Construction at The Moore continues to move forward in Long Beach, Indiana, as framing is now underway on the first Phase 1 townhomes. With foundations completed late last year and neighborhood roads in place, the structures of the first two buildings are now rising along Moore Road.
This latest milestone marks a visible transition from groundwork to homebuilding. Walls and rooflines are taking shape on a 2-unit Retreat and a 2-unit Dunehaven, offering buyers an early look at how these thoughtfully designed townhomes will come together ahead of their scheduled completion in May 2026.
The First Townhomes Taking Shape
The January construction update video captures crews actively framing the first four homes in Phase 1. These include:
-
A 2-unit Retreat townhome
-
A 2-unit Dunehaven townhome
As exterior walls and roof structures are assembled, the scale and layout of the neighborhood are becoming increasingly clear. What began as architectural plans is now translating into defined living spaces, attached garages, and thoughtfully arranged building footprints.
Framing is one of the most exciting stages of new construction. It allows future homeowners to begin visualizing room dimensions, ceiling heights, and the overall flow of the floorplans. In the coming months, roofing, windows, and exterior finishes will follow as construction continues toward the anticipated May 2026 completion for the first homes.
Phase 1 Now Selling
16 Townhomes Now Selling Near Lake Michigan
Phase 1 of The Moore includes 16 townhomes, and interest is already building. One home has been reserved, and the remaining units are now actively selling.
This first release features a mix of Dunehaven and Retreat floorplans across several multi-unit buildings, offering buyers a range of layouts within a cohesive architectural style. With limited new construction opportunities available in Long Beach, Indiana, particularly near Lake Michigan, early reservations are key.
Current pricing for Phase 1 ranges from $559,900 to $599,900, depending on floorplan and location within the development.
Reserving a home while it is still under construction provides a significant advantage: customization. Buyers who commit early have greater flexibility to make finish selections and personalize certain design elements before construction advances too far.
In a competitive Lake Michigan corridor market that includes Michigan City, New Buffalo, Grand Beach, and Michiana Shores, opportunities to purchase new construction townhomes at this stage are limited.
Designed for Modern, Maintenance-Friendly Living
The Moore was designed to offer both architectural quality and simplified ownership. The homeowners association provides services that reduce day-to-day maintenance responsibilities while preserving the overall appearance of the neighborhood.
HOA services include:
-
Lawn maintenance
-
Spring and fall landscaping cleanup, including trimming
-
Water usage for in-ground sprinklers
-
Winterization of sprinkler systems in the fall and start-up in the spring
-
Snow removal on driveways and sidewalks when snowfall reaches two inches or more
This level of service is especially appealing to second-home buyers from Chicago or nearby suburbs who want to enjoy time near Lake Michigan without managing seasonal property upkeep.
Exterior home maintenance remains the responsibility of each homeowner, preserving individual ownership and accountability while still offering structured community support.
A Well-Designed and Thoughtfully Managed Community
The Moore is designed to maintain a cohesive, well-kept neighborhood appearance while still allowing homeowners flexibility in how they use their property. Community guidelines are in place to preserve architectural consistency and protect long-term property values.
Homes feature a unified exterior aesthetic, and the neighborhood layout is intentionally planned to keep streets clean and uncluttered. Private roads are maintained within the community, and residents receive mail at a central mailbox location for added convenience.
The community also allows homes to be used as investment properties, offering flexibility for buyers who may be purchasing a second home near Lake Michigan or exploring rental opportunities.
Maintenance services provided through the homeowners association help simplify ownership, while individual homeowners remain responsible for the care of their own exterior structures.
A Rare Opportunity in Long Beach
Located off US-12 and Moore Road in Long Beach, Indiana, The Moore sits between Michigan City and New Buffalo, just minutes from Lake Michigan beaches and approximately one hour east of Chicago. This stretch of the Lake Michigan shoreline has long been known for its quiet residential character, mature trees, and easy access to both Indiana and Michigan lake communities.
The neighborhood also borders Long Beach Country Club, one of the region’s most established golf courses. The surrounding fairways, wooded landscapes, and open green space contribute to the scenic setting that makes Long Beach a desirable place to live or own a second home. Residents of the area enjoy the relaxed atmosphere that comes with being near the lake while still having convenient access to restaurants, shops, and entertainment in nearby Michigan City and New Buffalo.
New construction in Long Beach remains limited, particularly townhomes that offer both modern design and a maintenance-friendly structure. While nearby communities such as Duneland Beach, Shoreland Hills, and Grand Beach feature established homes, opportunities to purchase newly built properties in this corridor are increasingly rare.
With construction now progressing and the first buildings rising above their foundations, The Moore represents a new chapter for residential living along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
Looking Ahead to Spring 2026
The first Phase 1 homes are scheduled for completion in May 2026. As winter transitions into spring, construction will continue with roofing, window installation, siding, and interior mechanical systems.
Each milestone brings The Moore closer to delivering modern townhomes near Lake Michigan in one of Northwest Indiana’s most desirable residential areas.
For buyers exploring new construction in Long Beach, Indiana — particularly those seeking proximity to Michigan City, New Buffalo, and the Lake Michigan shoreline — now is the time to secure a home while customization opportunities remain available.
Future construction updates will continue to document the progress of Phase 1 as The Moore takes shape throughout 2026.
