Eagle Creek offers variety of move-in ready new homes

If you’ve ever dreamed of sitting on your back deck or patio looking out on trees or green space, Eagle Creek has the perfect home for you.

“Our builders have a limited number of inventory homes with views of trees or green space that are now finished or nearing completion,” said Carol Smetanka, ReeceNichols agent and community co-manager with Peggy Holmes. “These homes feature light, fresh paint colors, granite counter tops and free-standing soaker tubs in some of the master bathrooms. There’s a reason why these homes have been selling so quickly.”

Surrounded by rolling hills and farmland, Eagle Creek is in Lee’s Summit off of Pryor Road, three miles south of Interstate 470. Residents enjoy the country-like setting, while popular shopping centers, grocery stores and lively downtown Lee’s Summit are just minutes away. Nearby Missouri 150 Highway also allows quick access for those commuting to Johnson County.

Monuments with cascading waterfalls and generous landscaping greet residents at both entrances and two community swimming pools, a playground, acres of green space and paved walking trails connecting to a 27-acre city park provide families and individuals a place to relax and unwind just outside their front door.

“Aside from the school district, the neighborhood amenities and sense of community throughout are a big draw for homebuyers,” explained Smetanka. “People watch out for their neighbors here and sunny weekends guarantee a playground full of children. With the elementary school just across the street, it’s a very family-friendly community.”

Eagle Creek is in the highly acclaimed Lee’s Summit School District, including the commonly sought-after Lee’s Summit West High School attendance area. Children also attend Summit Lakes Middle School and Hawthorn Hill Elementary School.

There are nine finished homes now open to tour, including reverse 11/2-story, ranch and two-story plans, by JFE Construction, SAB Homes, Sallee Homes and Summit Custom Homes.

“The number of completed inventory homes in Eagle Creek provides buyers an excellent opportunity to see a wide variety of finishes and floor plans without having to leave the neighborhood,” explained Smetanka. “This is also a great time to buy as it allows time to move and get settled before school starts in the fall.”

The mixed-use community features townhomes, single-family homes and land for future villas or other neighborhood friendly mixed-uses. The master-plan allows for homes in a range of price points to accommodate different lifestyles and, once complete, will include 1,000 residences.

Eagle Creek is developed by Hunt Midwest, a leader in master-planned community development for over 20 years. Hunt Midwest is owned by the family of legendary sports pioneer, Lamar Hunt, also owners of the Kansas City Chiefs.
