Rodrock Development rolls out its finest at Spring Parade of Homes

Spring is in the air, and Mother Nature is showing off her finest brightly colored blooms. The new housing industry is following suit with Kansas City’s 54th annual Spring Parade of Homes. More than 340 new homes – spread throughout seven metropolitan-area counties – are primed and ready so attendees can see the latest in homebuilding. Starting April 23 through May 8, these gorgeous homes are open to the public for free tours from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

Rodrock Development is especially excited for this year’s Spring Parade, thanks to an all-time-high 11 communities showcasing an incredible 34 models – ranging from single-family homes to maintenance-provided villas. This is the perfect time to explore the best Rodrock Development has to offer, with homes in Southwick on the Lake in Stilwell; Arbor Lake in Lenexa; Greens of Chapel Creek in Shawnee; Cottages at Woodridge in Overland Park; and Grayson Place, Forest View, Persimmon Hills, Stonebridge Meadows, Stonebridge Village, Stonebridge Trails and Stonebridge Park in Olathe.

Arguably its largest Parade to date, Rodrock Development offers a variety of floor plans and price points (starting in the $300s), so there’s truly something for everyone.

“We are so thrilled for Parade goers to see all that Rodrock Development has to offer on this year’s Spring Parade of Homes,” says Brenda Sanders, president of Rodrock & Associates, Realtors. “The builders have all worked extremely hard to showcase new floor plans, and the designers have done a great job featuring the latest trends. We have such an impressive selection of home styles designed for every stage of life – from families just starting out to empty nesters. There should be something for everyone!”

For instance, Stonebridge Park will offer seven new Parade entries by seven different award-winning builders, so you can effortlessly see a variety of plans and builder styles in one stop.

“The plans featured include three two-stories, two 1.5 stories, and two reverse 1.5 stories,” says longtime Rodrock Development marketing agent Ed Stephenson. “Six of these homes will be beautifully furnished. Unique touches include high ceilings, stunning kitchens, impressive finished basements and outdoor entertainment areas. These are the finest homes we have, offered at extremely competitive prices. We’ve also opened a new phase with 50 incredible lots that feature walkout, wooded and greenspace settings. You can find a floor plan you love, purchase a lot, and build a home to your exacting standards!”

Meanwhile, there are a total of five homes in the Parade in two of the three Forest View communities. “Our homes are filled with new decorating ideas and the latest in color palettes,” says Linda Roberts, community manager at Forest View. “It really is so exciting! Our floor plans are all new and improved, and the models showcase all kinds of new décor.”

Among the builders Parade-goers will see include: James Engle Custom Homes, Inc., Chris George Homes, Robert A. Washam Construction, Inc., Tabernacle Homes, Prieb Homes, New Mark Homes, JFE Construction, Hilmann Home Building, and more. Each of these hand-selected builders showcases the latest in homebuilding, including open floor plans, thoughtfully planned kitchens, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, breathtaking outdoor living areas, and gathering spaces for families of all sizes.

This last point is of great importance, because Rodrock Developments are uniquely designed for families of all shapes and sizes. Rodrock communities are filled with amenities, including pools, clubhouses, playgrounds, paved paths, attractive entrance monuments and more. Many subdivisions also include an elementary school, providing residents convenient and safe access to school.

This Parade also helps showcase the expansion of maintenance-provided villas and townhomes available in Stonebridge Village, Grayson Place, and the Cottages at Woodridge. Each community boasts home styles to meet any taste, and for a low monthly fee all maintenance is seen to, including exterior upkeep, lawn mowing, fertilization, and snow removal.

Be it a home on a quiet cul-de-sac, a lot overlooking the rolling greens of a pristine golf course, or a villa that offers freedom from yard work, Rodrock Developments have something substantial to show you on the Spring Parade of Homes.
