Affordable new homes in top-ranked city

Affordable, quality-built homes aren’t always easy to find – and when you do find them, you might have to sacrifice other appealing factors like amenities or a desirable location. Parkway Estates, located in Blue Springs, offers all of this and much more, giving homeowners unmatched value at an appealing price point.

Parkway Estates is one of several Kansas City-area new home communities developed by Sallee Development. Thanks to an enviable combination of beautifully built, affordable homes; a prime Jackson County location that’s a half-mile from Blue Springs South High School, and community amenities that include a zero-entry swimming pool and water features, Parkway Estates continues to see a steady stream of activity from prospective homeowners, many of whom quickly become Parkway Estates residents.

Located at Adams Dairy Parkway and Moreland School Road, Parkway Estates is ideally situated in Blue Springs, recently ranked by HomeUnion, a real estate investment management firm, as the number one city in which to find affordable homes and access to good schools.

Within Parkway Estates, prospective homeowners can choose from single-family homes and maintenance-provided villas. Prices range from the mid $200,000s to the $300,000s, and several speculative homes – both single-family and villas – are available in varying stages of completion to accommodate a range of move-in timelines.

Prospective buyers interested in a single-family home are encouraged to visit Parkway Estates’ two furnished model homes. A community favorite floor plan, Springbrook, is available to tour at 1001 SE Amber Ct. The four-bedroom, 2 ½-bathroom home offers 1,934 square feet of living space and ample extras, including granite countertops, hardwood flooring on the first floor, custom kitchen cabinets, stainless steel appliances and a spacious master suite with sitting area, double bowl vanity and a large jetted tub with separate shower.

A second model home features the popular Brightwood floor plan. Located at 1005 SE Amber Ct., the four-bedroom, 2½-bathroom home offers the convenience of flex space that can easily serve as a dining room or a home office. The bright, open design is accented with numerous upgrades, including granite countertops, hardwood flooring, tile in all bathrooms and a master bathroom complete with an angled corner soaker tub, double bowl vanity and a separate shower.

For prospective buyers interested in the convenience of a maintenance-free lifestyle, several furnished villa homes are available to view and purchase. Snow removal, lawn care and trash service are provided, giving residents more time to enjoy the community and surrounding area.

An appealing variety of homesites are also available for those who prefer to create a custom-built single-family or villa home. Work with a member of the community’s building team, including Eagle One Construction, Dave Richards Homes, Graham Homes or Johnnie Adams Homes. Parkway Estates also welcomes outside builders, giving homeowners the flexibility to create the floor plan that truly suits their preferences. A new selection of 38 homesites opens this summer, including several walkout and treed locations, the ideal spot for a custom-built home.

Now is the perfect time to see all that Parkway Estates has to offer, especially since the swimming pool is officially open for the summer season. Your dream home is waiting – and now’s the time to buy it!
