Sunset Hills offers an easygoing pace on the west side of Lawrence, where curving streets, mature trees, and mid-century homes create a relaxed, lived-in feel. Outdoor time is part of the routine: residents wander the woodsy trails of Dad Perry Park, toss discs at Centennial Park, or join leagues and classes through Lawrence Parks & Recreation. Quick connections along Bob Billings Parkway and Sixth Street make commuting simple, while coffee shops, grocers, and local eateries are just minutes from most front doors. You’re also well positioned for campus events, Jayhawks games, and performances at the Lied Center thanks to the nearby University of Kansas.
Families are drawn to the neighborhood’s school options—Sunset Hill Elementary, West Middle School, and Lawrence Free State High School—all part of the respected Lawrence Public Schools system. Weekdays feel convenient, weekends feel open-ended, and the broader amenities of Douglas County add museums, libraries, trails, and community programs to the mix.
Housing spans updated ranches, split-levels, and thoughtfully expanded homes, with sidewalks that encourage evening strolls and neighborly waves. Whether you’re downsizing, moving up, or relocating for work at KU or in downtown, Sunset Hills serves up an appealing balance of calm streets and city access.
