South Manhattan sets an easygoing pace at the southern gateway to Manhattan, with quick connections along Fort Riley Boulevard and Scenic Drive. Residents appreciate established streets, roomy yards, and convenient access to everyday essentials, plus short commutes to Junction City and Wamego and the services of Riley County.
Weekend plans come together effortlessly. Animal lovers head to the walkable grounds of Sunset Zoo, while science and history fans explore exhibits at the Flint Hills Discovery Center. Golfers test their short game at nearby Stagg Hill, and runners log miles on the Linear Trail along the Blue and Kansas rivers. Ballfields and fishing ponds at Anneberg Park keep outdoor time close to home, and Kansas sunsets glow over the Flint Hills.
Education anchors the area. The neighborhood is served by Manhattan-Ogden USD 383, and continuing education, research, and Big 12 game days are just minutes away at Kansas State University. Daily life is practical: groceries, coffee, local eateries, and medical offices cluster along Fort Riley Boulevard, with larger retail corridors only a short drive.
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating with the military, South Manhattan offers value, convenience, and a genuine sense of place. When you’re ready to move, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with a top local real estate professional who knows South Manhattan inside and out.
