The story of Summercrestfrom 1982
The association’s own by-laws cite the governing Homes Association Declaration by its recording particulars - filed in the office of the Register of Deeds of Johnson County, Kansas on 7 July 1982, volume 1778, beginning at page 911. source
The subdivision was recorded in two filings, Summercrest and the Second Plat of Summercrest. The first carried only lots 1 to 9 of Block 1 and lots 1 to 8 of Block 2; the second brought in lots 10 to 33 of Block 1, 9 to 26 of Block 2, 1 to 22 of Block 3 and 1 to 8 of Block 4 - so the great majority of the neighborhood arrived with the second plat. source
A first amendment to the declarations of restrictions was made in January 1987 by Broadmoor Financial Group, Inc., a Kansas corporation, named in the instrument as the declarant, and filed with the Johnson County Register of Deeds on 2 February 1987. source
Summercrest lies inside Blue Valley Unified School District 229. source
What makes it distinctiveplanning, architecture and layout
The by-laws were written for a community still being built. They give the developer twenty votes for every lot it owned, against one vote per assessable lot for everyone else, which is the standard mechanism for keeping control with the developer until enough lots have sold. source
The association still runs on those by-laws, with the annual meeting fixed for the first Monday of June and a board drawn from Robinson, Marty, Newton and Riley Street addresses inside the subdivision. source
Where the development standsstill building
The association publishes its declaration of restrictions, its by-laws and a separate set of fence requirements as downloadable documents, and describes the community as sitting in Overland Park near Interstate 435, Metcalf Avenue and College Boulevard. source
What the houses are likemedian built 1984

What this means if you are buying in Summercrestspecific to this neighborhood
Establish which of the two Summercrest filings your lot sits in before you read a word of the restrictions: the two came in under separate recordings and were amended on different dates, so there is no single neighborhood-wide rule set to rely on. The title commitment will name the volume and page that actually bind the lot - match those against the block and lot on the plat. Then read the fence requirements alongside the declaration; the association publishes both, which is unusual and worth using. A declaration of this age is old enough that its language on outbuildings, vehicles and exterior changes may not anticipate what you want to do. Confirm the school assignment at the address as well: Overland Park is split across more than one district, and this part of it is Blue Valley.
What to check in homes of this agelate-century stock
With a median year built of 1984, most homes here are late-century stock. None of the following says anything about a specific house - they are the questions worth asking of any home of this age.
- Polybutylene supply piping was used in homes built roughly 1978-1995 and is worth identifying before closing; it affects insurability in some cases.
- First-generation vinyl windows and original roofs from this period are typically at or past replacement age.
What sold, in more detailsizes, bedroom mix and timing
Of the 25 homes sold, 7 were 3-bed, 18 were 4-bed.
Above-grade size ranged from about 1,507 to 2,354 sq ft across the middle 80% of sales, so the median alone understates how much variation there is.
Closings cluster in June, April and September, with 72% of the year's sales closing between April and September. Because closing typically follows the contract by a month or more, listing activity runs earlier than that.
