Homeowners association (factual)
The recorded “HOA Includes” field most often reads “No Amenities” or lists management only, consistent with a small association fee covering basic administration rather than pool/clubhouse amenities. Dues and covenant terms change — we can pull the current association figures and documents for a specific home before you write an offer.
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.
Setting & amenities
- Larger-lot detached-home streetscape in De Soto; everyday services in downtown De Soto and along the K-10 corridor; regional shopping in nearby Olathe, Shawnee and Lenexa.
- No published neighborhood pool/clubhouse amenity (the HOA is a nominal administrative association per the MLS records).
- De Soto was platted in 1857 and incorporated in 1897, on the Kansas River in Johnson (and Leavenworth) County. It now sits at the center of major regional growth — the roughly $4B Panasonic EV-battery plant and the Astra Enterprise Park redevelopment of the former Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant.
Schools (De Soto USD 232)
Served by De Soto USD 232. Address-level assignments on sales here have been Starside Elementary School (the assignment on record for nearly all sales here; De Soto’s elementary boundaries split between Starside and Mize), Lexington Trails Middle School and De Soto High School. Boundaries change; confirm the exact assignment for a specific address with the district before relying on it.
Taxes & sales history
What it costs to own in Timber Trails
The typical Timber Trails home that sold in 2026 (year to date) carried a property tax bill of about $5,648 a year, or 1.16% of its sale price. Below: every year of real bills and prices since 2016.
Across 43 De Soto MLS sales in Timber Trails (2016–2026), the median recorded property tax was about $5,893 on a median sale price of $410,000 — an effective rate of ~1.40%. For a home around the recent median of $527,000 (17 sales, 2023–2026), property tax works out to roughly $7,400/yr (~$615/mo). So the recurring cost is almost entirely property tax; the larger homes here simply carry a larger tax bill than smaller De Soto neighborhoods at a similar rate.
Figures are 10-year MLS medians (sales n=43; tax n=42), not a tax quote. Kansas reassesses annually and the actual bill follows the county appraiser’s valuation; confirm current dues with the association.
