Deer Park: the Park Lane plat of the northern tier

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

HARRIS TOWNSHIP · 51 PARCELS

Deer Park's street plan is a single gesture repeated: its legal strings open "Deer Park Sub Sec One," and the listing record names its streets Park Lane — plain, Park Lane North, and Park Lane West — a plat whose interior is one lane bent around its ground in the northern tier (centroid −86.0972, 41.7581), among the Cherry Road band of plats. Its 51 parcels run at a median lot of 0.42 acre over some 24 acres, and its build-year samples in the listing record run 1988, 1991, 1992 and 1994, a turn-of-the-nineties build consistent across four houses on the three Park Lanes. Its present state is nearly finished: forty-nine parcels improved in the single-family code, two still vacant-classed — the last lots of a plat otherwise a generation settled.

No builder, proprietor or recording date for Deer Park is reachable on the open web. Named gap — Deer Park's proprietor and recording dates: settler, the St. Joseph County Recorder's plat books (Harris Township books), GAP-NBH-5's settler named for this plat.
