Custom Building Without the High Price Falcon Properties...

Relocators will find that Kansas City’s housing prices are already some of the most reasonable in the country. Topping that, custom build jobs at communities like the Falcon Properties can give you exactly what you want for less than you would expect.

Want to backup to a golf course? No problem. Looking for a walkout lot that backs to a forest or lake? They’ve got plenty of both. Need enough space for the kids to play and for you to get away and relax? Welcome home!

The Falcon Properties, marketed by Reece and Nichols, are a collection of upscale communities around the metro that feature high-quality homes that are reasonably priced in neighborhoods complete with pools, golf courses, clubhouses and more.

Developer Kaivan Ferzandi says most homes in the Falcon neighborhoods start in the lower $300,000s and include popular amenities like granite countertops, wrought iron spindles, hardwood floors and three-car garages. But, as Ferzandi adds, “We don’t have ‘standard features.’ It’s about how far you want to go to personalize the home.”

To get started finding your new dream home, read on to find out about a few of the Falcon Properties.


Falcon Valley
Falcon Valley continuously garners great press for its award-wining golf course. In the February 2010 issue of Golf World, it was named 14th out of the “25 Best 9-Hole Courses in America.” The championship course is only one of many amenities the community provides its residents as well as a beautiful clubhouse, sport court, pool and two lakes. Additionally, the neighborhood children attend top-rated schools: Manchester Park, Prairie Trail Junior High and Olathe Northwest.

Falcon Valley is located in an area of booming development as locals decide to move outside the city limits but maintain close access to several major highway arteries; K-10, I-435, I-35 and I-69 are literally just minutes away.

“Area residents have commented how glad they are that they’ve chosen Falcon Valley for their home and how convenient it is to get around the area,” notes Christyne Doherty, the onsite agent.

Homes range in price from the upper $300,000s to the upper $600,000s and will contain 320 homes when complete. There are prime home sites available, both golf course and interior, starting in the $60,000s to the mid $100,000s. Buyers are free to choose a builder of their liking. Call 913/780-9004 for more information.

Falcon Village
For buyers who want to downsize space but not downgrade amenities, Falcon Village may be the perfect solution. Inside the attached twin villas, buyers will find the best materials seen in luxury homes, such as crown molding, iron spindles and granite countertops. “We’ve found that people still want the high-end materials they’re used to, and they’re really surprised at the quality they see here,” says onsite agent Ken McDaniel. Moreover, because neighbors share a wall, the builder poured an extra-wide foundation wall to ensure quiet; R-38 insulation in the attic is another extra step the builder took to lower utility bills. All the work of lawn care, snow-removal and exterior painting is left to the maintenance crews. A shopping area within walking distance includes an eye doctor, dentist, bank, veterinary clinic, dry cleaners, liquor store, fitness center, tanning salon, grocery store and pharmacy.

Located between fairways seven and eight of the Falcon Valley Golf Course, residents still have the beautiful views of the greens and optional use of the pool for a nominal annual fee. Outdoor enthusiasts also will appreciate the City of Lenexa’s extensive biking trail that runs nearby.

Floor plans include reverse 1.5-story and ranch homes. Prices range from the mid $200,000s to $300,000s. For more information, call 913/780-9699.

Falcon Lakes, Falcon Lakes Villas and The Fairways at Falcon Lakes
Falcon Lakes is a showplace of natural beauty embracing rolling terrain, wooded retreats and a 54-acre lake. Homes starting in the low $300,000s surround the 18-hole championship golf course, designed by Carter Morrish of Morrish and Associates. Amenities include tennis and basketball courts and a large swimming pool. Many high-quality home builders are available, or buyers may use their own with the approval of the developer.

The community’s builders are ready and willing to be flexible with materials and floor plan layout, resulting in a variety of styles — and price points. Walk-out lots and golf course lots start in the $60,000s, and golf course and lake lots peak in the $90,000s.

“One of the great things about Falcon Lakes is the opportunity to build at any price point,” says onsite agent April Jackson. “With such diversity in price, Falcon Lakes is an opportunity for almost any buyer.”

Falcon Lakes Villas is a maintenance-provided community, which includes lawn care and snow removal, with homes starting in the low $300,000s and up. The Fairways are built on golf course, walk-out and treed lots and feature a variety of floor plans from the low $300,000s. According to Jackson, it’s an excellent price point in a golf course community.

In addition to the luxury of home, residents enjoy the luxury of seclusion. Falcon Lakes is located in Basehor, Kan., just 4.5 miles north of I-70 along K-7 at Hollingsworth Road on the west side of K-7. Call 913/724-5400 for details.
