Discerning homebuyers have embraced the bucolic setting and creative design found in Summerwood Estates. This Rodrock Homes community is in Overland Park and located within the top-rated Blue Valley School District with easy access to 69 Highway from the new 159th Street ramps. The exclusive neighborhood boasts a private stocked fishing lake with fountain, kid-friendly sports court, more than two miles of nature trails, zero-depth entry lagoon-style pool with cabanas, scenic views and spacious home sites surrounded by more than 50 acres of natural green space. “Summerwood is far enough away from the city’s hectic hustle and bustle to feel like a special escape, yet is only a short distance from everything you need,” said Angela Fitzgerald, Summerwood community manager and a real estate agent with Weichert Realtor Welch & Company, LLC. “It’s a rare chance to own in a home in a truly exceptional neighborhood.” 
Summerwood’s reputation as a striking community boasting a family-friendly environment with bountiful open spaces and close proximity to desirable schools is well deserved. “Every element of Summerwood is well conceived,” Fitzgerald said, adding, “It’s a picture-perfect location—much more than a home, it’s a way of living.” Michelle Capek, a real estate agent with Weichert Realtors Graham-Welch, LLC, and a community manager at Summerwood, notes the neighborhood’s unique aspects attract buyers eager for generous home sites and homes with quality craftsmanship. “As one of the area’s most sought-after new home communities, Rodrock Homes’ Summerwood has it all. It’s a lovely setting to enjoy spectacular sunsets, terrific amenities and a welcoming ambience,” she said. The community is one of 10 Rodrock communities on the Fall Parade of Homes tour, which ends today. Rodrock has 22 homes entered in the Parade, representing a diverse collection of stylish, innovative floor plans.
Private retreat ambience
Summerwood Estates, the final phase of this amenities-rich community characterized by abundant open spaces, was showcased during September’s Artisan Home Tour with a trio of exquisitely detailed custom-built homes.
The Treviso by Covenant Homes focuses on family-style living. The reverse story-and-a- half Quintessa by J.S. Robinson Fine Homes features transitional design with modern accents for gracious living and entertaining. And the Telluride by Rodrock Homes is a modern mountain-inspired residence that defines rustic elegance. 
For the Fall Parade of Homes, the Home Builders Association has recognized The Telluride as Pick of the Parade and awarded it with second place as a Distinctive Design.
The Quintessa was also honored with a Distinctive Plan and Design award and runner-up for Pick of the Parade. “These unique homes were extremely popular with parade-goers during the Artisan Home Tour and equally so during the Fall Parade,” said Brian Rodrock, president of Rodrock Homes and a third-generation homebuilder. “The heirloom estate homes exude the essence of artisan, and certainly resonated with people. We’re proud to have some of the area’s most well-regarded and high-profile homebuilders here.” Punctuated by a private retreat ambience, Summerwood Estates is a jewel in Rodrock’s thoughtfully curated collection of new homes communities throughout Johnson County.
