Rodrock’s Forest View offers the finest in community living
Years ago, Reece Nichols real-estate agent Danielle Sapienza set out to Rodrock’s Forest View to unlock a home for another agent.
“When I first pulled into the subdivision and saw that waterfall, I thought to myself, ‘I’m going to live here one day,’” Danielle recalls. “The neighborhood was amazing. I’d never seen anything like that—and still haven’t to this day.”
Located west of Highway 7 on 119th Street and comprised of The Estates of Forest View, The Hills of Forest View, and The Meadows of Forest View, the community sits past a 50-foot waterfall, natural rock bluffs, and lush greenery. From this exquisite entryway on, Forest View distinguishes itself among Johnson County developments. At every turn, it exceeds homebuyers’ expectations.
Now a resident, Danielle adores the sense of community within Forest View, as well as its amenities—in particular the splash park. “And Forest View Elementary is actually recognized by The White House, since they’ve adopted an educational philosophy based on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Educators from all over the nation visit the school to model their own curriculum after it.”
Aaron Donner likewise knows a thing or two about Kansas communities. As a realtor for The Donner Group at Keller Williams, Aaron helps clients tour the best neighborhoods in the city. And at the end of the day, he returns to Forest View.
“We love the hills, trees, nature, and amount of green space throughout the community,” says Aaron. “The amenities are great! The grounds are so well kept, and it’s always nice to drive by the spectacular waterfall and manicured entrance coming into the neighborhood.”
Such selling points make it easy for Aaron to bring homebuyers into Forest View—turning clients into new neighbors.
“Having such a wonderful experience over the past 12 years, it’s easy for me to sell within the community. Some of the things that attract clients are the trees, hills, green space, schools, and wonderful amenities. The pool area is one of the best around! In addition, there’s a playground, sand volleyball court, and grill/shelter areas for gatherings. The Moms’ Council is so well run and a huge asset. The holiday hayrides, movie nights at the park, Farmer’s Market, and Fourth of July bike parade are just a few of the events that bring neighbors together.”
And given that interest rates are unbelievably low, it’s a fantastic time to buy. Thankfully, Forest View has a number of move-in ready homes, meaning families can land their dream home at incredible prices!
Among them is Prieb Homes’ reverse 1.5-story, 4-bedroom, 3-bath Dakota, newly priced at $470,000. Wall-to-wall windows overlook the home’s gorgeous walkout wooded lot. Upgrades galore are found throughout, from an incredible mudroom and tons of storage to designer lighting, tile, and a chef’s kitchen. A fantastic lower-level rec room with wet bar will be a favorite gathering spot for families of all shapes and sizes.
Also available is Roeser Homes’ beautiful 2-story Bailey in the Enclave area of the Estates of Forest View. This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath abode has an impeccably designed floor plan on a walkout lot. With lovely hardwoods throughout the first floor, formal dining room and living room, a 2-story hearth with floor-to-ceiling stone accented fireplace, and gourmet kitchen, this home is not to be missed.
Even more enticing? The community is now open to approved, outside builders. Rodrock is making room for more builders to build out this amazing community.
“Forest View is unique with its rolling hills and wooded walkout lots,” says community manager Debi Donner. “The neighborhood is incredibly well thought out, with little traffic on residential side streets and some 40 separate cul-de-sacs, which bring an abundance of safety and socializing for all ages. And we’re right by Forest View Elementary and Mission Trail Middle School, with the new Olathe West High School minutes away.”
