Barefoot Bay offers lake-life serenity with the convenience of west-side city living. Tucked within northwest Wichita in Sedgwick County, the neighborhood centers around a clear, sandpit lake where weekends revolve around paddleboards, fishing poles, and sunset views from the dock. Daily errands and dinner plans are simple thanks to nearby retail and dining at the open-air NewMarket Square, while big outings are just minutes away at the beloved Sedgwick County Zoo and the trail-filled Sedgwick County Park. Quick access to K-96 and I-235 keeps commutes across the metro smooth, and city services are easy to navigate through the City of Wichita.
Families appreciate strong local schools; much of the area is served by Maize USD 266, known for robust academics, competitive athletics, and well-supported arts programs. Golfers can fine-tune their game at the nearby Reflection Ridge Golf Club, while animal lovers have an easy day trip to Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard. Evenings often bring neighbors together for impromptu lake days, backyard cookouts, and fireworks that reflect off the water each July.
