Community History

Safety, Security and Convenience were the themes that G. David Gale had in mind in 2003 when he began the planning and design for the neighborhoods of Arborwalk, Gale Communities' 400 acre "New Urban Design" community in Lee's Summit.

The Safety that comes from a friendly, well-lit, well-designed residential environment with good, caring neighbors.

The Security that one has with a solid home investment, quality construction, in a growing neighborhood designed & managed by one of KC's largest & most reputable developers.

And the Convenience of being on the west-side of Lee's Summit, less than 10 minutes from 2 grocery stores and shopping, just 15 minutes from Overland Park, with local parks and schools all nearby.

Arborwalk's "New Urban Design" is especially attractive to today's smaller families, and single living, versus tract housing in a typical subdivision. Arborwalk's low maintenance building materials, along with the right-sized home on the right-sized homesite contribute to today's more pleasurable, worry-free, and affordable lifestyle.

The aesthetic 16 acre central park with walking trails, the nature boardwalk through the wetland, playfields, playscape, and stocked fishing lake provides a convenient & contemplative meeting place for like-minded neighbors.

And today, a short 2 years after opening with more than 440 residents, Arborwalk is the fastest growing new home community in Lee's Summit. "New Urban Design" has arrived.
