The future state-of-the-art amenity center— repurposed from an existing horse barn— will further elevate the Heritage Ranch amenity package while paying tribute to the land’s storied legacy.
Conveniently located in South Johnson County and within the award-winning Olathe School District, Heritage Ranch is perfect for busy professionals, growing families, and anyone seeking a vibrant, connected lifestyle. Its proximity to highways, top medical facilities, and local attractions— including the Overland Park Arboretum, Prairiefire Entertainment District, Scheels Soccer Complex, and Bluhawk—makes it a hub of convenience and recreation.

BUILDING DREAMS
Sundance Ridge Offers Unparalleled Amenities, New Homes, and the Best Schools
When the team at Rodrock Development crafted Sundance Ridge, the goal was to make the community nothing short of exceptional: diverse floor plans; the most popular amenities; the state’s most coveted school district. What resulted is everything the team hoped for and more, making Sundance Ridge the most distinctive neighborhood in Johnson County.
The community encompasses in excess of 500 acres and comprises three neighborhoods—Big Sky, Red Fox Run, and Archers Landing— which are carved out of breathtaking terrain. Yet it’s minutes from shopping, entertainment, and restaurants.
The crown jewel in its list of extraordinary amenities is a multimillion-dollar clubhouse. The main floor feels like a fine hotel lobby, complete with a marble-topped wet bar and 585-square-foot deck overlooking the resort-style pool below. The lower-level, 716-squarefoot fitness area is outfitted with treadmills, Peloton bikes, elliptical machines, weights, and more.
In addition to a fantastic playground, another unique offering is Sundance Ridge’s multiple pocket parks—little treasures of green space intended to create quiet respites throughout the community. Additional amenities will include a fully equipped indoor gymnasium, pickleball courts, bocce-ball court, and more.
And importantly for discerning families, Sundance Ridge is in the award-winning Blue Valley School District, with a future state-of-theart elementary school approved for the neighborhood. For more information call 913-441-4111, email SundanceRidge@rodrock.com or visit rodrock.com/communities/overland-park-ks/sundance-ridge.
