Cedar Ridge West — De Soto, KS

Cedar Ridge West is an early-2000s single-family neighborhood in De Soto, Kansas (Johnson County, De Soto USD 232), built on standard suburban lots. It is fully built out, and its recurring cost of ownership is straightforward: property tax, with no HOA dues and no special assessments in the sales record.

Why buyers look here

Cedar Ridge West appeals to buyers who want a settled, walk-in-ready De Soto neighborhood without acreage upkeep or association rules. The 17 residential sales recorded over the last ten years (Sept 2016–Aug 2026) show homes built between 1997 and 2004 on lots around a quarter acre (median about 0.23 acre).

The cost side is clean. None of the 17 sales carried an HOA due, and none carried a special assessment, so the recurring carry is essentially property tax alone. The homes also tend to offer finished lower levels, giving more usable space than the above-grade footprint suggests.

Homes, builders & pricing

Homes here were built in a tight window — 1997 to 2004, median build year around 2000 — so the neighborhood reads as a cohesive early-2000s subdivision rather than a mix of eras. Median finished area in the sales record was about 2,440 square feet, of which roughly 1,784 was above grade, indicating finished basements are common. Four bedrooms was the typical count (range three to five).

Over the ten-year window the median sale price was $329,900, with sales ranging from $232,500 to $502,000. The six sales since 2023 carried a higher median, near $409,000, but that is a small, directional sample and should be read as a trend indicator rather than a firm value.

The MLS attaches almost no builder information to these sales — only a single record names a builder (Veeder Homes) — so we are not publishing a builder roster for Cedar Ridge West. If the builder of a specific home matters to you, we can pull the county property record for that address.

Homeowners association

None of the 17 residential sales recorded for Cedar Ridge West over the last ten years carried HOA dues, so there is no evidence of an active homeowners association collecting fees here. That keeps the recurring carry simple.

Even where no dues are collected, a subdivision can still have recorded covenants or deed restrictions. We do not publish those documents on this page; if you want to review any covenants that apply to a specific Cedar Ridge West address, we can request the recorded plat and restrictions for you.

Setting & surroundings

Cedar Ridge West sits on the northwest side of De Soto in Johnson County, with access to the K-10 corridor toward Shawnee, Lenexa and Olathe to the east and Lawrence to the west. It is a residential subdivision, so its appeal is the homes and lots themselves rather than shared amenities.

We have not verified neighborhood amenities such as a pool or trail system for Cedar Ridge West and therefore do not claim any. If that matters to your decision, we will confirm what is actually available before you tour.
