If you’re searching for new homes in the Kansas City area, or considering building a new home in Johnson County, Kansas, Bristol Highlands continues to stand out as one of the most thoughtfully planned new-construction communities in the metro. With multiple phases, diverse home styles, and brand-new homesites just released, there’s truly something here for every stage of life.
Our latest drone video gives you a bird’s-eye view of how expansive and scenic this community really is—wooded surroundings, rolling terrain, and private homesites, all paired with the convenience buyers want in Johnson County. Below, we’ll break down each section of the community so you can quickly find what fits your lifestyle and budget.
A Community Designed for How People Want to Live Today
Bristol Highlands is made up of five distinct sections, each offering a different home style, price point, and lifestyle experience. What ties them all together is the setting—spacious, private homesites, many with tree lines or natural buffers, and a location that makes daily life easy.
Residents enjoy proximity to parks, trails, shopping, dining, and highway access, while still feeling tucked away from the busyness of the city. It’s a rare balance that continues to draw buyers relocating to the Kansas City metro as well as local buyers upgrading or downsizing into new construction.
