South Hampton — Olathe, KS

South Hampton sits in south Olathe, Kansas, in the 66062 ZIP, around 161st to 164th Streets between Mahaffie and Church Streets, and was built in numbered plats in the second half of the 1990s (recent listings cite the 2nd and 4th Plats). It is a resale neighborhood with a modest, active homes association rather than a pool-and-clubhouse HOA. The figures below draw on South Hampton’s own recent Heartland MLS records; where the sample is small, we say so.

Why buyers look here

South Hampton is a lower-carry way into south Olathe: late-1990s homes in the $275,000 to $460,000 range on recent sales, an HOA that costs $155 a year and spends it on entrances, lighting, landscaping and the neighborhood’s own park, and no special assessments on any recent listing. The association keeps Hampton Park — a play area, a large pavilion with picnic tables and open green space — and the park connects to the walking and bike path that runs through Olathe and neighboring cities. Madison Place Elementary can be reached on foot without crossing a main road, per the association.

Homes, builders & pricing

The neighborhood was built by several builders in the late 1990s (Richard Mather Building appears on two recent records; most builder fields are blank). Across the 15 recent Heartland MLS records the homes run from about 1,476 to 2,633 finished square feet (median roughly 1,825), with three or four bedrooms (most have three), two-car garages throughout, and a mix of front/back split, split-entry, side/side split and two-story plans with frame, board-and-batten and wood- or vinyl-sided exteriors. Lots run from about 7,600 to 10,400 square feet (median near 8,600), and wood privacy fences are common.

Recorded year-built spans 1995 through 2001. Recent closings tracked through DataMaster — 14 South Hampton sales between June 4 and August 21, 2026 — show a median sold price near $400,000 (range about $275,000 to $462,000), or roughly $226 per finished square foot; a directional figure given the small, recent sample.

HOA

South Hampton Homes Association is managed by Home Association Solutions, LLC of Overland Park. The 2026 annual assessment is $155, unchanged from the prior year, payable by check or money order to the management company. The association says dues are used to maintain the common areas — monument maintenance, lighting, landscaping, mowing and watering — and to fund neighborhood improvements such as perimeter fencing, monuments and trees, plus neighborhood events. A five- to seven-member board is elected each November, with a social committee and an architectural committee.

South Hampton is a deed-restricted community: additions and changes to the exterior architectural design require written approval from the association before work begins, and there is an approved mailbox specification with a reimbursement program. The recorded Declaration of Restrictions and by-laws are held by the association and Johnson County, not posted here; we can retrieve them for a specific home.

Setting & location

The neighborhood is in the southern part of Olathe, in the 66062 ZIP, roughly between 161st and 164th Streets. Hampton Park sits inside the neighborhood and ties into Olathe’s trail network. It is a mature 1990s setting — established trees, sidewalks and fenced back yards — rather than a new-construction streetscape.

Schools

South Hampton is in Olathe USD 233. The homes association lists Madison Place Elementary (K–5), Chisholm Trail Middle School (6–8) and Olathe South High School (9–12), and the majority of the neighborhood’s Heartland MLS records agree; a few records show Sunnyside or Brougham Elementary, so attendance areas can vary at the edges. Confirm the current attendance area for a specific address with the district.

What it actually costs to own here

Beyond principal and interest, the recurring cost of owning in South Hampton is property tax plus a $155 annual assessment — and nothing else: no special assessment appeared on any of the 15 recent listings. The chart shows the estimated monthly carry next to the Olathe citywide average.

Estimates only, not a tax quote. Sale and tax figures are South Hampton closings recorded through Heartland MLS via DataMaster, June 4–August 21, 2026 (n=14) — a small, recent sample, directional only. The median recorded tax in that sample was about $4,578 a year (roughly $382 a month) and the effective rate about 1.15% of sale price, a little below the Olathe citywide reference near 1.22%; no special assessment appeared on any of the 15 recent listings. HOA dues are the association’s published $155 for 2026. 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.
