Chris George knows exactly what homebuyers want in their dream home and he’s offering it all at Woodland Ridge. Upscale finishes, excellent value, quality construction, easy highway access and family-friendly amenities are all standard in this Spring Hill community.

Chris George Homes, the developer and builder, offers an array of floor plans that include ranch, reverse 11/2-story and two-story homes with prices starting as low as $244,950 including the lot.

Homes also include all of the features today’s homebuyers want most: three-car garages, granite counters, hardwood flooring, stone detailing, arched doorways, bullnose corners, custom cabinetry, premium faucets, dual shower heads, tiled bathrooms and wrought-iron spindles.

“Other communities create model homes with granite, hardwood floors and stone detailing, then hand homebuyers a long list of prices they will have to pay in order to get these features,” said Shelly Christ, community manager with Carolyn Collier of Better Homes Gardens Real Estate Kansas City Homes. “When you visit a home at Woodland Ridge, what you see is what you get. Everything in our model is already included in the home’s price.”

George has been building homes in the Kansas City area since 1976 and is the son of a builder. His family-owned business includes his brothers, Terry and Mike; his sons, Caleb and Chris; and his sister-in-law, Ruby. His reputation led many potential buyers to seek out his homes and stop by Woodland Ridge, Collier and Christ said. George also has many repeat customers and second-generation customers among his clientele.

George’s extensive building experience allows him to modify any of his plans to suit the buyer’s needs or he can custom design a home from scratch — a service he provides without charging an extra fee.

“Woodland Ridge is built on secluded, rolling hills, which allows for many elevations and choices of home designs,” George said. “We are happy to help buyers take full advantage of the property with our in-house design services and experience.”

Outside plans and builders are also welcome at Woodland Ridge with approval. View all the floor plans and available homes at

One of the most popular spots in Woodland Ridge during the summer months is the community’s swimming pool. Residents also enjoy access to two beautiful lakes, which are part of a city park located in the community. Fishing, boating, hiking and horseback riding are also available at nearby Hillsdale State Park.

“Residents really enjoy the lakes and the city holds an annual fishing derby,” Collier said.
