Overland Park new homes

With the economic slow down, even the oustanding city of Overland Park has witnessed a slow down in new home construction.

Current new home subdivision choices in Overland Park include

• Atwood Place
• Bluestem
• Chapel Hill
• Coffee Creek Crossing
• Colton Lakes
• Hampton Place
• Highland Acres
• Links at Lionsgate
• Mills Farm
• Polo Fields
• Stonegate Reserve
• Summerwood Estates
• Waters Edge
• Wilshire Farms
• Woods at Colton Lake
• Wyngate

Mills Farm and Wilshire Farms both have a very strong amenity package with a plethora of things for people to do.

Bluestem and Wyngate have both been through a recent face lift. Bluestem has larger lots and a great deal of activity going on. Wyngate has recently become a Rodrock community and sales are on the rise.

If you liked wooded lots Coffee Creek Crossing is a smart choice as some lots back to parkland.

Enjoy train watching? Waters Edge is the place for you.

Local Kansas City Florist - Ranchview Floral and Interiors

(helps me out when I needed some brownie points at home)

Ranchview Floral, a floral shop in Overland Park, well, OK, not just a floral shop, they have bazillion other things too like cards to go with the flowers, cute books, and lots of great gift items.

I wanted to perk up my wife's spirits ( I don't remember what I did, but it was definately my fault ). So I stopped by the florist at 95th and Nall. The new shipment had just arrived, so they were incredibly fresh flowers. I asked for some Gerbera daisies (thats Gerbera not Gerber - thank you spell check) and was impressed with how many I got. My lovely wife was too. As I was waiting for the arrangement to be finished, I browsed the store. Tons of interior furnishings. I have been in real estate for almost 16 years and finally discovered where some of the top decorators get their stuff. Honey, if you read this, the desk I want is in the lower level towards the south wall. They had to wipe my drool off it. :) If you have browsed the local new home subdivisions and builder models you will recognize the quality items here.

There was a nice selection of cards, Hallmark and others, I think. I got one with a turtle saying 'sorry if I snapped'. And a book of funny mom-style quotations. My lovely wife was happy and thus, so was I.

Ranchview is located at 3885 West 95th Street in Overland Park KS. Its located in the Ranch Mart South shoppin center on the South East side of Nall and Mission Road.

p.s. We left on vacaction 4 days after and the fresh flowers were still so beautiful, we had Mom-in-law take them home with her. Double duty good hubby points!

p.p.s. I knew I had a photo of them :)

Relocating to Greater Kansas City-Olathe KS offers

Olathe: Hard pronunciation. Easy living.

Oh-LAY-thĕ is just one of those places that makes you say: "Oh wow!" Number 11 on Money magazine's 2008 "100 Best Places to Live in the U.S.", this city seduces you with historic sites (it was a stop on the Oregon Trail), picturesque homes, tree-lined streets and scenes Norman Rockwell couldn't have painted better himself. It's the fourth largest city in the greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area, and the 24th fastest growing city in the nation. (Must be all that publicity from Money.) What this means is you should probably move here soon before the lots run out. And did I mention there's actual prairie grass?

• Symphony Hills
• Cedar Creek
• Highlands of Kensington
• Prairie Point
• Nottington Creek
• Fairfield at Heritage Park
