Bay Colony’s lakeside elegance and prominent traditional architecture began taking shape in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Since then, the neighborhood has seen impressive growth and enduring appeal and location on the west shore of serene Eagle Creek. Situated near the Hendricks and Marion county line and just south of the renowned Pete Dye–designed Eagle Creek Golf Club, Bay Colony combines scenic surroundings Indianapolis’ big city buzz.
Welcome to Bay Colony — nestled along the west shore of Eagle Creek Reservoir, surrounded by natural beauty and just minutes from everything our home city of Indianapolis has to offer. It is a rare combination: quiet, wooded streets and water views on one side, and the restaurants, schools, and conveniences of a major city on the other.
My wife Emily and I have called this neighborhood home since 2018, and in that time we have watched it grow and change for the better — new families putting down roots, longtime residents continuing to invest in their homes, and a sense of pride that shows up in the small details. We chose Bay Colony as our forever home, and we are raising our family here. The friendships, the front-yard conversations, and the look-out-for-each-other instinct are not things you can manufacture; they happen because of the people who choose to live here.
-Evan Manship,
Bay Colony Home Owners Association, President
