Centennial of Brownsburg is a brand-new Epcon Communities 55+ development in Brownsburg, Hendricks County, with construction beginning in early 2026. Built by Davis Homes and Epcon Communities, the community will deliver 178 single-family homes and duplexes when complete — making it one of the newest active adult options in the Indianapolis west suburbs.
Epcon's signature product is the private garden courtyard home: a ranch-style layout where a walled outdoor courtyard anchors the living space from the back or side, creating a private outdoor room that distinguishes Epcon homes from typical HOA-covered patio homes. Nine floor plan styles ranging from 1,248 to 2,969 square feet are planned, all on single-level ranch designs.

The Epcon Courtyard Model
Epcon builds around the concept of the private garden courtyard — a walled outdoor space integrated into the home's layout rather than a generic backyard open to neighbors. For buyers who value outdoor space but don't want a large yard to maintain, the courtyard model solves a real problem: you get private outdoor living without lawn care responsibility.
Homes include customizable options such as guest suites, sitting rooms, kitchen upgrades, and zero-threshold showers. The zero-threshold shower option (walk-in, no step) is worth noting for buyers thinking about long-term aging-in-place functionality — it's a meaningful accessibility feature that many builder-grade homes charge as an expensive upgrade or don't offer at all.
Hendricks County Tax Picture
Centennial of Brownsburg sits in Hendricks County — one of the metro's lower property tax counties (~0.90%) but with the second-highest county income tax at 1.5%. Compared to Hamilton County's 1.1%, Hendricks costs a retiree drawing $60,000 from tax-deferred accounts an additional $240/year, every year. Over 15 years, that's $3,600.
For buyers whose retirement income is predominantly Social Security (fully exempt at both state and county level), this difference disappears. For buyers with significant IRA or pension income, it's worth factoring into the county comparison.
