Rodrock Homes value-added basement finish promotion extended through Oct. 10. | Kansas City Star

As the Fall Parade of Homes wraps up today, Rodrock is extending its popular lower-level finish promotion on 15 select move-in ready homes through Oct. 10. With the limited-time offer, buyers can enjoy half price on the regular price, per square foot, to complete a basement that will enhance their family’s lifestyle for years to come.

“It’s a terrific opportunity to add value to your home while creating an environment to enjoy family and friends with a media room for Chiefs Sundays or a full bar for entertaining or even a game area,” said Theresa Moore, Summerwood community manager and Weichert, Realtors Graham-Welch, LLC,

real estate agent. “Some families might even opt to add another bedroom and bath suite for guests.”

Onsite community managers are available to answer specific questions about homes qualifying for this “Fall into Savings” special.

Visit 14 spectacular homes in eight premier communities today. Rodrock Homes has made a significant commitment to building beautiful family-friendly homes in extraordinary communities throughout Johnson County since third-generation builder-developer Brian Rodrock launched the company in 2002. The Parade showcases, twice a year, a collection of Rodrock’s homes that are built with the craftsmen’s attention to detail that is a trademark of one of Johnson County’s leading residential homebuilders and developers.

Rodrock’s sought-after, trend-setting, open-concept homes—situated in amenities-rich communities that are on-point for the modern family—abound with spacious master suite retreats; well-equipped, gourmet-inspired kitchens and secondary butler’s pantries; cleverly outfitted mudrooms; and dramatic great rooms and creative flex rooms.

Homes strategically located in the acclaimed Blue Valley De Soto school districts. Many buyers with school-age children have proximity to elementary, middle and high schools on their must-haves list.

Each Rodrock community was intentionally built so families can enjoy key access to elementary, middle and high schools. For example, Wyngate’s location offers rare, walk-up access via the community’s trail to Cedar Hill Elementary and Pleasant Ridge Middle School.

Andrea Sullivan, Wyngate community manager and ReeceNichols real estate agent, notes “there’s not another Blue Valley community with this type of benefit. For many families, it means remaining in one house during their children’s school careers.”

Location matters. In addition to Blue Valley’s BluHawk, Colton, Summerwood, Terrybrook Farms—Stone Creek and Wyngate in Overland Park, Rodrock’s exciting Parade entries extend to the vibrant western suburbs, including Gleason Glen in Lenexa and Ridgestone Meadows and Hills of Forest Creek in Shawnee. Prices range from mid-$300s to more than $1 million, with something to accommodate every budget.

Each community boasts its own personality and is convenient to some of the area’s most desirable shopping, dining and entertainment options.

A primary reason BluHawk, Colton, Summerwood, Terrybrook Farms and Wyngate attracts buyers are their ideal locations, nestled in the heart of the sought-after Blue Valley School District and, for Gleason Glen and Hills of Forest Creek, the well-regarded De Soto School District.

“Rodrock Homes has created in-demand, dynamic communities for families with very specific new home prerequisites,” said Kerwin Holloway, Colton community manager and ReeceNichols real estate agent. “The excellent schools are important for buyers seeking a top-notch education for their children.

Colton. Now in its final phase, Colton’s overwhelming success is due in large part to its prime Johnson County location—quietly tucked away in Overland Park on 151st Street between Antioch and Switzer.

Only three properties remain, including a two-story that backs to green space and qualifies for the promotion; a reverse 1.5-story; and the final home site for a custom home that borders Colton Lake and has picturesque views.

Summerwood. Far away from the city’s hectic pace, Summerwood features a private stocked fishing lake with fountain, kid-friendly sports court, zero-depth entry lagoon-style pool with cabanas, scenic views to be enjoyed from over two miles of neighborhood trails and generous home sites. Buyers appreciate the unique suburban retreat vibe of this neighborhood but also its convenience to popular destinations.

Wyngate. Currently Wyngate has five remaining new homes to choose from—four two-story and one 1.5-story. Two of the ready-now homes qualify for the lower-level promotion.

Lenexa: Gleason Glen. During the Parade visit Gleason Glen’s Dillon plan, a four-bedroom reverse 1.5-story home with an attractive boxed-beam ceiling, spacious kitchen and cozy breakfast nook and a flex space on the main level ready to be utilized as a home office or additional bedroom. Home chefs will appreciate the Madison, which features an L-shaped kitchen with a large center island, plenty of perimeter countertop space, custom cabinets and a walk-in pantry.

Shawnee: Hills of Forest Creek. Tour the striking five-bedroom, two-story Destin EX, a member of the Destin floor plan series, with an additional main floor bedroom and bath. The Destin EX’s amenities and open layout are geared to complement a busy family lifestyle. The Lancaster III is a five-bedroom beauty that easily accommodates the frequent entertainer and also provides restful respite in a second level filled with well-appointed bedrooms and baths. Both are available for immediate purchase with a 30-day closing.

Visit today 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Traffic and sales at Rodrock Homes have been brisk during the Fall Parade—hurry to experience the Rodrock difference. If you haven’t made it to this year’s tour, don’t worry—beginning tomorrow, model homes will be open during regular hours.
