The 18-hole Prairie Green stretches south to 69th Street where you'll find the club house and the Prairie Club Apartments with underground heated garages, a closed circuit security system and golf course views. The Prairie Green neighborhood grew after the city proposed an upscale, public golf course, developer Emmet Rogers says. Building started when the same developers had filled about 75 percent of the Prairie Tree neighborhood just west across Minnesota Avenue. The lots here are not as large as those in Prairie Tree. In Prairie Green, you'll find lots of about 12,000 to 15,000 square feet - about a third of an acre.
Houses here line up with matching setbacks from the street.
Garages on these large houses are often set toward the front of the lot. You'll easily find homes with five bedrooms and more and at least three bathrooms. These are homes with porches. Many of them have walk-out lower levels. Colors stay mostly in the taupe family, and trees are so new they make little impact yet along the streets closely lined with houses.
