Twin villas neighborhood in western Lenexa taking shape

The Mize Hill neighborhood in west Lenexa, which features twin villas, is moving forward. Future neighbors can reserve lots and select floor plans, or purchase a completed spec villa.

A new neighborhood of twin villa housing in western Lenexa is starting to take shape roughly two years after it first got approval from the city.

The development, called Mize Hill, was approved toward the end of 2020. It sits on 43 acres at the southwest corner of Prairie Star Parkway and Clare Road near St. James Academy Catholic High School. Overland Park-based Lambie Homes is the developer and the builder.

(Find more information about the villas here.)

Mize Hill Villas start at $475K

  • Housing options of this style are frequently built for renters, but these units are being built to be sold and owner-occupied.
  • “We thought it would be a nice mix to add [twin villas] into this area, to this corridor because we have single family homes, we have apartments [close by],” Mize Hill Community Manager Frank Zizzo said. “At this stage, people can pick a lot and pick the floor plan that they want.”
  • The company is offering two floor plans, though buyers can request modifications as desired, he said. The estimated build time on each lot is six months.
  • Some spec villas are available right now.
  • One floor plan offers three bedrooms, the other has four.
The Mize Hill villas development is at the corner of Prairie Star Parkway and Shady Bend Road in west Lenexa. The project, currently getting underway, is part of a greater mixed-use development that features these multifamily homes as well as a planned commercial node.

81 two-unit buildings are planned in Mize Hill

  • At two units per building, the completed development would have 162 units.
  • The building process will be split into phases, with about half set to come up in the first phase.
  • As lots are taken, Lambie Homes plans to build spec villas on the other lots at Mize Hill, Zizzo said.
  • Maintenance will be provided for the whole community.
  • The villas will also back up to Mize Lake and Lenexa’s Cedar Station Park.

This area of Lenexa is ripe for development
