Rodrock Development’s winning tradition for Parade continues

Rodrock Development has been taking part in the Spring Parade of Homes since 1983 and is incredibly proud to have 32 years of consecutive wins. Gabriel Homes won an American Dream First Place Award for its Makenna floor plan in Stonebridge Trails, continuing this trend.

“We are so proud of this fine builder and thrilled that they chose Rodrock Development Communities to showcase this home,” said Brenda Sanders, president of Rodrock & Associates, Realtors. “I know how hard they work and they deserved to win.”

The Makenna is beautifully finished, said longtime marketing agent Joan Jacquin. “This plan is really popular here at the Trails. It features a finished daylight lower level, complete with bar, a large kitchen and an open, informal main floor, ideal for entertaining. It offers five spacious bedrooms, 41/2 baths, a covered porch and outdoor living area with fire pit, and a handy mudroom with boot bench.”

Such a fantastic win aside, this year’s Spring Parade was a huge success given the all-time-high 10 Rodrock Development communities showcasing an incredible 22 models. The homes, ranging from single-family homes to maintenance-provided villas, showcases the finest in new home building and design.

This is truly an ideal time to explore the very best Rodrock Developments has to offer, with Parade homes at the ready in Grey Oaks in Shawnee; Southwick on the Lake in Stilwell; Greens of Chapel Creek in Shawnee; Cottages at Woodridge in Overland Park; and Grayson Place, Forest View, Stonebridge Meadows, Stonebridge Village, Stonebridge Trails and Stonebridge Park in Olathe.

With a variety of floor plans and price points starting in the $260,000s, there’s truly something for everyone. And as with all Rodrock Developments, each community is thoughtfully planned, laden with amenities and built to the exacting standards for which Darol Rodrock has been renowned for more than 35 years. With new inventory, new floor plans and quality builders, even the most discriminating buyer will be impressed by the “Rodrock difference.”

“As Realtors, it’s reassuring to know that when we take a client to a Rodrock community, we’re confident that the subdivision is a first-class development,” said Ron and Lee Ann Yartz of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Kansas City Homes.

“Rodrock communities have the extra amenities that buyers really like, including paths for walking, biking and jogging, green spaces, pools, clubhouses, play areas, attractive entrance monuments and more. Common areas are always well designed and maintained. And only the best builders in Kansas City are invited to build in Rodrock developments.”

Among the builders Parade-goers will see include: James Engle Custom Homes Inc., Chris George Homes, Robert A. Washam Construction Inc., New Mark Homes, First Choice Builder and more. And each of these hand-selected builders showcases the very latest in home building, including open floor plans, thoughtfully planned kitchen layouts, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, breathtaking outdoor living areas, and gathering spaces for families of all sizes.

This last point is of great importance, because Rodrock Developments are uniquely designed for families of all shapes and sizes.

“Many Rodrock subdivisions include an elementary school, which provides a convenience and safety for residents because their children do not need to leave the subdivision to attend school,” added Ron and Lee Ann. “And the sales agents are professional and well informed, and they are always accommodating to fellow real estate agents. It’s always a pleasure to bring our clients to a Rodrock community.”

Importantly, all of the homes in Rodrock communities are marketed by Rodrock & Associates, Realtors, agents with exceptional experience in selling new homes. Whether buyers are looking for immediate move-in availability, wishing for walkout or daylight lots, or scouting for a woodland view or acreage zoned for horses, Rodrock and its agents deliver.

Another exciting development that this Parade will help showcase is the expansion of maintenance-provided villas and townhomes available in three Rodrock communities: Stonebridge Village and Grayson Place, both in Olathe, and the Cottages at Woodridge in Overland Park.

Each of these communities boasts distinctive home styles to meet any taste, and for a low monthly fee, all maintenance is seen to, including exterior upkeep, lawn mowing, edging, fertilization and snow removal on streets, driveways and sidewalks — giving homeowners both time and freedom.

Be it a home on a quiet cul-de-sac, a lot overlooking rolling greens of a pristine golf course, a home that welcomes your equine friends, or simply a villa that offers you the welcome freedom from yard work, Rodrock Developments have something truly substantial to show you on the Spring Parade of Homes.
