Answer: Great question, Kyle. This question will take some time to research. 


To answer your question, Kyle, I will look at the real estate activity in Johnson County for the past 90 days. According to the research I did by using the local Heartland MLS the top selling cities for half million dollar home (homes between $500-600,000) are: 1) Overland Park, Kansas 2) Leawood, Kansas 3) Olathe 4) Shawnee 


I found that all of the following cities had at least 5 half million dollar homes under contract in the past 90 days.


I also found that half million dollar homes also sold in Mission Hills, Fairway, Stilwell, Prairie Village and Lenexa, Kansas.


I found in my research the the following 12 subdivisions in Johnson County, Kansas had the most activity in the half million dollar price range:
1) Wilshire Farms Subdivision in Overland Park, KS. with 7 half million dollar homes under contact.
2) Bridgewood Subdivision in Leawood, Kansas with 4 half million dollar homes under contract.
3) Bluestem Subdivision in Overland Park, Kansas with 4 half million dollar homes under contract.
4) Wyngate Subdivision in Overland Park, Kansas with 3 half million dollar homes under contract.
5) Wilshire Place in Leawood, KS. with 2 half million dollar homes under contract.
6) Lionsgate by the Lake in Overland Park with 2 half million dollar homes under contact.
7) Coffee Creek Crossing in Overland Park with 2 half million dollar homes under contract.
8) Lionsgate by the Green in Overland Park with 2 half million dollar homes under contract.
9) Nottingham St. Andrews in Overland Park with 2 half million dollar homes under contract.
10) Windsor Hills in Overland Park with 2 half million dollar homes under contract.
11) Cedar Creek - Southglen Woods in Olathe, KS. with 2 half million dollar homes under contract.
12) Indian Hills in Mission Hills with 2 half million dollar homes under contract. 


Hope this helps, Kyle. After looking at the stats, Overland Park and Leawood seem to be the cities to buy a half million dollar home. It sure looks like Wilshire Farms has seen a lot of real estate activity in the past 90 days.
