Roeland Park Homes for Sale
A two-square-mile city of 1940s and 50s ranches and Capes fifteen minutes from downtown, where most homes still list under $500K and rarely last two weeks. Live listings below.
Live MLS snapshot as of September 22, 2026. Twenty of the twenty-one active homes are priced under $500K; nineteen were listed or updated in the last 30 days.
Roeland Park is the northeast Johnson County city that buyers find after they price Prairie Village. It sits between Mission Road and Roe Boulevard just south of Johnson Drive, it is about two square miles, and nearly everything in it was built between the late 1930s and the late 1950s: brick ranches, Cape Cods and story-and-a-halfs on modest lots with mature trees.
What that means in practice is a market that is small, fast and surprisingly consistent. Right now there are 21 homes for sale in Roeland Park with a median list price of about $324,500 and a range from $260,000 to $585,000. The homes at the top of that range are the larger post-war two-stories and the ones that have been opened up and renovated; the ones at the bottom are original two-bedroom ranches that a lot of my clients buy specifically to renovate.
If you are coming from a bigger metro, the appeal is easy to see: a walkable, tree-canopied first-ring suburb with Shawnee Mission schools, a real city government that maintains its parks and pool, and a commute to the Plaza, KU Med or downtown that is genuinely fifteen minutes. If you already live in Johnson County, Roeland Park is where you go to get into this part of the county without a Prairie Village or Fairway price tag.

What you are actually buying in Roeland Park
The median home listed here right now was built in 1947. Expect two or three bedrooms, one to two baths, 1,100 to 2,000 square feet, a one-car garage or carport, and an unfinished or partly finished basement. Original hardwoods under carpet are common. Kitchens and baths are the swing factor: a home with a 2020s renovation can list $100K to $150K above an identical original one next door.
Because the housing stock is so uniform, pricing here is unusually comp-driven, which is good news for a buyer who does homework. I pull the last six months of sales on the exact street before we write, because a $30K difference in Roeland Park is a real percentage of the price. Sewer-scope and foundation inspections matter more than average in 75-year-old homes on clay soil; my sewer scope guide explains why.
The larger homes and the occasional new build cluster near the Fairway border and along the Roe Boulevard corridor. Teardown-and-rebuild activity that has reshaped Prairie Village and Fairway has started to reach Roeland Park; when a lot sells for land value here it is usually on one of those edge streets.

Questions buyers ask
How much does a house cost in Roeland Park, KS?
As of late September 2026 the median list price is about $324,500, with active homes ranging from $260,000 to $585,000. Original two-bedroom ranches sit at the bottom of that range; renovated three-bedroom homes and the larger two-stories near Fairway sit at the top.
Is Roeland Park a good place to live?
For buyers who want a first-ring, walkable Johnson County neighborhood with mature trees and a short commute, yes. It is smaller and less expensive than Prairie Village and Fairway, shares their era and character, and has its own city services, pool and parks. The trade-off is older, smaller homes that usually need updating.
What school district is Roeland Park in?
Shawnee Mission School District (USD 512). Most Roeland Park addresses feed Roesland Elementary, Hocker Grove Middle and Shawnee Mission North High School. Bishop Miege, a Catholic high school, is also in Roeland Park.
How fast do homes sell in Roeland Park?
Fast. Nineteen of the twenty-one current listings were listed or updated in the last thirty days, and well-priced renovated homes typically go under contract within the first week, often with multiple offers. If you are serious about a specific street, tell me and I will watch it, including homes that sell before they are widely marketed.
