Move-in ready homes, Spring Parade entries among highlights of Olathe villa community
Spring is in full bloom throughout Boulder Creek Villas, a modern twin villa community located near Olathe’s popular Heritage Park.
As the Spring Parade of Homes continues through May 14, prospective buyers are encouraged to visit Boulder Creek Villas to tour the two Parade entries and an additional four move-in ready homes.
Parade entry 172 showcases a walkout 1½-story Homestead plan by Blue Dot Design and Build, priced at $605,150 and located at 16837 S. Heatherwood St. The spacious layout will be particularly appealing to those who love to cook and entertain. Soaring 10-foot ceilings make the open layout feel even larger, while the centrally located and fully appointed kitchen also offers easy access to an enormous, covered deck.
Parade entry 173 is a reverse 1 ½-story, three-bedroom, three-bathroom Prairieview floor plan built by Prairie Homes. Priced at $594,620, the plan features granite throughout, an extensive trim package and, in the owner’s bathroom, a zero-entry shower.
Both of these floor plans not only exemplify the modern and spacious villa homes that line the streets of Boulder Creek — they also show the talent of and commitment to quality from the community’s building team, which includes Blue Dot Design and Build, Prairie Homes, and New Mark Homes.
Rob Lacy and Ann Ring market Boulder Creek for Weichert, Realtors Welch & Company and said it’s been wonderful to watch homes evolve based on factors including buyer input.
“All of our builders have an ongoing focus on improving their floor plans, fixtures and finishes,” Lacy said. “Recent changes include larger owner’s suites, additional finished lower-level space that can accommodate a range of uses, and the inclusion of high-efficiency furnaces to help keep utility costs reasonable.”
These exciting updates are in addition to the impeccable details that already enhance each Boulder Creek floor plan. Kitchens, for example, include gas cooktops, vented exhaust hoods, quartz countertops, built-in ovens, large islands, and walk-in pantries.
Main levels include two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Sizable owners’ suites include double sinks in the bathroom, as well as a Euro-style shower with built-in bench and available zero-entry.
In addition to several move-in ready villa homes available now, Ring and Lacy said five more villa homes will be complete this summer. That now brings Boulder Creek to 50 percent built-out, a milestone that especially benefits prospective buyers.
“People now have a better sense of the community — we have an established group of residents here and it’s easy to understand what the neighborhood will look like,” Ring said. “Yet there are also still homesites available, so if prospective buyers prefer to build a custom villa, they can.”
Each twin villa home in Boulder Creek Villas is carefully designed to offer privacy with features that include side- and front-entry garages, as well as off-set front elevations and covered back decks or patios. That way, homeowners enjoy their preferred amount of seclusion while also knowing they have neighbors nearby. Residents can also opt for a wrought-iron fence, which is especially ideal for pet owners. The community’s provided maintenance includes lawn care inside the fence, a welcome departure from maintenance-provided standards elsewhere.
Speaking of provided maintenance, Boulder Creek Villas residents also receive snow removal, roof and gutter repair and replacement, exterior paint, and access to the recreation-focused community activities center, which opened in 2021. Amenities include a clubhouse with a full kitchen, ample seating space and a fireplace. Ring says several homeowners regularly host social groups in the fully appointed space, giving new residents some appealing options to get to know their neighbors and pursue their interests. Boulder Creek Villas also hosts a number of community events throughout the year, including a neighborhood block party.
Additional amenities include an outdoor kitchen and fireplace, a swimming pool, a pickleball court, a putting green, a playground, open green space, and a soccer field. Pickleball fans, take note: Boulder Creek is home to an active pickleball community, so you’ll have plenty of competition!
In addition, Boulder Creek Villas is enveloped by a walking trail that winds along Coffee Creek and through an Olathe Streamway park, the perfect way to enjoy the surrounding scenery. And Boulder Creek Villas is wired for 1-gigabit fiber optic high-speed Internet service and also recently added Google Fiber service.
The community’s prime location at 169th Place and Mur-Len Road puts homeowners within minutes of shopping, services (including dry cleaning, a grocery store, and a home improvement store), dining and highway access. Boulder Creek Villas is served by the award-winning Spring Hill School District and is close by Woodland Spring Middle School, which opened in 2019.
