Just in time for summer, Brookfield Residential boasts two portfolios of move-in ready homes

Summer is just around the corner and those hot summer days are best spent by the pool. In amenity-rich Shoal Creek Valley, residents have two pools to choose from. Surround yourself in serenity at the Gate House or splash into the season with your children at the water park at Park Place. Wind down at the end of the day in your custom kitchen or quiet loft in your new Brookfield Residential home.

Brookfield Residential is a new homebuilder in Shoal Creek Valley boasting two portfolios in The Greens and The Enclave neighborhoods with 11 move-in ready homes. Interest remains high, and homes are selling as buyers discover the quality craftsmanship, fresh architectural designs and practical functionality of the Brookfield home.

The Harmony portfolio within The Enclave features one ranch and three two-story styles starting in the low $300,000s. Like the name alludes to, Brookfield architects paid careful attention to the flow of the home, ensuring every detail from floor plan to individual design elements works together in harmony, creating an experience that soothes and comforts you the moment you walk in the door. These homes range in size from 2,300 to 3,100 square feet with a ranch and three two-story styles starting in the low $300,000s.

The Plaza portfolio is perfect for your growing family. Named after the famed Country Club Plaza, these grand homes serve as gathering places for families to celebrate all of their special moments and create lasting memories. The large open floor plans surrounded by windows create a bright, airy space ideal for your summer get together. The homes within this portfolio range from 2,600 to 3,600 square feet and start in the low $400,000s.

All plans uniquely offer a study/office and formal dining room, in addition to at least four bedrooms in the two-stories; with an option of five to seven bedrooms, and three bedrooms in the ranch; with an option of five bedrooms. Standard features include a three-car garage, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors throughout, granite countertops and custom cabinetry.

“These homes are truly stunning,” said Kevin Lau of ReeceNichols, the sales partner of Brookfield Residential. “We are so excited to show buyers the incomparable quality and design of the Brookfield home and the unparalleled amenities of Shoal Creek Valley.”

The icon of Shoal Creek Valley is The Gate House, with its plush grounds, meandering garden pathways, media room, banquet room and fully equipped kitchen. It is available for residents to rent for activities, events and meetings, or for those who simply want to enjoy the patios, large fountain pool, waterfall hot tub and barbecue pavilion.

The chalet-style clubhouse known as The Park House features large, open interior spaces, the warmth of a fireplace and comfortable seating. But its large, outdoor water park is the main attraction on warm summer days. There are two large swimming pools, a lazy river, two waterslides, a splash plaza, a toddler pool, water fountains, sun decks, picnic pavilions and changing rooms.

“One of our main goals at Brookfield Residential is to create communities where people want to live,” said Scott Davis, operations manager for Brookfield Residential in Kansas City. “Typically with new construction, buyers come first, then retail follows. That’s not the case here and that’s precisely why we selected Shoal Creek Valley as the neighborhood for our new homes.”

The Shoal Creek Valley master-planned community has grown immeasurably during the past two years, bringing to the area a garden fresh and health food grocery store, new family restaurants, medical facilities promoting healthy living and numerous other establishments. Most are within walking distance of the Shoal Creek Valley communities. Golf enthusiasts will be drawn to the nearby Shoal Creek Golf Course for an enjoyable and challenging 18-hole experience.

The neighborhood is also conveniently located near interstates 435 and 35. Residents can travel to Kauffman Stadium, the Power & Light District or the Country Club Plaza within 20 minutes, and the Kansas City International Airport is an easy 20- to 25-minute drive, with only one stoplight along the way.
