About Persimmon Hill
Persimmon Hill at a closer look
Persimmon Hill sits in western Olathe, Kansas, in the 66061 ZIP, and was built out in numbered plats over roughly four decades. The original Persimmon Hill declaration was recorded with Johnson County in July 1978 by Bleakley Development Co., and later plats (recent listings cite Persimmon Hill V and Persimmon Hill IX) carried construction through 2019. Today it is a resale neighborhood with an unusually full amenity package for its era. The figures below draw on Persimmon Hill’s own recent Heartland MLS records; where the sample is small, we say so.
Why buyers look here
Persimmon Hill offers something that is hard to find in an established, moderately priced Olathe neighborhood: a real amenity package. Lots are larger than in most newer subdivisions — recent listings run from roughly 8,800 to 15,600 square feet, with a median near 12,800 — and several sit on cul-de-sacs. Lake Olathe Park and Prairie Center Park are both a short distance away. HOA dues change over time, so we do not post them as current; we confirm the amount and pull the HOA documents for any home before you write an offer.
Homes, builders & pricing
Because the neighborhood was built across four decades, there is no single builder; the newest homes date to the 2010s (Prieb Homes appears on a couple of the most recent records), while the core of the neighborhood dates to the 1980s and 1990s. Across the 16 recent Heartland MLS records the homes run from about 1,324 to 3,838 finished square feet (median roughly 2,255), with three to five bedrooms (most have four), two- or three-car garages, and a mix of front/back splits, two-story, side/side split and ranch plans, mostly with traditional exteriors.
Recent closings tracked through DataMaster — 12 Persimmon Hill sales between May 28 and August 24, 2026 — show a median sold price near $412,500 (range about $310,700 to $529,900), or roughly $189 per finished square foot. That is a directional figure given the small, recent sample.
HOA
Persimmon Hill First Homes Association is run by an elected volunteer board rather than a management company. Dues fund the community lake, the three pools, the tennis courts, the playground and the 35 acres of common greenspace and trails. The recorded declaration and deed restrictions are posted on the association’s website; the original 1978 declaration names Bleakley Development Co., Inc. as declarant. We can pull the recorded covenants for a specific home before you write an offer.
Note that Persimmon Pointe and Persimmon Court are separate, neighboring subdivisions with their own associations and their own listing records — figures on this page apply to Persimmon Hill only.

Setting & location
The neighborhood is in western Olathe, in the 66061 ZIP, close to Lake Olathe and Prairie Center Park. Lake Olathe Park is a 258-acre City of Olathe park around a 170-acre lake with about four miles of paved trail, a beach, a marina and disc golf; Prairie Center Park (555 N Olathe View Rd) is a 68-acre city park with ballfields, soccer fields, a fishing pond, disc golf and a 0.9-mile trail. The association describes shopping, dining and K-7, K-10 and I-35 as a short drive. It is a mature setting, with established trees and a mix of home eras within a few blocks.
Schools
Persimmon Hill is in Olathe USD 233. The homes association and the majority of the neighborhood’s Heartland MLS records list Prairie Center Elementary, Mission Trail Middle School and Olathe West High School; one recent record shows Olathe North, so attendance areas can vary at the edges. Confirm the current attendance area for a specific address with the district before relying on it.
Taxes & sales history
What it costs to own in Persimmon Hill

The chart shows the estimated monthly carry next to the citywide average.
Estimates only, not a tax quote. Sale and tax figures are Persimmon Hill closings recorded through Heartland MLS via DataMaster, May 28–August 24, 2026 (n=12; 11 with a tax amount recorded) — a small, recent sample, directional only. The median recorded tax in that sample was about $3,900 a year (roughly $325 a month) and the effective rate about 0.98% of sale price, below the Olathe citywide reference near 1.22%; no special assessment appeared on any of the 16 recent listings. The citywide comparison bar is the average annual carry (tax, assessments and HOA) across 1,397 Olathe sales from May to August 2026. Kansas reassesses annually, so the actual bill follows the county appraiser’s valuation.
