About Arbor Ridge
Arbor Ridge at a closer look
Arbor Ridge is De Soto’s largest active new-home community — a master-planned neighborhood on the western edge of Johnson County, spread across more than 30 rolling acres of green space and wooded areas off Laramie Street and 85th Street. Homes began closing here in 2018, and the plan calls for 132 single-family homes, 40 townhomes and 20 villas, so new construction is still underway.
Why buyers love Arbor Ridge
Arbor Ridge gives De Soto buyers something the town has not had much of: real choice. Four builders work in the community, and the plan mixes single-family homes, townhomes and villas, so one neighborhood serves first-time buyers, move-up buyers and downsizers alike.
It sits along the K-10 corridor between Kansas City and Lawrence, minutes from De Soto’s parks, community center, Sunflower ball fields and aquatic center.
