Cool Creek North offers a rich sense of community and local history. Built in the 1970s and 80s by developer Joseph Dawson, this neighborhood of approximately 234 families features custom homes nestled in Indiana's original forest land along Cool Creek, giving it a serene, wooded charm. Located between Main Street and Smokey Row Road, just east of Keystone Parkway, Cool Creek North is adjacent to Carey Grove Park and offers easy access to top schools, shopping, and dining along 146th Street. The neighborhood is known for its vibrant community spirit, hosting events such as a festive Fourth of July parade, end-of-season pool party, and participation in the Carmel Marathon. The privately-owned neighborhood pool, managed by the Troy/Lueking family, carries an Olympic legacy: it was once owned by gold medalist Mike Troy, and Olympian Steele Johnson started his swimming journey here. The active Cool Creek HOA maintains the neighborhood’s inviting entryways, organizes community events, and runs a monthly “most beautiful yard” contest. With its welcoming atmosphere, mature trees, and rich amenities, Cool Creek North offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and community connection.
