A Fantastic Fall & Exciting Developments for Cottonwood Canyon


It’s hard to believe we’re at the end of October and that the holidays are just around the corner!  For many of us, we’re looking forward to settling in to our homes for the cooler weather and hosting gatherings for family and friends.  Here at Cottonwood Canyon, many are gaining that sense of excitement as they warm up next to the fireplace for the first time in their newly constructed home.  

Whether you’re new to hearing about Cottonwood Canyon, have visited our Lenexa golf course community in the past, or currently live in your custom built home on our beautiful acreage; we wanted to share an exciting update on our community.

We recently joined in on The Parade of Homes and hosted around 1,000 visitors that toured our model homes and premium lots!  For two weeks, September 29th through October 14th, we saw people from all over the Kansas City metro area who were interested in what’s taking place at Cottonwood Canyon.  We even had interested buyers from Wichita and Topeka who are considering relocating to our stunning location in order to take advantage of the peaceful and well appointed lifestyle that Cottonwood Canyon has to offer.

One of the most alluring factors to living at Cottonwood Canyon is the ability to design the home of your dreams!  Those looking to retire in this private golf course community, or those who are finally able to create the home they’ve always envisioned for themselves, are eager to meet with our respected builders to talk through the possibilities.  

In fact, our price reduction on lots in The Village community, from $135K to $99K has sparked even more interest.  New lot reservations and contracts are in the works for those planning to build in Cottonwood Canyon in the spring!  

People have found that the fantastic lot prices, ideal Lenexa location, stunning backdrop of the Golf Club of Kansas, working with renown builders and the lowest maintenance plan in the area (consisting of snow and trash removal and lawn care) is an opportunity well worth the investment.  

If visions of living in Cottonwood Canyon are dancing in your head as we near the holiday season; please let us know!  We would be happy to show you around our sprawling, serene location and talk with you about designing your custom home.

Please feel free to contact us today to get started!

What to Look for When Buying a Home & Why Cottonwood Canyon is the Ideal Choice!


Buying a home is a large decision and one that needs to be weighed carefully.  There are a wide variety of factors that play into the home buying process such as location, cost, wants and needs.  As The Cottonwood Canyon Community Team, our goal is to help you not only discover the stunning golf course community of Cottonwood Canyon, but to be a trusted resource for you as you consider buying or building a custom home in our serene setting.

There are quite a few things buyers look for when they look at homes on the Lenexa Real Estate market, but we wanted to focus on five of the main factors.  These will help you hone in on finding the home that you’ll enjoy for years to come while also highlighting why Cottonwood Canyon could very well be the perfect choice for you!

1. Curb Appeal- This is the first thing you see when you pull up to a home and is oftentimes indicative of how the seller cared for their home.  If the outside looks unkempt, it’s very possible the inside wasn’t maintained very well either.  Here at Cottonwood Canyon, we have a few model homes that are for sale that boast some of the best designed landscaping in Lenexa.  Of course you’ll find the beautiful Golf Club of Kansas an ideal backdrop for your home, but whether you build or buy a Cottonwood Canyon home; you’ll enjoy eye catching curb appeal all year long since lawn care is included in this great community! 

2. Layout and Space-  Know your goals for the home, whether it’s your goal to downsize or you want to use your Cottonwood Canyon home for hosting family and friends. Floor plan, along with the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, play a role in how comfortable and efficient your home is for you.  Our experienced builders will be sure to walk with you through the various aspects of what you want in your home to ensure it’s the custom home of your dreams!

3. Location & Views- It’s often said that location is key, and that’s very true!  You can always make changes to the interior and exterior of your home, making it look exactly as you would like, but you cannot move your home to a new location. Be sure that the location you choose matches your desires for your view and proximity to amenities.  Our communities, The Lake or The Village, each has its own set of perks so feel free to ask us more about each one to choose which Cottonwood Canyon community best fits your needs and style.  

4. Kitchen- For many, the kitchen is the “heart of the home” so you want to know you enjoy the space!  Our model homes have state of the art appliances and finishes that will have you looking for an excuse to spend time in this well loved room.  Or, pick out the exact kitchen you’ve always wanted by building your custom home

5. Finishes-  The details of a home are what truly make a home stand out and gives that sense of quality.  Our Cottonwood Canyon builders have experience in designing exquisite homes and can walk you through the entire process, even down to the last finish!  Want to see an example of their work?  Take a tour of one of our model homes today!

We hope these tips give you a greater insight into what to look for in a home and why Cottonwood Canyon could be the ideal place for you to settle into for years to come!  If you have questions about our models homes for sale or would like to learn more about building your custom home in Cottonwood Canyon; please contact us today!
