Affordable Johnson County living found at Oak Run

Perched on the western edge of Olathe on a beautiful meandering landscape and inviting open green space, the residential community of Oak Run, under the ownership of Stewart Groves Development, offers tranquil suburban living close to the city.

According to Rosie Dearmore, who markets the property with Theresa Moore and Janelle Williams for ReeceNichols Real Estate, buyers here get a lot of home for the money.

“People who come here are amazed that they can buy a beautiful brand new home with today’s modern trends, energy efficient features and more, starting in the $200,000s in Johnson County,” Dearmore says. “Demand is high. Our spec homes are selling very quickly, often before completion.”

Prospective buyers will find a wealth of options and amenities suitable for first-time, move-up, and empty-nest buyers.

Among them are several floor plans built by one of the Kansas City area’s premier builders – Sallee Homes, Inc.

The Springbrook is a spacious, two-story, four-bedroom, 2 ½-bathroom home featuring an open floor plan, priced in the high $200,000s.

The Northbend, a two-story, four-bedroom, 3 ½-bathroom plan features an open floor plan and an office/flex room on the main level. The Northbend is the model home for the community, and will be highlighted in the upcoming Spring Parade of Homes.

By touring the model, prospective buyers can experience the superior quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail found in every Sallee built home. They also have the opportunity to walk Oak Run’s available homesites and select the homesite of their choice.

Another popular floor plan at Oak Run is the Woodland II, an inviting reverse 1 ½-story home featuring the master bedroom suite and an additional bedroom on the main floor, with the remaining two bedrooms on the lower level. Priced in the mid-$300,000s, this floor plan has a finished lower level with a wet bar and a second living area.

“Our reverse plans are some of the most affordable in the area,” says Williams.

“Our buyers have told us they feel like they have walked into a very comfortable, boutique version of a more expensive home.”

In addition to Sallee Homes, Oak Run is also open to outside builders, for those desiring a custom dream home.

Oak Run is located within the award-winning Olathe school district. Starting in 2017, the high school students of Oak Run will attend the new, state-of-the-art Olathe West High School. The Olathe School District owns land in the Oak Run development slated for a future elementary school.

Community amenities include a pool and cabana. Oak Run’s location is also a highlight, as it is within a stone’s throw of the award-winning Prairie Highlands Golf Course, and just minutes away from many lifestyle amenities including major retailers, grocery stores, restaurants, entertainment venues and recreational areas. The community also enjoys close and easy highway access.

“The beautiful, affordable homes, coupled with the community’s tranquil living ambiance and close proximity to everything one would need makes Oak Run a highly desirable community,” Moore says.
