“We recently relocated from Indianapolis to the Michiana area and worked with Barketa Kearns as our realtor — she was fantastic! From day one, her deep knowledge of the area helped us understand the neighborhoods and what we could realistically afford. She was honest, thoughtful, and always respectful of our wishes, offering guidance without ever being pushy. Barketa was incredibly attentive to the details, even stepping in to do virtual tours when one of us couldn’t be there in person. And when she wasn’t available, she made sure other agents at Century 21 Circle stepped in to help — one of them even came to pick us up when our car broke down! That kind of care and flexibility made all the difference. Her professionalism, patience, and dedication turned what could’ve been a stressful move into a smooth and even enjoyable experience. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better partner in the process!”

Barker. A favorite for people who prize walkability and character, this east-central Lawrence neighborhood blends early-20th-century bungalows, tidy foursquares, and renovations under tree canopies. Its location puts you minutes from Downtown, with the creative pull of East Lawrence and trails in Brook Creek close by, and KU’s student energy just over in Oread. Daily life feels easy and neighborly in Lawrence, where front porches, sidewalk chats, and block gatherings shape the rhythm.
Outdoor time comes naturally on the Burroughs Creek Trail and Linear Park, a shady north–south corridor ideal for jogging, biking, and dog walks; South Park’s lawns and festivals are a quick ride away. Campus performances, museums, and game days at the University of Kansas add year-round buzz, while Haskell Indian Nations University contributes meaningful cultural programming.
Families benefit from Lawrence Public Schools (USD 497), with nearby campuses such as Cordley Elementary, Liberty Memorial Central, and Lawrence High. Commuting stays simple thanks to Lawrence Transit, bike-friendly streets, and quick access to main arteries, yet the residential blocks remain calm. Coffee spots, everyday services, and independent eateries line 19th Street and Massachusetts Street, keeping errands close.
