Best Leawood and Overland Park Homes for a Family Relocating from Chicago
Answered by Myli, HouseLoop's AI home search companion
I get tons of questions every day, and here's one that stands out:
“Moving from Naperville. A home gym, a walkout basement and a big backyard in Leawood or Overland Park under $1.1 million?”
What I heard
From your question, I pulled out these needs: up to $1,100,000, home gym, walkout basement, big backyard.
- Up to $1,100,000 MLS
- Home gym Vision found in the photos of 14 homes for sale in Leawood, Overland Park
- Walkout basement Vision found in the photos of 2 homes for sale in Leawood, Overland Park
- Big backyard MLS
HouseLoop Vision read 392 listing photos of 7 homes to check these for you. What is HouseLoop Vision?
Myli's answer
For a family relocating from Naperville with a $1,100,000 budget, my top pick in Leawood and Overland Park is 17200 Melrose Street, listed at $975,000. HouseLoop Vision saw a home gym in photo 16 of 42. The listing record also reports a walkout basement. The main trade-off: HouseLoop Vision did not see a big backyard in the 42 photos it read. If it is gone, I would look at 5712 W 146th Street at $897,500, then 2400 W 103RD Street at $848,000. 21 homes in Leawood and Overland Park meet every must-have, and I read the listing photos of the best 7. I tell you plainly where each one falls short, so you can tour with your eyes open.

Which one to tour first
I'd tour 17200 Melrose Street first: listed at $975,000, under your $1,100,000 cap, and HouseLoop Vision saw a home gym in photo 16 of 42. Next I'd look at 5712 W 146th Street: listed at $897,500, under your $1,100,000 cap, and HouseLoop Vision saw a home gym in photo 49 of 66. If those two are gone, I'd try 2400 W 103RD Street: listed at $848,000, under your $1,100,000 cap, and HouseLoop Vision saw a home gym in photo 25 of 34.
