The Retreat at Maple Crest is located west of Metcalf on the north side of 159th Street in Overland Park. This maintenance provided community was the talk of the town during the recent Parade of Homes, judging by the enthusiastic crowds who toured the models, and the fact that it took first place honors in the Distinctive Plan & Design category. These homes offer something new, something different, something better than what homebuyers are used to seeing in this price range.

Starting from just the low $200's, the imaginatively designed, impeccably detailed townhomes of The Retreat at Maple Crest have open and airy floorplans...a wealth of included luxury features...a naturally beautiful setting... and a close-to-perfect location. Few new home communities can match that.

According to the community's Sales Manager, "most people who visit during the Parade are just coming in to see what's new. But we're seeing a good number of those same people are returning as serious homebuyers."

With interest rates still incredibly low, buyers need not compromise on the home of their dreams. And in this Johnson County community, there's no need to. One visit, and it's easy to see why. The setting is spectacular - rolling hills and towering trees surrounding the community. While it may feel private, inviting and worlds away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, The Retreat at Maple Crest is close to excellent schools, shopping and major commuting routes.


Townhomes are clustered around a large area of open greenspace, which has plenty of room to gather with your new neighbors and friends. Plans call for a community pool and cabana to be built as well. And, because all exterior grounds and landscaping are maintained by the homeowner's association, you'll have more free time to relax and enjoy your new lifestyle.

Every home has a private deck or balcony, to extend your living space outdoors, as well. And each includes a two-car garage and a lower level with natural light which can be used as storage space, or finished as an optional recreation room or bedroom.

Special attention has been paid to the sound insulation in, and around, each home. Our shared walls are designed by a sound engineer to minimize sound between homes.

One home has two sheets of one hour rated fire rated wall (totaling two hours). Then a layer of Certainteed sound barrier batt insulation. Adjoining this is two to three inches of dead air space. It is within the dead air space that the sound dissipates. The same wall system is built on the adjoining home. Please come to the sales office for a sound demonstration.

The list of luxury features includes many that aren't even offered as options by other builders. These include low-maintenance exteriors with
"smart" siding and stone accents, Canac kitchen cabinets, Certainteed tilt in-windows, Levelor blinds and GE appliances. The homes are also pre-wired for security systems. An upstairs laundry room is a welcome convenience, as are the set-back thermostats and remote garage door openers.


Dramatic architectural details add excitement everywhere - from the 11
foot vaulted ceilings to the abundance of windows. These are homes filled
with space, light and imagination!
