Oak Manor Estates, De Soto, KS

Why buyers look here

The defining feature of Oak Manor Estates is space. Across the 19 residential sales recorded in the MLS over the last ten years (Sept 2016–Aug 2026), the median lot measured about 1.7 acres, with acreage running from roughly one acre to well over three. That is a different product from the quarter-acre subdivisions closer to De Soto’s core.

It is also a low-carry option. The median effective property-tax rate across those sales worked out to about 1.07% of sale price, below the norm for the wider Johnson County market, and none of the recorded sales carried a special assessment. For buyers who want acreage without a heavy annual tax and fee load, that combination is the draw.

Homes, builders & pricing

Homes in Oak Manor Estates were built across a wide span — the recorded sales date from 1969 to 2005 (median build year around 1980) — so the neighborhood mixes older ranch and split-level homes with later, larger builds. Median finished area in the sales record was about 2,450 square feet, roughly 1,900 of it above grade, and three bedrooms was the typical count (range three to five).

Over the full ten-year window the median sale price was $400,000, with individual sales ranging from $139,000 to $869,000 — a wide band that reflects the mix of home ages, sizes and acreage. More recent sales have trended higher: the nine sales since 2023 carried a median near $540,000, though that is a small, directional sample rather than a firm market value.

The MLS records do not attach a builder to these homes, which is typical for an acreage neighborhood built out largely before builder names were consistently captured. We have not published a builder roster for Oak Manor Estates because the data to support one is not in the record; ask us and we can pull the county property record for any specific address.

Homeowners association

There is no community-wide homeowners association evident in the sales record for Oak Manor Estates. Of the 19 residential sales over the last ten years, 14 recorded no HOA dues at all; the handful that did showed scattered and inconsistent amounts, from about $15 a month to a few hundred dollars a year, rather than a single uniform community due.

Because HOA status here appears to be property-specific rather than neighborhood-wide, treat dues as something to confirm on the individual home. If covenants or an association apply to a particular address, we can request the recorded documents for you rather than assuming what does or does not exist.

Setting & surroundings

Oak Manor Estates sits within De Soto in western Johnson County, with access to the K-10 corridor that connects De Soto toward Lenexa, Olathe and Lawrence. The neighborhood’s character comes from its lot sizes — large, private parcels — rather than shared community amenities.
