New Construction Homes in Gardner, KS
One of the Fastest-Growing Cities in the Metro
Gardner sits in southwest Johnson County along I-35, and it has been growing fast. In January 2025, KCTV5 reported that Gardner was named the fastest-growing city of 20,000 or more people in the Kansas City metro for 2024, with about 600 homes added in the prior year and more than 1,400 in the pipeline. Blue Sky Homes is a new home builder in Gardner, KS, and we build new construction only: a custom home on land you own, or one of our proven floor plans adjusted to fit it.
Gardner was founded where the Santa Fe and Oregon–California Trails split, and it still feels like a place people come to put down roots. Many of the families moving here want a newer home with room to grow and an easy drive up I-35 to the rest of the metro.

Building on Your Lot in Gardner
Whether your lot is in one of Gardner’s newer subdivisions or on a few acres outside town, the site comes first. We look at how the home will sit, how water drains away from it, where the driveway goes, and what the lot’s setbacks and covenants allow. Still shopping for land? We’ll walk lots with you and tell you what each would take to build on.
Our floor plans make a good starting point. The Dove is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch of about 1,747 sq ft in our Nest Series, alongside the Clover. The Avalon is a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath two-story of about 2,648 sq ft in our Grove Series, alongside the Robin. We’ll adjust any plan to your lot, and as a custom home builder in Gardner we can design something new from the ground up.
Each part of the home is built by a skilled subcontractor working from a written scope, and we coordinate every one of them for you.
