New phase and inventory homes now open in Eagle Creek

Those looking to purchase or build a new home in Lee’s Summit now have a fresh selection of homesites and recently completed inventory homes to choose from.

“The 14th phase of Eagle Creek opened last week, and we’ve already had a handful of future residents reserve their homesites,” said Ryan Kennedy, ReeceNichols agent and co-community manager with Mary Hayden. “We knew that this phase would be popular as we’ve had a waiting list going for months. Eagle Creek is a wonderful community to live in, so it’s no surprise to see this much activity.”

The new phase includes 44 homesites, four of which back to trees and greenspace, offering a mix of flat and walkout lots.

Surrounded by rolling hills and farmland, Eagle Creek is located in Lee’s Summit off of Pryor Road, three miles south of Interstate 470. Residents enjoy the country-like setting, while popular shopping centers, grocery stores and lively downtown Lee’s Summit are just minutes away. Nearby Missouri 150 Highway also allows quick access for those desiring an easy commute to Johnson County.

Large stone monuments and generous landscaping greet residents at both entrances, and two community swimming pools, a playground, acres of greenspace and paved walking trails connecting to a 27-acre city park provide families and individuals a place to relax and unwind just outside their front door.

“Not everyone has the time or desire to build, which is why our builders also provide a variety of inventory homes to choose from,” said Kennedy. “We have one move-in ready home and nine others that will be complete by the end of summer, offering buyers the opportunity to move in before school starts.”

Now available to tour is the Augusta, a two-story home by Lee’s Summit based and longtime Eagle Creek builder, SAB Homes. Luxurious details and designer finishes include a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace flanked by custom built-in bookshelves in the great room and a well-equipped kitchen with a large granite island, gas cooktop and walk-in pantry. All bathrooms feature tile throughout and a daylight lower level allows for future expansion opportunities with plenty of windows and space.

In addition, Summit Custom Homes, JFE Construction, Aspen Homes and McFarland Custom Builders have a selection of two-story, 1 ½-story and reverse 1½-story floor plans under construction, allowing buyers the opportunity in most cases to choose their finishes.

Eagle Creek is in the highly acclaimed Lee’s Summit School District, including the commonly sought-after Lee’s Summit West High School attendance area. Children also attend Summit Lakes Middle School and Hawthorn Hill Elementary School.

“Aside from the school district, the neighborhood amenities and sense of community throughout are a big draw for homebuyers,” explained Kennedy. “People watch out for their neighbors here, and sunny weekends guarantee a pool and playground full of children. With the elementary school just across the street, it not only offers families a great place to live, but also grandparents who want to stay close to their grandchildren.”

The mixed-use community features townhomes, single-family homes and land for future villas or other neighborhood friendly mixed-uses. The master-plan allows for homes in a range of price points to accommodate different lifestyles and, once complete, will include 1,000 residences.

Eagle Creek is developed by Hunt Midwest, a leader in master-planned community development for over 20 years. Hunt Midwest is owned by the family of legendary sports pioneer, Lamar Hunt, also owners of the Kansas City Chiefs.
