton Town Center, explore the historic square’s boutiques and cafés, or catch live concerts at Ruoff Music Center.”
In addition to Branson Reserve, M/I Homes of Indiana is already looking toward the future with plans for Montelena, a low-maintenance townhome community located east of Promise Rd. on Greenfield Ave. Sales are expected to begin in February 2026, offering a new housing option for buyers seeking convenience without sacrificing design.
Montelena will feature 186 homesites with elegant two and three story townhomes starting in the mid-$300,000s, also within the Noblesville Schools district. Homes will range from approximately 1,500 to more than 2,000 square feet and include open-concept layouts, two car garages, and two to three bedrooms. Flexible options such as guest suites or private studies further enhance the appeal for professionals, down sizers, and small families alike.
Architecturally, Montelena’s contemporary farmhouse style exteriors are designed to complement Noblesville’s blend of small-town charm and suburban growth creating a cohesive look that feels both current and timeless.
Interested buyers will be encouraged to join a VIP list to receive early updates on floor plans, homesites, and upcoming grand opening events, reflecting M/I Homes’ commitment to keeping future residents informed and engaged from the start.
Since its founding in 1976, M/I Homes has built a reputation on quality, integrity, and a simple guiding principle: treat the customer right. Founded by Irving and Melvin Schottenstein, the company has fulfilled the dreams of more than 170,000 homeowners nationwide and grown into one of the country’s leading homebuilders.
In the Indianapolis metro area, M/I Homes of Indiana currently builds in 15 communities, combining whole-home quality building standards, 100 percent energy-efficiency certifications, and professional design studio expertise. Industry-leading warranty commitments, including a 15-year transferable structural warranty, further reinforce the builder’s long-term approach to homeownership.
With Branson Reserve and Montelena, M/I Homes is continuing that legacy in Noblesville — creating communities designed not just for today’s buyers, but for the lives they’re building tomorrow.
