Discover the appeal of Johnson County’s best-kept secret

Johnson County’s best-kept secret may not stay a secret for much longer. Since Canyon Ridge opened last spring, 21 homes have sold, a brisk pace of activity that speaks to Canyon Ridge’s appealing combination of quality-built homes, prime location, affordability and the convenience of a maintenance-provided lifestyle.

What’s even more astounding? All of Canyon Ridge’s sales so far happened without a model row, although the community’s building team – Pauli Homes, Remington Custom Homes, Wynne Homes, Rockwood Builders and Red Lion Custom Homes – is busy on a new array of speculative homes that offer varying styles of reverse 1 ½-story floor plans.

Canyon Ridge is much more than simply a place to call home – it’s a lifestyle community created with a specific group of homeowners in mind: those looking not to downsize, but to right-size their lifestyle. All homes at Canyon Ridge are reverse 1 ½-story designs priced from $350,000 to $450,000, providing a rare opportunity in this hard-to-find price range for single-standing patio/villa homes in a maintenance-provided community.

Most homes are on walkout or daylight homesites. And for prospective homeowners who prefer to select their homesite, a handful of flat treed locations are available, along with additional walkout homesites. Annie Kennedy with Realty Executives of Kansas City markets the community for P & L Development and urges interested homeowners to act quickly on making a homesite reservation, as the selection is rapidly decreasing.

Homeowners who purchase in Canyon Ridge now will be moved in just in time to enjoy the splendor of spring in this beautiful area. A scenic walking trail is the perfect place to enjoy a morning or evening stroll through the peaceful surroundings. Plus, homeowners who purchase in March will be qualified for a special, limited-time incentive. Those who buy a home by the end of March will be entered into a drawing to win a decked out golf cart in celebration of Kansas City’s World Series champions, the Royals!

Part of Canyon Ridge’s appeal as a lifestyle community is that it helps residents get more out of the recreation and activities they love. Because Canyon Ridge is maintenance-provided, homeowners have peace of mind that their homes are cared for while they travel. Provided maintenance includes lawn care and snow removal, as well as maintenance of common grounds, all for a $100 monthly fee.

That convenience extends to the community’s prime location. Nestled within the rolling terrain of southern Johnson County, Canyon Ridge is just north of Kansas 10 on Canyon Creek Boulevard. The picturesque setting offers lush surroundings without compromising quick, convenient access to nearby highways, shops and services.
