WEST LAFAYETTE, Indiana — A massive housing community proposed just north of West Lafayette's city limits saw the green light from the Tippecanoe County commissioners Monday, permitting zoning needed for the building of 771 single-family homes and 400 to 500 multi-family units.

The housing community, dubbed "Millbrook" by Carmel-based homebuilding group Estridge Homes, will encompass more than 335 acres. Stretching between Morehouse and Yeager roads, with a portion of land extending east of Yeager, the development would extend northward to reach County Road 500 North.

The homes' values would range between $400,000 and $1 million, Ryan Munden, a lawyer with RTS Law representing Estridge Homes, told commissioners. The project, Mundsen said, aims to serve "all kinds of demographics, such as young couples, singles, growing families and downsizing empty nesters."

The home types within the community would include larger, single-family homes as well as townhomes.

Along with hundreds of new housing units, Munden said the developer also plans to build community amenities, including pools, meeting and work spaces, a coffee shop, a gym and outdoor recreational areas.
