Stonechase sits on Bloomington's far west side, centered around S. Stonechase Crossing Road off the Vernal Pike / Country Club Drive corridor and within easy reach of the SR-45/46 Bypass. The community was developed in the 2000s, largely by Beazer Homes as “Stonechase Crossing,” and today it sits alongside two closely related neighborhoods, Stonecrest and Fieldstone, forming a larger pocket of newer construction on the west side. Streets throughout the area carry a consistent stone-and-field naming theme — Stonewood Drive, Bobcat Bend, Fieldstone Boulevard, and Daffodil Court among them — and are lined with mature trees and sidewalks that make for pleasant morning walks or evening strolls.
Compared with some of Bloomington's older, closer-in neighborhoods, Stonechase has a distinctly suburban feel: newer construction, lots that tend to be larger than what you'll typically find near downtown, and a settled, established look now that most of the landscaping has matured over the roughly two decades since the community was built.
Homes in Stonechase are almost all single-family houses, most built between the late 1990s and late 2010s, so buyers can choose from a fairly wide range of ages, styles, and price points within one small area. Square footage in the neighborhood typically runs from around 1,000 square feet up to more than 5,000 square feet, with most homes offering two to five bedrooms and two to three bathrooms — comfortable for first-time buyers and growing families alike. Lot sizes tend to be modest by rural standards but generous for in-town Bloomington, generally a fraction of an acre, with fenced yards common on many properties.
Recent homes for sale in Stonechase has put active listing prices in Stonechase and the surrounding Stonecrest/Fieldstone pocket roughly in the $250,000 to $550,000 range, with recently sold homes clustering closer to the $300,000–$375,000 mark. As with any market, exact pricing shifts month to month, and I'm always happy to pull current comps for anyone seriously considering a move here.
The neighborhood is governed by the Stonechase Homeowners Association, Inc., which maintains a neighborhood playground as one of its shared amenities. As with any HOA, dues, rules, and reserve funds are worth reviewing directly with the association before you buy — I always recommend my clients read the current HOA documents as part of their due diligence.
Families house-hunting in Stonechase fall within the Monroe County Community School Corporation (MCCSC), Bloomington's public school district. Based on current MCCSC attendance patterns, Stonechase students are zoned for:
● Highland Park Elementary School
● Lora L. Batchelor Middle School
● Bloomington High School North
Highland Park Elementary, located nearby on the city's west side, has drawn solid marks from independent school-rating sites, and both Batchelor Middle School and Bloomington High School North sit within a short drive of the neighborhood. Because school attendance boundaries can be redrawn over time, I always encourage buyers to confirm current zoning directly with MCCSC before making a final decision, especially if a specific school is a priority for your family.
One of the biggest perks of Stonechase's west-side location is how much everyday shopping and dining sits just minutes away. Whitehall Crossing, one of Bloomington's largest shopping centers, anchors the area's retail scene with three interconnected shopping sections plus a mix of standalone stores and restaurants — making a quick milk-and-bread run or a full afternoon of errands equally convenient.
Nearby, the west side is also home to big-box staples like Walmart, Sam's Club, and Lowe's, so home-improvement projects and bulk grocery runs don't require crossing town. Moviegoers have the AMC Classic theater close by, and Ivy Tech Community College's Bloomington campus, also on the west side, adds a steady stream of community events, classes, and continuing-education opportunities within easy reach.
When you're in the mood to venture beyond the immediate neighborhood, downtown Bloomington's restaurant and retail scene, along with the shops and eateries around the Indiana University campus, are only a short drive away — giving Stonechase residents the best of both worlds: quiet, convenient west-side living with quick access to the city's liveliest districts whenever they want it.
Bloomington is a compact city, and that works in Stonechase's favor. Residents are typically looking at a short, straightforward drive — commonly in the range of 10 to 15 minutes, depending on traffic and time of day — to reach downtown Bloomington's courthouse square and the Indiana University campus via the west side's main corridors.
That same convenient location also puts Stonechase close to some of the region's largest employers. Cook Medical, one of Bloomington's biggest private employers, maintains a significant presence on the west side, and Ivy Tech Community College is practically around the corner. For anyone commuting to a west-side job, a downtown office, or a class on the IU campus, Stonechase offers a genuine middle ground: far enough from the bustle of campus-adjacent housing to enjoy a quieter, more residential pace, but close enough that the drive never feels like a chore. The SR-45/46 Bypass also provides an easy route to other parts of Monroe County and beyond, a plus for anyone who travels regularly for work or has family elsewhere in the region.
What school district is Stonechase in?
Stonechase is served by the Monroe County Community School Corporation (MCCSC), with current attendance zoning pointing to Highland Park Elementary, Lora L. Batchelor Middle School, and Bloomington High School North. Always confirm current boundaries with MCCSC before buying.
How much do homes in Stonechase cost?
Recent activity has placed active listings roughly between $250,000 and $550,000, with sold prices commonly falling between $300,000 and $375,000. Pricing changes with the market, so ask for current, neighborhood-specific comps before setting expectations.
Is Stonechase close to Indiana University and downtown Bloomington?
Yes. Stonechase sits on the west side of this compact city, typically a 10-to-15-minute drive from downtown Bloomington and the IU campus, depending on traffic.
Does Stonechase have an HOA?
Yes, the Stonechase Homeowners Association, Inc. oversees the community and maintains a neighborhood playground. Ask your agent for the current HOA documents, dues, and rules as part of your due diligence.
Stonechase brings together a lot of what buyers ask me for in a Bloomington home search: an established, sidewalk-lined neighborhood with a range of home sizes and price points, a reputable public-school lineup, a neighborhood playground, and easy access to shopping, dining, parks, and two of the city's biggest employment and education hubs. It's the kind of neighborhood that works whether you're raising a family, settling in after a move to the area, or simply want more room and a quieter street without giving up convenience.
Of course, every buyer's priorities are different, and the details that matter most — current listings, HOA specifics, school enrollment, or how one street compares to another — are worth walking through together. If Stonechase sounds like it could be the right fit, I'd love to help you take the next step and find the home that's right for you.
