Variety, amenities, location attract buyers

Offering homes from the mid-$200,000s, Fountain Hills is a community for people who enjoy life and place a high value on comfort, convenience and an active lifestyle. It’s for parents who want the best for their children, but it meets the needs and desires of homebuyers of all ages.

Whether you’re raising a family, looking forward to visits from the grandkids or just want a great place to call home, Fountain Hills is the perfect choice, according to the marketing team.

Ideally located off of Missouri 152 and North Platte Purchase Drive in Kansas City, North, Fountain Hills offers easy access to major highways, including Interstate 29, Interstate 435 and U.S. 169. Residents can take their children to school, shop for groceries, catch a movie, visit the local library and enjoy a wide variety of restaurants and shops, all within a short distance.

Children living in Fountain Hills attend the highly rated Platte County R-III School District, including Pathfinder Elementary and Barry Middle schools, which are within walking distance to the community.

Despite so many nearby conveniences, residents may find it hard to leave the neighborhood. Fountain Hills offers an amenity package that includes a swimming pool with a well-furnished cabana, a playground, walking trails and a lake with a central fountain.

Fountain Hills is not a typical cookie-cutter neighborhood where all the homes look exactly the same. Ranch style homes are next to two-story homes, right next to split-level homes.

Homes in Fountain Hills are built by some of the finest builders in Kansas City. All five builders in this community take great pride in their craftsmanship and it definitely shows. From the uniqueness of the floor plans to the quality of finishes, Fountain Hills sets the platinum standard for new construction in Kansas City.

The builders offer a variety of floor plans and options to meet every buyer’s needs.
