Why buyers look here

Woodland Hills is a newer west-Olathe address with a short commute profile — it sits off Woodland Road just south of K-10 and College Boulevard, which puts the highway on ramp within a couple of minutes without putting the highway in the back yard. The neighborhood is a Prieb Homes community, so the housing stock is consistent rather than a patchwork of lot-program builders. Dues are deliberately low — about $400–$415 a year — which buys a pool, a playground and walking trails without the maintenance-provided fee structure that pushes monthly carry up elsewhere in the city. The developer also positions the community near Stone Pillar Vineyard & Winery.

Homes, builders & pricing

This is a Prieb Homes community — 21 of the 25 MLS records with a builder named list Prieb Homes or Greg Prier Homes. A handful of homes were built by KC Builders & Design (3) and Hilmann Home Building (1). Prieb advertises base pricing in the upper $500s to $600s; actual closings run higher once upgrades and lot premiums are in.

Recorded homes run 2,349–3,828 total finished square feet (median 2,873), with up to about 3,300 square feet above grade and 3–5 bedrooms (median 5), mostly traditional plans. Lots run 8,351–18,141 square feet (median about 9,992) — so there is real variation, including some larger and treed sites. Build years span 2020 through 2026 (median 2025), and 14 of the 30 records in our pull were active listings, so new construction is still being released. Recent closings ran $570,000 to $848,400 with a median of $671,475 (n=16, May 4 – Aug 27, 2026 — a small sample, directional only).

HOA

Dues run about $400–$415 a year (annual billing, 29 of 30 records), covering walking trails and management alongside the pool and playground. That is a low figure for a community with a pool, and it is the main reason the monthly carry here stays close to the Olathe average despite the price point.

One caution: some listings additionally note lawn maintenance or snow removal in the dues. That varies by product and by address — it is not community-wide, so do not assume a maintenance-provided arrangement from a single listing. Verify the dues and what they cover for the specific address.

Covenants and the current dues schedule are not posted on this site. Ask us and we will pull the recorded declaration and the current HOA statement for the address you are considering.

Setting & location

Woodland Hills sits near Woodland Road and 115th Terrace in west Olathe, ZIP 66061, just south of the K-10 and College Boulevard corridor. Community amenities are a swimming pool, a playground and walking trails. The surrounding area is western Johnson County — Stone Pillar Vineyard & Winery is the landmark the developer points to, and the K-10 access puts Lenexa, Lawrence and the west side of the metro within an easy drive.

Schools

Woodland Hills is in the Olathe School District (USD 233). MLS assignment is unanimous across all 30 records: Woodland Elementary, Prairie Trail Middle School and Olathe Northwest High School.

One correction worth having in writing: the community’s own website lists “USD 232,” which is wrong — USD 232 is the De Soto district. Woodland Hills is Olathe USD 233, confirmed by both the district boundary and the school names on every MLS record. Attendance areas are set by the district and can change — confirm for a specific address with USD 233 before you rely on it. We list district and school names as facts only and do not rate or rank schools.

What it actually costs to own here

In Woodland Hills closings, the effective property-tax rate ran about 1.28% (median; 1.20% mean) — around and slightly above the Olathe city-wide reference of roughly 1.22%. Median annual base tax was about $9,000, or $750 a month. Add the roughly $33-a-month dues and the all-in carry is about $783 a month, against an Olathe city average near $653.

Now the part you will not find on the builder’s site or the portals: 11 of the 30 listings in our pull carry a special assessment — a uniform $126 a year, about $10.50 a month. It shows on 2 of the 16 sold records in the sample. So a modest, uniform assessment applies to roughly a third of Woodland Hills addresses, not all of them. In dollars it is small. In diligence it matters, because it means you have to check the specific parcel rather than assume. We have not yet confirmed from county records whether it is a street or stormwater benefit district or what year it retires — ask us and we will pull it for the address you are considering.

Kansas reassesses annually, so the actual bill follows the county appraiser’s valuation for that year and the mill levies set by the taxing jurisdictions. These figures are directional from a small recent sample and are not a tax quote. Ask us for the current assessed value, levy and any special assessment on a specific address.
