Q: What school district is Hatch Lake subdivision in?
A: Hatch Lake is in Center township and within the Valparaiso School District.

Q: How much do homesites cost?

Q: What types of home plans are available?
A: Sunshine Homes is offering ranch, two-story and master down plans.

Q: Do all of the homes in Hatch Lake have basements?
A: Yes. Full poured basements are included in every home. We also stud out and insulate all basement walls for higher energy efficiency and add rough-in plumbing in the floor for a future bath.

Q: How long does it take to build a home?
A: Based on supply chain and labor shortages in the housing market, it is very difficult to determine the exact length of time to complete a home.  Typically we are not offering these homes for sale until they are 6 to 8 weeks to completion.

Q: Are there upgrades available?
A: Sunshine Homes includes many selections and upgrades, including granite tops, fireplaces, cabinetry, decks, laundry tubs, and many more in the spec homes.
