Brick ranch homes and split levels on lush lots
Homes in Leawood sit on lush green lots with paved driveways and attached garages. Brick ranch-style homes from the 1960s begin at around $400,000, and split-level homes with craftsman elements can sell for as high as $950,000. Sprawling farmstead complexes on extended acreage can cost up to $1.6 million. "Leawood is a great location with older homes on bigger lots, which are a little more affordable. It has good schools and is close to shopping and parks," says Melinda Sanders, an area local who has lived in the south Denver metro for over 35 years and works as a Realtor at eXp Realty in Englewood. "It's an up-and-coming part of Littleton. Because of its proximity to the parks and being right across the street from the higher-priced properties in Grant Ranch, as people move in and start re-doing homes there, those home values will go up." Homes on the neighborhood's north side are acreage properties with horse farms, giving Leawood a rural touch. Although most homes in this neighborhood have a similar rustic vibe, there is an architectural diversity with renovated residences that continue to incorporate brick and classic ranch-style siding in different ways, giving homes a newer feel consistent with their environment.
