Lenexa's Dorset Village at Manchester Park:


Home Swap or 50% Off Buyer Upgrade Programs Attracting Buyers

Two innovative programs are attracting homebuyers to Dorset Village at Manchester Park, Rodrock Development's new Lenexa community: the unique Home Swap program, or the option of shaving 50% off of buyer-specified upgrades (up to $25,000 worth). Dorset Village at Manchester Park, with homes priced from the $270,000s to the $320,000s, is one of the very few Lenexa communities east of K-7 in this price range. It's located .7 miles east of K-7 at Prairie Creek Road and 97th Street.

Exclusive builder Rodrock Homes created the innovative Home Swap option to help buyers of select homes make a move now while avoiding the hassles and delays that can accompany selling an existing home. "For the right buyer, the home swap option is a great choice," says Anita Hadel, community manager.

The other option, Rodrock Homes' Make it Yours! program, helps buyers realize the home of their dreams by saving a significant 50% on buyer-specified upgrades (up to $25,000 worth). This offer is available on any Dorset Village home, including new construction, and can be used for virtually anything, including lower level interior finishing.

All of exclusive builder Rodrock Homes' new two-story and atrium-split plans feature four bedrooms, 3-1/2 baths and 2- and 3-car garages (depending on home site). Depending on the plan, features may also include expansive nine-foot first-floor ceilings, luxurious master suites, generous kitchens with walk-in pantry, granite-topped island and built-in buffet, Boise Cascade joist floors, wrought iron stairway spindles, master suite featuring Euro-style walk-in shower, and a Rodrock Homes Warranty. Floor plans and a list of available homes are posted on the developer's web site at rodrock.com.

"Dorset Village is a peaceful little corner of the world and an outdoor lovers' dream," says Hadel. Future walking trails will one day link the to the trail systems of the newly opened Lake Lenexa complex, which is two blocks away, and Johnson County's pristine Shawnee Mission Park and its many acres of recreational amenities, which is only five minutes away. Major interstate highway access is three minutes away.

With only 40 home sites, Dorset Village at Manchester Park is surely a small community by today's standards. Only twenty-six choice home sites remain, some backing to dedicated woodlands, some featuring walkout lower levels, many on cul-de-sac streets.

The newer Manchester Elementary School is located right in the community. Dorset Village is also served by nearby Olathe School District Schools, including Prairie Trail Middle School and Olathe Northwest High School.

"Homebuyers have the added assurance and security of knowing that Rodrock Development is a proven name in Johnson County residential real estate," says Hadel. "For more than thirty years, the locally and family owned company has successfully developed literally dozens of successful new-home communities. Communities they developed ten, fifteen, twenty years ago are distinctively standing the test of time," says Hadel.

The community Welcome Center and furnished model is open 10:00 to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday; Sunday noon to 5:00 p.m.  The Welcome Center is .7 miles east of K-7 on 95th St. (Prairie Star Parkway), south on Prairie Creek Road, west on 97th Terrace. Or, contact community manager Anita Hadel for program details at 913.390.7900.
