Moving to Wichita to be closer to the wifes family. So we are looking for a little advice on good neighborhoods, and those to stay away from. I personally have only been to the area a couple times. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Don’t have any advice, as it’s not my AO, but Wichita is a nice town.

Don't live there, only visited.

From what I saw, stay North of Kellogg street.

one example, There is a Youtuber that lives south of Wichita and was driving on Kellogg at night; had is car egged while driving.

So the south west part of town near the airport is not a great portion of town?

Where do I find that video?

Stick to the surrounding communities, if you can.  There are decent spots in the central areas, but hit or miss.

- Derby (South)
- Goddard (West)
- Maize (NW)
- Bel Aire (NE)  - we lived there for 4 years and loved it.  Felt removed from the busy life, but 3 mins and you're right where everything is.
- Andover (East)

I'm certainly a bit biased to the NE side of Wichita, but I feel like there's still a lot of room out that way.  Not too congested, yet getting all kinds of good places to shop and eat.  Cabelas, Academy, REI, Texas Roadhouse, and more and more.  We looked at Maize, which also has a LOT of great shopping and restaurants, but man, it always feels like a complete madhouse in that area.  Another thing as far as driving goes, Maize requires you to mostly drive surface streets to get out that way, unless you work your way over to K-96.  The NE area has K-96 right off the main areas of interest, so it's pretty quick to get around.  YMMV!

lots of great info. Thank you all! The wife should be intown looking next week. I will keep you all posted.

Just closed on a house yesterday in Maize.  Chose that because we needed to be west of town.

Edited to say prices don't seem as crazy stupid here as other places in the country.

Should have seen it just a few years ago.
