Hilltop Farms — Olathe, KS

Quick answer: Hilltop Farms is an Inspired Homes community in south Olathe, ZIP 66062, at 175th Street and Mur-Len Road, in Spring Hill USD 230 despite the Olathe address. Homes run 2,488–4,519 finished square feet with 4–6 bedrooms and a 3-car garage standard, on lots of roughly 0.22–0.43 acre — larger than most new Olathe communities. It opened for sale in April 2024 and is still releasing. Dues run $600–$690 a year and fund a real amenity set: pool with a kid’s cove and tanning ledge, cabana, playground, sand volleyball, basketball and two pickleball courts. The effective tax rate is about 1.19% — right at the Olathe average — and none of the 19 listings in our pull carried a special assessment.

Why buyers look here

Hilltop Farms is the amenity-heavy end of the south Olathe market, and it does not hide it. The pool has a kid’s cove, water features and a tanning ledge; there is a cabana, a playground, sand volleyball, basketball and two pickleball courts. That is a genuinely deep amenity set for a community this young, and the dues that fund it are still modest at $600–$690 a year — nothing like a maintenance-provided fee.

The second draw is the lots. At roughly 0.22 to 0.43 acre, these are noticeably larger than the quarter-acre-and-under standard across most of Olathe’s newest neighborhoods, and the homes on them are bigger too. The third is the tax picture: the effective rate sits right at the Olathe average with no special assessments in the sample — so the higher monthly cost here is about the house you’re buying, not a structural penalty on the address.

Homes, builders & pricing

Hilltop Farms is a single-builder community: Inspired Homes. All 19 MLS records in our pull name Inspired Homes as the builder, and inspired-homes.com is the community’s own site. That means a consistent product, one warranty to understand, and one design-center process rather than six.

Recorded homes run 2,488–4,519 total finished square feet with 4–6 bedrooms and a 3-car garage as standard, on lots of roughly 10,125–18,693 square feet (0.22–0.43 acre). Builder-advertised pricing runs $680,000 to $990,000. Build years in the data are 2025–2026 (median 2026) — this is brand-new stock, with 8 of the 19 records active at the time of our pull. Recent closings ran $650,000 to $1,005,346 with a median of $787,115 (n=11, May 13 – Aug 20, 2026 — a small sample, directional only).

One item to verify rather than assume: the builder announced luxury villa tri-plex homes anticipated for spring 2025. We have not confirmed that tier is actually selling, so treat it as announced, not available — ask us and we will check the current phase before you plan around it.

HOA

Dues run $600–$690 a year — most records in our pull are at $690 (14 of 19), with 5 at $600. What the dues cover varies a little by record: all community amenities and management appear on every one, and some also list trash pickup and curbside recycling.

Put that against what the money buys — pool, cabana, playground, sand volleyball, basketball, two pickleball courts, trails — and this is one of the better amenity-per-dollar ratios in the city. For contrast: Lakeview Ridge charges $250 a year and gives you trails and nothing else; Boulder Creek‘s villa tier runs over $3,000 a year because it is maintenance-provided. Hilltop Farms sits in between and is neither.

Verify the exact dues and inclusions for the specific address, and note that if the villa tier does come online its dues will almost certainly differ. Covenants and the current dues schedule are not posted on this site — ask us and we will pull the recorded declaration.

Setting & location

Hilltop Farms sits at the intersection of 175th Street and Mur-Len Road in south Olathe, ZIP 66062 — the same far-south growth corridor as Boulder Creek, a couple of miles west. Community amenities are a swimming pool with a kid’s cove, water features and a tanning ledge, a cabana, a playground, a sand volleyball court, a basketball court and two pickleball courts; the MLS amenities field also lists a clubhouse and trails. This is the edge of the metro’s southward expansion, which is worth knowing in both directions: newer everything, and more construction traffic and more change over the next several years than an established neighborhood would see.

Schools

Hilltop Farms carries an Olathe mailing address but is in the Spring Hill School District (USD 230), not Olathe USD 233. MLS assignment across the 19 records: Timber Sage Elementary (18 of 19), Woodland Spring Middle School and Spring Hill High School. The builder’s own site says Spring Hill Schools, which agrees.

This catches people out constantly in far-south Olathe — Boulder Creek is the same story. An Olathe address does not mean the Olathe district. Attendance areas are set by the district and can change; confirm for a specific address with USD 230 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 Hilltop Farms closings the effective property-tax rate ran about 1.19% (median) — essentially at the Olathe city-wide reference of roughly 1.22%. Median annual tax was about $9,000, or $750 a month. Add dues of roughly $58 a month and all-in carry is about $808 a month, against an Olathe city average near $653. 0 of the 19 listings in our pull carried a special assessment.

Here is the honest reading of that gap, and it matters: you pay more per month here because the homes are larger and the HOA funds real amenities — not because the tax rate is high. The rate is average. There is no benefit district running. Compare it to Lakeview Ridge at about $693 a month: that community’s tax rate is actually lower, but the real difference between the two is a $250-a-year trail-only HOA versus a $690-a-year amenity HOA on a bigger house. Decide which of those you actually want. The chart below puts both against the city average so you can see it directly.

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 and levy on a specific address.
