Bluhawk is more than a sports park and shopping district. Here's what the homes cost, who builds them, the HOA, schools, and what Phase 2 means for buyers.
Say "Bluhawk" to most people in Kansas City and they picture the AdventHealth Sports Park, a tournament weekend, or a quick run to Cosentino's. That's fair. The commercial side is what gets the headlines. But Bluhawk is also a residential neighborhood, and a growing number of the buyers I talk with about south Overland Park ask about it by name. So here's the buyer's version: where the homes are, what they cost, who builds them, and what all that construction on 159th Street means if you live there.
Where Bluhawk Actually Is
Bluhawk sits in the far south end of Overland Park, along the 159th Street and US-69 corridor. The mixed-use district, with the sports park, shops, restaurants, offices and The Residences at Bluhawk apartments, is addressed at 7951 W 160th Street (66223). The single-family neighborhood is just south of that, around West 166th Street and Antioch Road, in the 66085 zip code.
That split is worth understanding before you tour. The retail and sports traffic is on the north side, and the houses sit a few minutes south on quieter residential streets. You can walk or take a short drive to dinner, but you're not living in a parking lot on a tournament Saturday.
Neighbors worth knowing: Sundance Ridge and Mills Farm are both close by, and many of my buyers compare the three side by side. Each lands in a different price band and has a different lot and floor-plan style.
What Homes in Bluhawk Cost
Bluhawk is a newer-construction neighborhood, so most homes are recent builds or resales of homes only a few years old. The builder marketing that first introduced the community quoted starting prices in the upper $400s. Those numbers are a few years old now. Recent resales have been trading well above that. One active listing late this summer was asking just under $680,000 for about 2,600 square feet with four bedrooms and three baths.
I'd frame it this way for 2026: plan on the $600s into the $700s for most resale product, with larger or more customized plans running higher. Inventory at any given moment is thin, often only one or two active listings. So a buyer who wants Bluhawk usually has to be ready to move when the right house comes up, or has to talk with a builder about what's still possible. You can see every Bluhawk home for sale right now further down this page, pulled live from the MLS, or open the full Bluhawk home search to filter by price and beds.
For context on how that compares across the city, my new construction guide for Overland Park breaks down price bands by community.
Who Builds in Bluhawk
Bluhawk was developed by Price Brothers, the same group that manages the commercial district. Public builder lists for the residential side have included:
- Rodrock Homes
- Bickimer Homes
- Summit Homes
- James Engle Custom Homes
- Gabriel Homes
- Price Residential Group
The builder mix matters more than people think. Two houses at the same price on the same street can have very different construction specs, warranty terms and finish levels. If you're weighing a builder's remaining lot against a resale, read my guide on spec homes vs. to-be-built first. The timing and negotiating leverage are completely different.
HOA, Amenities and Schools
HOA: Dues have been reported at roughly $1,200 to $1,250 a year. They cover the neighborhood pool, clubhouse, play area and common grounds. Always confirm the current figure and read the declarations before you write an offer, because dues and what they cover can change.
Schools: Bluhawk is in the Blue Valley School District. Published neighborhood guides list Cedar Hills Elementary, Pleasant Ridge Middle and Blue Valley West High as the assigned schools. Boundaries in fast-growing south Overland Park do get redrawn, so verify the specific address with Blue Valley's boundary lookup before you rely on it. For why Blue Valley carries so much weight in pricing, see what Blue Valley schools mean for home values.
Living Next to the Sports Park and Retail
This is the part buyers ask about most, and it cuts both ways.
The upside: The AdventHealth Sports Park opened in October 2024. It's a roughly 260,000-square-foot facility with a hockey rink, basketball, volleyball and pickleball courts, a turf field, a training center and family entertainment. The district already has everyday retail and dining, including Cosentino's Market, Ulta, Sierra, Whataburger, Red Door Grill and Andy's Frozen Custard. Phase 2 is under way. Bluhawk has announced L.L.Bean, Amorino Gelato, Spavia, JetSet Pilates and Chicken Salad Chick, with the first openings starting this fall and a Phase 2 grand opening planned for 2027. For a family with kids in club sports, having practice ten minutes from home instead of forty is a real quality-of-life upgrade.
The trade-off: Construction and event traffic are part of the package for the next year or two. Shawnee Drive, for example, was closed from June 1 through September 17 for Phase 2 work. Tournament weekends bring visitors from across the region. The homes sit south of the busiest part, but if you're sensitive to traffic, drive the neighborhood on a Saturday afternoon in tournament season before you commit.
Resale view: Buyers pay for convenience and amenities that are already built. As Phase 2 fills in, the "what's coming" story becomes a "what's here" story. That generally supports demand, as long as the district stays well run. I'd treat that as an upside, not a guarantee.
Is Bluhawk Right for You?
Bluhawk tends to fit:
- Families who want Blue Valley schools and newer construction without paying Leawood or Hallbrook prices
- Active households that will actually use the sports park, trails and retail
- Relocating buyers who want a newer home and a clear south-Overland Park address. My cost of living in Kansas City guide walks through the taxes and monthly costs that come with it.
It's probably not the fit if you want acreage, a mature tree canopy or a quiet rural feel. South Overland Park still has pockets of that, but Bluhawk is intentionally busy and connected.
Thinking About Bluhawk?
Inventory in Bluhawk is thin, and the best homes often move before most buyers see them. I watch the 66085 new-listing feed and the builders' remaining lots every week. The live listings are just below, and the Bluhawk home search always has what's on the market today.
