Port Harbour housing: 32 homes across 15 construction years

The recorded years run 1980, 1982, then 1984 through 1988, then 1992 through 1997, then 2004 and 2006. Fifteen distinct years across thirty two houses means there was no production plan set here either, which is the finding across every Cicero subdivision in the county record. Architecture follows the two waves: 1980s ranch and split level first, 1990s two story traditional second, with lake facing custom on the frontage lots in both. 19 parcels are recorded at 1.0 story and 11 at 2.0, so Port Harbour is majority single story, and its 59 percent single story share sits right on the town wide figure of 59.5 percent.

Recorded residential floor area runs 1,458 to 4,136 square feet. That ceiling is roughly half Morse Overlook's and about half Stillwater Cove's 8,138, so this is modest stock by reservoir standards even though it sits on the water. No separate price band was isolated for a plat this small; the closest published comparison for early-1980s Cicero reservoir stock is Morse Landing, where gross assessed values run $198,000 to $1,575,800. Lot acreage wasn't pulled either. We'd rather say that plainly than publish a number for thirty two houses that the county record doesn't support, and the openings get counted on site regardless.

Shallow 1980s jambs and one big door wall

Across the 1,458 to 4,136 square foot range you're looking at roughly 12 to 28 openings, and the first thing we establish is the decade, because Port Harbour's two waves behave differently. The 1980 to 1988 houses have shallow jambs, frequently on openings reworked inside the original frame, and 38 to 46 years of settling on wood framing behind them. The 1992 to 1997 houses have returns wrapped into the opening with no applied casing and about three decades of settling, which is old enough that squareness can't be assumed but new enough that depth is usually workable for an inside mount. One house tells you nothing about the next one on Eastport.

Shapes split the same way. The 1980s houses carry picture windows and sliding door walls onto the water, and the 1992 to 1997 houses add arched heads and bay nooks. Frontage lots in both waves carry the largest assemblies plus screened porches. Exposure is unusual here because the streets are named for compass points off the inlet rather than laid on a grid, so lots face the inlet at whatever angle the shoreline gave them. Two houses on Westport can look at the water differently, which is why we take a compass reading at the measure instead of assuming the street name describes the view.

What we specify in Port Harbour

Thirty two houses at 1,458 to 4,136 square feet is modest stock in a small plat, and the specification reflects that rather than inflating it. The 1980 to 1988 core wants products that mount cleanly outside a shallow opening and shrug off humidity from the inlet. The 1992 to 1997 houses can usually take an inside mount and want the shapes handled. Nothing here is out of reach from the floor, so motorization is a convenience question rather than a necessity. National pricing runs $60 to $600 per window on stock shades against $250 to $2,600 on custom, custom fabrication is 2 to 5 weeks, and we're insured and insured with a written contract on anything over $150.

Northport, Eastport, Westport and the Port Harbour inlet

Port Harbour is a small inlet plat on the Cicero side of Morse Reservoir, reached from Stringtown Pike, with four streets named for compass points off the water: Northport, Eastport, Westport and Inlet. That naming set exists nowhere else in the county. The reservoir was completed in 1956 and is owned by Citizens Energy Group, covering about 1,500 acres with roughly 32.5 miles of shoreline. Schooling is Hamilton Heights School Corporation, the institutional break between Cicero and the towns to its south, running one elementary school and one middle school before Hamilton Heights High School for every address in the town.
