When a new home community offers exceptional homes, an impressive variety of distinct, thoughtfully designed floor plans by some of the area’s most accomplished builders, a magnificent setting with an abundance of nearby shopping, dining and recreational opportunities – word gets out – fast! So fast, in fact, that the growing enthusiasm and activity at southern Overland Park’s Chapel Hill demonstrates that home buyers recognize the rare opportunity that this celebrated new home community presents.

“Chapel Hill has been, and continues to be uniquely positioned to offer new home buyers exceptional value in homes that are elegant in their simplicity yet rich in detail, function and beauty,” said Richard Lashbrook, owner/manager of the project. “We cover all of the most sophisticated and modern elements of real estate development – from the latest construction techniques to financing. Our dedication to these principles enables us to provide an exceptional collection of homes that reflect an appreciation for quality materials crafted with traditional workmanship.”

Evidence of the community’s builders’ craftsmanship and innovative concepts will be on display in Chapel Hill’s Phase III, The Estates. The new model row is now in the works with an early spring completion and opening. Beautiful new floorplans in this latest phase have been designed and built by five of the area’s most experienced, respected builders, including Don Julian Builders, Bickimer Homes, Parkview Homes, James Engle Custom Homes and Rodrock Homes. The five new model homes will feature fresh, exciting reverse plans. Prices in The Estates range from the upper $300,000s to the low $700,000s. Outside builders are welcome, subject to developer approval.

Chapel Hill is spread over 240 acres where 600-plus homes will be built. The pastoral charm of the community has been secured with the reservation of 70 acres for greenspace. Residents currently enjoy all the amenities, including a swimming pool complex, hike and bike trails and a playground. Additionally, plans for the new clubhouse have been drawn up, and the second pool for the community is scheduled to be built with phase four development.

“Chapel Hill is situated in one of the most picturesque areas of southern Overland Park,” said Bill Gerue with Weichert Realtors Graham-Welch, who markets the community. “Chapel Hill has been meticulously designed, offering extensive landscaping and exceptional amenities. Our homes reflect unequalled quality at surprisingly affordable prices. No other community in Overland Park offers such extreme value.”

Throughout Chapel Hill there is an impressive variety of home sites to choose from, including walkouts, daylights, garden levels, cul-de-sac and an extraordinary number of sites backing to greenspace. In southern Overland Park, it’s virtually impossible to find home sites elsewhere that compare to the beauty and value of those in Chapel Hill.

“We have home plans to fit nearly any lifestyle needs,” Gerue said. “And for those in a bit of a hurry, we have a good inventory of homes available for move-in within either 30, 60 or 90 days. Many agents throughout the area bring their relocation clients to Chapel Hill. They know they will be able to fulfill their client’s needs and desires here instead of having to visit countless communities.”

Adjacent to Chapel Hill is the Heritage Park Complex covering more than 1,200 acres. Heritage Park features an 18-hole golf course and a 40-acre lake for fishing, sailing and swimming. A 30-acre off-leash dog park is a popular amenity, as are picnic cabanas, sports fields and green spaces. Also, the community is within minutes of fine dining, shopping, healthcare and family entertainment opportunities.

The current building companies in Chapel Hill include Don Julian Builders, Rodrock Homes, Bickimer Construction, AZ Custom Homes, ParkView Homes, Dan Smith Homes, James Engle Homes, Ashlar Homes, Nick Zvacek Construction, Tom French Construction, Midwest Realty, LLC Builders, Comerio Corporation and Martens Family Enterprises, all of which offer a variety of plans that may be viewed on the Chapel Hill website at LiveatChapelHill.com or on the builders’ individual websites.
