About Spring Creek
Spring Creek at a closer look
Spring Creek is a low-density acreage neighborhood in De Soto (66018), Johnson County, in the De Soto USD 232 school district. Homes sit on lots of roughly one to three-plus acres — among the larger residential lots in the city. Recorded sales span homes built from 1994 into the late 2000s; the neighborhood is built out and is not adding phases.
Why buyers look here
Acreage lots close to town — larger homes and more land than a standard subdivision — with the cost of ownership carried in property tax alone, no HOA dues and no special-assessment charges.
Homes, builders & pricing
Homes are ranch, 1.5-story and two-story designs of roughly 1,900–3,700 finished square feet, three to five bedrooms, built between 1994 and 2009, on approximately one- to three-acre lots. Over the last decade, six sales are on record (Heartland MLS, Sept 2016–Aug 2026), median $429,500; the three sales since 2022 have a median near $601,000 — a very small sample, so treat it as directional, not a market rate.
The MLS carries one builder record for Spring Creek (Don Parr); most of the neighborhood predates the window in which new-construction records capture the builder. Original builders can be confirmed from Johnson County plat and permit records on request.

Taxes & sales history
What it costs to own in Spring Creek

Beyond principal and interest, the recurring cost of owning in Spring Creek is property tax.
