A 1970s neighborhood built around a golf course the City of Carmel now owns. Here is what homes sell for and what to check on a house this age.
Start with the map. Filter by price, beds, and neighborhood.
Hughey Construction bought a 380-acre farm in 1967 and built Brookshire in seven phases from 1970 to 1973, with most homes finished by 1980, according to the Brookshire HOA's history. At its center is Brookshire Golf Club, a Bill Diddel design that opened in 1971. The City of Carmel bought the course and clubhouse in 2006 and opened a new clubhouse in 2019.
Brookshire is one of Carmel's busier resale neighborhoods. The MLS shows 47 closings in the last 12 months across its sections, and the median rose from $465,000 to $520,000. Homes went under contract in a median of 6 days, and 53% closed at or above list.
What you are actually buying: Carmel Clay schools, mature trees and golf-course frontage on some lots, at a median well below Carmel's newer neighborhoods. What you are giving up: modern systems on many houses. Most were built between 1972 and 1985, so budget for roof, windows, HVAC, electrical and plumbing updates, and confirm the house is on city sewer.

One name, several sections, separate HOAs.
The two largest sections by recent sales (34 and 29 closings in two years). A Brookshire Village listing described its fee as covering trash, street maintenance and snow removal.

See homes →Owned by the City of Carmel. In 2025 the city looked at moving its management to Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation; I found no plan to rezone or redevelop it.
See homes →Owned by a nonprofit and run as the Brookshire Pool Club, with membership separate from the HOA. The city sold it to the nonprofit in 2020 for 99 years of public operation.
See homes →Brookshire is served by Carmel Clay Schools. Confirm the specific school assignment for the address with the district.
Carmel Clay Schools has a referendum on the November 3, 2026 ballot at a rate not to exceed 42.74 cents per $100 of assessed value for eight years. It would replace two existing referendums totaling 24 cents, so compare 42.74 against 24, not against zero. Referendum rates sit outside the 1% cap.
On a house this age, confirm with Carmel Utilities that it is on city sewer and water before you rely on the listing.
Indiana caps homestead property tax at 1% of gross assessed value under the circuit breaker, so most owner-occupants land at or near that figure before any voter-approved referendum rate, which sits outside the cap. Rentals and second homes are capped at 2% and should be modeled separately. Hamilton County's local income tax is 1.1%, unchanged in the Indiana Department of Revenue's county rate notice effective October 1, 2026. Confirm assessments with the Hamilton County Assessor.
If you want newer construction and a neighborhood pool included in your dues, look at the Village of WestClay. For a similar-era neighborhood near Keystone, see Cool Creek. For all of Carmel, see my Carmel guide.

I'm Wes Johnston, a Realtor with Trueblood Real Estate, based in Fishers. I cover the whole Indianapolis metro, and every guide on this site is built the same way: MIBOR numbers, public sources, and the trade-offs a listing description won't mention.
My job isn't to open doors. It's to tell you what a house is actually worth, what's wrong with it, and whether it's the right move for what you're trying to do — then negotiate hard on your behalf and own the process from contract to close.
If you're two years out, that's fine. Most of my best clients started with a question, not a showing.
Fishers-based. Honest numbers, every part of the metro. Committed to your success.
