Communities of Piper Lake provide tranquil living

As the Kansas City metropolitan area continues to grow, prospective buyers are increasingly finding more living options in nature seemingly “away from the city.”

The Communities of Piper Lake, located in western Wyandotte County between U.S. 7 and Interstate 435 at Hollingsworth Road and 125th Street, offers a tranquil setting located around a beautiful 55-acre lake across from Dub’s Dread Golf Course.

Encompassing single-family homes and villas starting in the $270,000s, the community features several of the metro area’s upscale home builders including Cedar Nile Homes, Reed Fuller Construction, Broadway Homes and Ashlar Homes. Together, they offer an array of floor plans including ranch, reverse 11/2-story, two-story and 11/2 story plans.

Buyers also have the option of selecting their own eye-catching lots on which to custom build their dream home. Several lake lots are available, as well as walkout and level lots.

Reed Fuller Construction, one of Kansas City’s premier home builders, has two homes currently available or can custom build your dream home. Reed Fuller Construction’s goal is to not only help you design and build your dream home, but to make the process easy and enjoyable for you.
