Fairway, KS Homes for Sale
One square mile of 1930s–50s Tudors, Capes and ranches beside Shawnee Mission Parkway, now the most active teardown-and-rebuild market in Johnson County. Usually fewer than ten homes for sale. Live listings below.
Live MLS snapshot as of September 22, 2026. The $5.2M figure is a single 8,700-square-foot 2016 estate in Reinhardt Estates; the typical Fairway home lists between $325K and $650K.
Fairway is the small city tucked between Prairie Village, Roeland Park and Mission, wrapped around the Shawnee Indian Mission historic site and the Shawnee Mission Parkway corridor. It has roughly 4,000 residents, one of the highest concentrations of original Tudor and Cape Cod homes in the metro, and a habit of having only a handful of homes for sale at any moment. Today there are nine.
Two very different markets share those nine listings. The first is the classic Fairway house: a 1940 to 1950 brick or stone two-story or ranch, 1,200 to 2,000 square feet, on a compact lot under a canopy of oaks, listing from the mid $300s into the $500s and $600s depending on how much has been updated. The second is the rebuild: a new custom home on a Fairway lot where the original house came down, typically $1.3M and up, and in one current case $5.2M.
That second market is why builders like James Engle, Chris George and Roeser have Fairway addresses on their active lists, and why a modest original home on a good street can sell for close to land value. If you are buying an original Fairway home to live in, you need to know which streets the rebuilds are landing on, because it changes both what you pay today and what the house is worth in ten years.

Original Fairway, and the new Fairway being built on top of it
The median Fairway listing right now was built in 1950. Fairway homes are known for stone and brick exteriors, arched doorways, original hardwoods, and small but well-proportioned rooms. Most have been updated at least once; the question is whether the kitchen, baths and systems were done in the 2020s or the 1990s, and that gap can be $150K in list price.
The rebuild wave started along the streets closest to Prairie Village and Mission Hills and has moved through the city. A teardown lot in Fairway now trades for a price that would have bought a finished home a decade ago, and the resulting new builds run 3,500 to 8,000-plus square feet. Reinhardt Estates, a small enclave of newer custom homes on Windsor Drive, is the extreme case: the current listing there is 8,768 square feet at $5.2M.
For a buyer that creates two honest paths. Buy an original home, budget for the updates you actually want, and enjoy a mature neighborhood at a first-ring price. Or buy the lot and build, which in Fairway means working with a builder who already knows the city permit process and the neighbors. I have done both with clients and I will tell you which one the specific street supports.
Where to look
Central Fairway (Norwood, Canterbury, Windsor)
The classic Tudor and Cape streets around the city hall and the Shawnee Indian Mission; most listings are here.
Mission Highlands
Early-1950s ranches and two-stories on the Catalina and Mission Road side; a common entry point in the $400s.
Mission Valley East / Mission Village
Smaller post-war homes along the W 61st and 62nd corridor; the lowest prices in the city and frequent renovation candidates.
Reinhardt Estates
Newer custom homes on Windsor Drive; the top of the Fairway market.

Larger city, same era, more inventory. Most Fairway buyers are also watching it.
Roeland Park
Same streets and era one price tier down.

Questions buyers ask
How much does a home cost in Fairway, KS?
As of late September 2026 the median list price is about $539,900. Original 1940s and 50s homes list from the mid $300s to the $600s depending on updates; new custom rebuilds start around $1.3M and the top current listing is $5.2M. Price per square foot for the typical home is around $315.
Why are there so few homes for sale in Fairway?
Fairway is about one square mile with roughly 1,600 homes, residents stay a long time, and demand from buyers who want Shawnee Mission East schools and a first-ring location is steady. Nine active listings is normal. Many homes sell off-market or in the first days, so a watchlist matters more here than in most cities.
What school district is Fairway in?
Shawnee Mission School District (USD 512), feeding Shawnee Mission East High School. Most Fairway addresses attend Westwood View Elementary and Indian Hills Middle School; I verify the exact feeder pattern on every address before a client writes an offer.
Is it worth buying a teardown in Fairway?
On the right street, yes, and it is happening constantly. The math depends on what comparable new builds are selling for on that block versus lot cost plus construction. I run that analysis with a builder before a client buys land, because a lot that works on one Fairway street may not on another.
