Riverstone Valley has one thing many new home communities in Overland Park don’t have right now—inventory. It’s not just dirt roads and signs.

Woodmyre gives you the feel of a private, custom-home neighborhood—but with the amenities and builder lineup you’d normally see in much larger communities. With just 85 homesites, it’s quiet, elevated, and tucked away from the busy corridors, yet still minutes from top-rated Blue Valley schools and major thoroughfares.
Construction is already underway, and future plans include a pool, pavilion, sports court for pickleball and basketball, and even a half-size soccer field—amenities that are almost unheard of in a community this size. When you combine that with larger lots, a proven group of builders, and a limited window to get in early, Woodmyre becomes a rare opportunity in South Overland Park.
