Only five new homes and one homesite remain in The Willows’ Willow Grove and The Preserve neighborhoods in Johnson County
The Willows, a Covenant-Rodrock Homes Community, offers distinctive new homes for all stages of life and classic Johnson County living. So, it comes as no surprise that only four homes under construction and one homesite remain in the Willow Grove neighborhood and one move-in ready estate home is available in The Preserve.

Amy Maher and Brenda Youness have overseen this sought-after community at 147th Terrace and Pflumm since it launched several years ago and attribute its success to builder quality, wide variety of floors plans, amenities, and location.
“There are many benefits to purchasing a home in The Willows,” Youness said. “For the available homes in Willow Grove and The Preserve, discerning buyers can choose from a reverse plan and several 1.5-story plans by three of the area’s top builders.”
Award-winning school district, prime location. Maher notes the interest for new homes in this part of Johnson County appeals to buyers eager to settle in the Blue Valley School District. There is also proximity to the dining, shopping, and entertainment scene, including the new Fareway Meat Market, a boutique shopping experience within walking distance of The Willows.
“This isn’t a one-size-fits-all neighborhood, but one with a unique look because of the variety of top-notch builders and diversity of floor plans,” she said. “Even homeowners who are empty nesters with grown children like investing in a home located in one of the country’s top-rated school districts. Prospective homeowners are sure to find a place in The Willows that enhances their lifestyle.”
Maher points out The Willows’ community amenities like a walking trail, zero entry pool and covered pavilion and a well-equipped playground and easy access to nearby public walking and biking trails and parks. “This is an excellent location in Johnson County for active people who enjoy the outdoors,” she said.
ReeceNichols real estate agent Brent Sledd, a 41-year industry veteran, keeps The Willows at the top of his list of options for clients several key reasons.
“The convenient location is ideal — The Willows is the closest-in new homes community in this coveted part of Johnson County, which also happens to be in the Blue Valley School District,” he said. “The homes are at a desirable price point, too.”
Sledd likes The Willows’ hand-selected roster comprised of five of the area’s most renowned home builders, including Bickimer Homes, Covenant Custom Homes, James Engle Custom Homes LLC, New Mark Homes and Rodrock Homes that has given the community a curated vibe.
“I’ve sold several homes in The Willows and buyers are immediately attracted to the look and feel of the community,” Sledd said.
Willow Grove: Four homes under construction, one homesite available. Heather and Bill Oliver consider themselves fortunate to have found the perfect floor plan for their busy lifestyle in Willow Grove. Residents of Johnson County for 24 years, it was important for the couple to remain close to friends and live in the Blue Valley School District.
“We had outgrown our previous home and fell in love with the Haley by New Mark Homes because of the high quality of construction, the spacious, open and bright concept and front elevation,” Heather Oliver said. “The modern transitional design fits our aesthetic. We started our build in November 2022 and moved in during August.”
The Olivers, with three children and a grandson living at home, are thrilled with their new residence, surroundings and neighbors who have warmly put out the welcome mat for the family.
“There are plenty of children in the neighborhood for our grandson to play with,” Oliver said. “Some of the women even hosted pool parties this summer for incoming kindergartners to get acquainted and invited us before we moved in. It’s truly a combination of a great neighborhood and location. We will surely enjoy living here for many years.”
Homes for sale include the 1.5-story Anna with a modern aesthetic on a walkout homesite. The striking four-bedroom, 4.5-bath plan by Covenant Custom Homes is approximately 45 days from completion ($879,000). Covenant also has a walkout homesite backing to greenspace for a custom build.
Rodrock Homes has three homes under construction 60-90 days from move-in. Floor plans include two 1.5-story El Dorado II with four bedrooms and 3.5 baths on a level homesite ($839,526) and a walkout backing to greenspace ($885,740). The Rodrock reverse Aspen II is situated on a walkout homesite backing to greenspace and boasts main level living with a first-floor primary suite, three more bedrooms and three baths ($826,663).
“Buyers can still make interior and exterior paint, countertops, flooring, tile, and fixture selections on these homes.” Maher said.
The Preserve: The Willows estate neighborhood. Only one gorgeous home remains in this distinguished neighborhood — Bickimer Homes’ extraordinary side entry, 1.5 story Augusta with four bedrooms and 4.5 baths ($890,526).
“The Preserve is the answer for buyers wanting a larger property with an heirloom-quality home,” Youness said. “The Augusta won’t be on the market long, especially since it’s move-in ready.”
Willow Pointe: Maintenance-provided luxury villa community. If you’re looking for a quality, maintenance-provided villa, Willow Pointe has three move-in ready beauties with significant price drops and one ranch-style villa under construction.
“Willow Pointe has diverse floor plans that effortlessly blend life and style,” Youness said. “And we anticipate the three move-in ready villas, each a different plan by two renowned Johnson County builders who are ready to sell, will catch the eye of villa buyers scouring the market.”
Maher agrees, adding, “Demand is high for private, upscale villa living in a premier setting and we’re excited that Willow Pointe resonates with buyers. People like the maintenance-free environment, with tasks like mowing and shoveling no longer on their to-do list.”
Availability going fast: Visit The Willows today. With a limited number of new homes, villas and homesite remaining in the three neighborhoods of The Willows, Maher encourages interested buyers to act now.
“Buying a home in this community — whether it’s in Willow Grove, The Preserve or the maintenance-provided villa neighborhood of Willow Pointe — represents an investment in your family’s future,” she said. “It’s a fast-moving real estate market, and The Willows is nearing completion — visit this weekend or next week to view our inventory.”
