Quality homes, family-friendly planning abound in Rodrock Development’s Arbor Lake

When Jesse and Mallory Ramsey began the search for a new home, they knew they wanted a vibrant community full of families with young children. So when they stumbled upon Rodrock Development’s Arbor Lake, they were delighted to find the best of both worlds—a quiet neighborhood with minimal traffic but abundant friendly families!

“What initially attracted us to Arbor Lake was its relatively remote and quiet location, yet it has easy access to any of the amenities in Johnson County and Kansas City,” Jesse says. “And one of the main differences we noticed in Arbor Lake compared to other communities was the abundance of families with children the same age as our children. It was important for us to have neighborhood friends for our kids to grow up with.”

The Ramseys are thrilled with their new home, which Jesse says is very well built. “It’s obvious great attention to detail was shown during the whole process. Our builder, Rick Hoelting, was great to work with, which made the whole home-buying process much easier. The excellent school system for our two young children was the cherry on top.”

As the family enters the fall months, there are plenty of neighborhood gatherings to look forward to—including Halloween fun. “I think our favorite thing will be watching our kids grow up in what we hope will be a tight-knit community,” Jesse says. “In the two months we’ve been here, we’ve already made several friends in the neighborhood, and with more homes going up, we’re sure to make many more!”

Located at Prairie Star Parkway and Clare Road, Arbor Lake is anything but a typical, cookie-cutter development. Quiet, privacy-enhancing cul-de-sacs, a new pool, a picturesque 3.8-acre lake, and plenty of plans for growth make the community a standout. What’s more, Arbor Lake is within the award-winning Olathe School district and close to St. James Academy, so growing families like the Ramseys are perfectly situated to grow and flourish.
