Boulder Creek — Olathe, KS

Boulder Creek is a newer master-planned community on the far southwest edge of Olathe, Kansas, at 169th Place and Mur-Len in the 66062 ZIP. Developed by GRATA Development, it pairs single-family homes in Boulder Estates with free-standing, maintenance-provided villas in The Enclave, wrapped around a shared amenity package — pool, clubhouse, pickleball and walking trails. Homes have been built here from 2018 onward, and new construction is still being released. The figures below draw on Boulder Creek’s own recent Heartland MLS closings; where the sample is small, we say so.

Why buyers look here

Buyers are drawn to Boulder Creek for new construction paired with resort-style shared amenities and a choice of product. Boulder Estates offers single-family homes, while The Enclave provides free-standing villas with lawn care and snow removal handled by the association — a lock-and-leave option without giving up the pool, clubhouse, pickleball court, putting green and walking trails that serve the whole community. Because the neighborhood is still releasing homes, floor plans and finishes reflect current-year construction rather than resales of older stock.

Homes, builders & pricing

Boulder Creek is a GRATA Development community, and homes are built by a group of builders rather than a single one. The builders currently listed for the community include Blue Dot Design & Build, Calyn Homes, Gabriel Homes, Gianni Homes, Harlow Homes and SAB Homes; SAB builds the maintenance-provided villas in The Enclave. Across recent Heartland MLS records the homes run from about 1,692 to 3,549 finished square feet (median roughly 2,606), with three to five bedrooms, mostly traditional exteriors and three-car garages on city lots.

Recorded year-built spans 2018 through 2026, so the community was established around 2018 and remains under active construction. Recent closings tracked through DataMaster — 14 Boulder Creek sales between May 29 and August 27, 2026 — show a median sold price near $662,000, a directional figure given the small, recent sample. Current availability and pricing move with each new release; we can pull the live builder inventory for a specific plan or lot.

HOA

Boulder Creek has two dues tiers, because it has two products. Single-family homes in Boulder Estates pay roughly $900 a year, and those dues fund the community amenities — the pool, clubhouse with full kitchen, outdoor kitchen, putting green, pickleball court, playground and walking trails. The free-standing villas in The Enclave pay more — on the order of $3,180 to $3,276 a year, about $273–$274 a month — because their dues also cover building and lawn maintenance, roof repair and replacement, and snow removal, on top of the same amenities. There is no single dues figure for the community; the right number depends on whether you buy a single-family home or a villa. Recorded covenants are held by the association and county, not posted here, and we can retrieve them for a specific home.

Setting & location

Boulder Creek sits at 169th Place and Mur-Len on the far southwest edge of Olathe, in the 66062 ZIP, close to Heritage Park and Lone Elm Park and with quick access to I-35, US-69 and US-169. Although the mailing address is Olathe, the community is within the Spring Hill USD 230 school district — a common pattern for far-south Olathe addresses. It is a newer-development setting: streets, sidewalks and amenities are current-construction rather than mature.

Schools

Boulder Creek is served by Spring Hill USD 230, not Olathe USD 233, despite the Olathe mailing address. Across the community’s Heartland MLS records the assignment shown is Timber Sage Elementary, Woodland Spring Middle School and Spring Hill High School. School assignments can vary by address and year, so confirm the current attendance area for a specific home with the district before relying on it.

What it actually costs to own here

Beyond principal and interest, the recurring cost of owning in Boulder Creek is property tax plus HOA dues — and the dues depend on whether you buy a single-family home or a maintenance-provided villa. The chart breaks the estimated monthly carry into property tax and HOA for each product so the difference is visible.

Estimates only, not a tax quote. Sale and tax figures are Boulder Creek closings recorded through Heartland MLS via DataMaster, May 29–August 27, 2026 (n=14) — a small, recent sample, directional only. The effective property-tax rate in that sample runs about 1.37%, above the Olathe citywide reference near 1.22%; no special assessment appeared in any of the 14 sales. HOA figures reflect the two dues tiers (single-family about $900/yr; villas about $3,180–$3,276/yr). Kansas reassesses annually, so the actual bill follows the county appraiser’s valuation.
