Pleasant Valley North: the boundary's child, built out over twenty years

HARRIS TOWNSHIP · THE RANGE LINE · 90 PARCELS

Pleasant Valley North is the wave's last full plat inside the boundary — the northern ninety parcels of a parent plat, Pleasant Valley, whose other 252 parcels stand outside the CDP in Penn and Harris townships at Osceola, as the banked closing article prints it. Its own paper, as the county file carries it, is sectioned from the start — the assessor's record for a Victor Drive parcel reads "Pleasant Valley North Section One, Lot 62," with a replat instrument, #10532 of 17 October 2003, riding on the lot — and the legal strings across the plat carry new-plat and replat references running from 2003 and 2004 forward (NP 706; NP 8680), the marks of a plat recorded in sections at the century's turn and then re-cut as it built. The builder the open web names for the community is Allen Edwin Homes, whose Indiana community directory carried Pleasant Valley North (addressed on Corwin Drive) as one of its communities, now listed permanently closed — sold out. Whether Allen Edwin was the original subdivider or the builder of its later sections, the directory record does not say. Named gap — Pleasant Valley North's proprietor of record and the recording date of Section One: settler, the St. Joseph County Recorder's plat books (Harris Township books).

Its lots are the register's most regular at the larger size: a median of half an acre (0.50), some 54 acres in all, on streets the listing record names Benamin Drive, Corwin Drive, Conover Drive, Peotone Drive, Victor Drive and Rose Place Drive. The build-out the samples show is long — houses the listing record dates 2005 and 2006 stand in the same plat as houses dated 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2024, a twenty-year completion consistent with a sectioned plat at the county's edge selling through two housing cycles. Its present state in the county file is effectively finished: eighty-nine of its ninety parcels improved, one vacant-classed.
