Starting this fall, homebuyers will find more reasons than ever to make south Overland Park’s Wyngate community home: thirty-three of them, to be exact. Responding to both record sales and an increased demand among buyers for Wyngate’s well-located luxuries, Rodrock Homes is unveiling thirty-three new premium home sites in the top selling community. Last fall a record number of homebuyers made Wyngate their community of choice, with this fall promising more of the same. “More buyers in our price range chose to make Wyngate their home than any other new home community in south Overland Park,” says Rodrock Homes’ CEO Brian Rodrock. In his role as developer, Rodrock has re-energized Wyngate with an infusion of both ideas and capital. “We believe in putting our money where our mouth is,” says Rodrock, “and this area is where our buyers want to be.” Indeed key to Wyngate’s top appeal is its coveted location close to schools, businesses, shopping, and highways along a stretch of Overland Park’s 159th Street that industry experts call ‘The Golden Mile.’ “That area really is golden,” says Landmarketing Owner and real estate advisor Dan Whitney, who first coined the term based on sales figures collected by his independent research firm. “It’s led the recovery in housing in Kansas City.” In addition to its sought-after surroundings, homeowners like Jeff Rice say it’s
the surprise luxuries found inside Wyngate that persuaded he and wife Shannon to make the neighborhood their new address. Chief among those is a convenience exclusive to Wyngate: in-neighborhood access to Blue Valley schools. “You can’t beat having that short distance to school,” says Rice, who appreciates the door-to-door jaunt to elementary and middle schools that paved nature trails and quiet streets afford. And while other amenities like a community clubhouse and exercise room, zero-entry swimming pool, two sport courts, and a kids’ playground make lives easier, homeowners says the houses themselves set the Rodrock Homes’ community apart. “The standards in Wyngate—the stucco on the homes, the quality overall, the well-thought-out floor plans—those are all reasons we chose to live here,” explains Rice. Luxuries like covered porches, European double showers, wine closets, and paneled great rooms come standard, with on-trend décor provided by Twigs’ Interiors. Models are open seven days a week.
