There is something special about life in Raintree Lake. It is more than just a neighborhood. It is a lifestyle built around community, recreation, convenience, and beautiful homes tucked among lakes, trails, and mature scenery in southern Lee’s Summit.

Located at 716 SW 163rd St, this stunning home offers everything buyers are searching for right now including over an acre of land, spacious living areas, and a newer inground saltwater pool perfect for summer entertaining. But what truly makes this property stand out is the location and the lifestyle that comes with living in the sought-after Raintree Lake community.

Raintree Lake is known throughout the Kansas City area for its private 235-acre lake, walking trails, clubhouse, community pool, boating, fishing, playgrounds, and neighborhood events that bring residents together throughout the year. It is the kind of neighborhood where evening golf cart rides, lake sunsets, and poolside gatherings become part of everyday life.

One unique advantage to portions of Raintree Lake is the location within Cass County, which many buyers appreciate for potentially lower property taxes while still enjoying close access to Lee’s Summit amenities and conveniences.

Families are drawn to the area for the nearby schools and convenient access to shopping, dining, and recreation. Depending on location within the community, homes may be served by the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District or Raymore-Peculiar School District, both highly recognized in the area.

Living here also means being close to many local favorites throughout Lee’s Summit and south Kansas City. Grab your morning coffee at Love Coffee before heading to nearby shopping at Summit Fair and Summit Woods Crossing. Residents also enjoy easy access to local restaurants like Wally’s Grill & Drafthouse and La Fuente Mexican Street Food.

For outdoor lovers, the area offers quick access to Longview Lake, Legacy Park, and James A. Reed Memorial Wildlife Area where residents can enjoy trails, fishing, kayaking, playgrounds, and outdoor recreation year-round.

Homes like 716 SW 163rd St are about more than bedrooms and square footage. They are about finding a place where you can truly enjoy your everyday life. From summers spent in the pool to evenings on the lake and weekends exploring Lee’s Summit, Raintree Lake offers a sense of community and connection that is hard to find.

If you have been searching for a home that combines space, amenities, location, and lifestyle, this beautiful Raintree Lake property deserves a closer look.
