This is one parade not to be missed—an opportunity to tour 19 distinctive Rodrock Homes in nine premier communities throughout Johnson County. Discover current trends in floor plans, home design and amenities to elevate your busy lifestyle during the 2015 Spring Parade of Homes. With a reputation for building outstanding homes in neighborly environments, Rodrock is at the top of many savvy parade-goers must-see lists. This season’s parade showcases a collection of beautifully appointed Rodrock models in the area’s most desirable locations, including the Blue Valley School and DeSoto school districts, convenient to the city’s best dining, shopping and entertainment options. And with prices ranging from $319,500 to more than $1 million, there’s something for everyone. Here’s the beginning of what you’ll find on the parade. BluHawk in south Overland Park is adjacent to three Blue Valley schools. Hills of Forest Creek is perfect for Shawnee-bound buyers looking for proximity to award-winning DeSoto schools and in-community access to the 17-mile Mill Creek Streamway Trail. In addition to extraordinary home designs, Wyngate in Overland Park boasts a paved nature trail and quiet intra-community roads, offering rare access to three award-winning Blue Valley schools. Best of all, Rodrock has done its homework, ensuring a plentiful inventory of designer-decorated models with up-to-date features for enhancing family living and entertaining. “We are dedicated to building affordable homes and communities with integrity,” said third-generation builder and Rodrock Homes President Brian Rodrock. “We are proud to offer diverse floor plans, attractive home sites, and an unwavering commitment to customer service.” Here’s a preview of what you’ll find on the Rodrock Homes 2015 Spring Parade route.
Community Spirit
Rodrock is synonymous with a legacy of building quality homes. Cues are taken from homeowners passionate not only about design, but also about the communities in which they raise children and make lifetime memories. The demand for the ideal location drives Rodrock to create communities of distinction where schools are nearby, private play areas are accessible and amenities such as sport courts, swimming pools, and walking trails are geared to family living. ReeceNichols real estate agent Kerwin Holloway, a marketing agent for Wyngate in Overland Park, says each Rodrock community has its own personality. “There are many things that make living in a Rodrock community, such as Wyngate or Summerwood, so special,” he says. “For example, Wyngate is the only Blue Valley community adjacent to a grade, middle and high school. I’ve had people purchase here because they want to send all of their children through school, without moving.” Holloway notes the sense of community found in a Rodrock neighborhood is an invisible but very real amenity. “Not only does our vast inventory of models have something for everyone, each community has a genuine neighborly feel,” he says. “You can’t put a price tag on that.”
Style Meets Function
Rodrock’s Spring Parade of Homes models include sparkling, designs with an emphasis on turnkey living and up-to-date features. Designers meticulously incorporate various on-trend elements, such as textured wallpaper, basket-weave tile, maple and walnut wood flooring, natural stone fireplaces and energy-efficient appliances, throughout the models. 
Each home is built with a craftsman’s attention to detail, and tour-goers can explore a variety of floor plans ranging from traditional to contemporary and transitional to rustic and eclectic. In addition, the wide variety of price points and communities help streamline the buying process. “People looking for a new home are juggling family, careers and leisure activities,” says Holloway. “They appreciate that Rodrock simplifies shopping by providing quality options to complement their lifestyle.” Choose from home sites overlooking water to secluded sites nestled amongst mature trees to homes situated along walking trails. And if you’re in the market for a top-to-bottom custom home, consider the Rodrock Custom Design Experience program, with complimentary design services available.
