Blue Springs community celebrates Hometown Heroes with incentive

Thanks to an unmatched new home value at an appealing price point, Parkway Estates has become the superior choice for homeowners in the market for quality-built homes, amenities and a coveted location. And for a particular group of homeowners, Parkway Estates developer Sallee Development’s commitment to giving back to the community makes the choice to live at Parkway Estates even easier.

The Hometown Heroes incentive is exclusive to Parkway Estates and gives medical professionals, military, teachers, police officers and firefighters $2,000 that they can use any way they wish for their new home, whether on closing costs or upgrades.

Paula Morgan, lead real estate agent at Parkway Estates, said well over 50 percent of Parkway Estates buyers qualify for this “free cash” incentive, thanks to the community’s close proximity to three Blue Springs schools, St. Mary’s Medical Center and a newly announced Saint Luke’s special care facility.

Now’s the ideal time for more Hometown Heroes and prospective buyers to seize the unprecedented affordability and quality available at Parkway Estates. Nearly a dozen speculative homes are underway, giving buyers an opportunity to make interior selections with decorator assistance, including cabinetry, carpeting, paint and flooring. For buyers on a faster move-in timeline, many popular plans are move-in ready. Prices at Parkway Estates range from the mid-$200,000s to the $300,000s.

Prospective buyers interested in a single-family home are encouraged to visit Parkway Estates’ two furnished model homes. A community favorite floor plan, the reverse 1 ½-story Woodland II, is available to tour at 1004 SE Amber Ct. The four-bedroom, 2½-bathroom home offers 2,600 square feet of living space in an open, reverse ranch design, as well as 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 two-story Northbend model home, located at 1000 SE Amber Ct., is also available to tour. A spacious, airy main level flows seamlessly from a living area complete with fireplace, to a large kitchen and dining area. A patio is located just off the living room, the perfect spot to enjoy an outdoor meal or refreshment. Thoughtful built-ins maximize space throughout the home, including an unexpected office nook just off the kitchen with a built-in desk. The upper level includes four bedrooms, two of which adjoin with a shared bathroom complete with dual sinks. The spacious master suite is a peaceful retreat that includes an oversized bathroom, walk-in shower and ample cabinetry and shelving. The home’s lower level offers a sizable rec room, as well as flexible storage space that could easily be converted into an additional bedroom.

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.

The diverse selection of available inventory isn’t the only reason to purchase in Parkway Estates right now. Summer is also the best time to enjoy a favorite community amenity: the zero-entry swimming pool with water features and a covered seating area.

In addition to the quality-built homes, affordability and community amenities, Parkway Estates’ Blue Springs location is also a compelling factor. HomeUnion, a real estate investment management firm, recently ranked Blue Springs the number one city in which to find affordable homes and access to good schools.

“Blue Springs’ schools were ranked at the 88th percentile by the National Center for Education Statistics, according to (Steve) Hovland, (director of research for HomeUnion).”

Parkway Estates is located just a half-mile from Blue Springs South High School, an ideal location for both teachers and students. The prime Jackson County location is also a short drive away from the flourishing retail and restaurant development at Adam’s Dairy Landing, as well as convenient highway access to Interstate 70.

A value this good won’t be available for long. Stop by Parkway Estates soon and find your dream home.
