Ken-Mar pairs everyday convenience with an energetic university edge. On the northeast side of Wichita, the neighborhood sits just minutes from downtown, with quick connections along 13th, 17th, and 21st Streets and easy access to I‑135. You’ll find a mix of mid-century ranches, tidy bungalows, and student-friendly rentals, plus ongoing reinvestment near the Wichita State corridor that keeps amenities close and commutes short.
Weekends here often orbit around campus life. Residents catch performances, lectures, and festivals at Wichita State University, browse thought‑provoking exhibitions at the Ulrich Museum of Art, or cheer on the Shockers through Shocker Athletics. Green space is close by, too; Fairmount Park offers playgrounds, courts, and open lawns, maintained by Wichita Parks & Recreation. Cyclists and joggers weave into nearby trail segments for easy exercise without leaving the neighborhood. For errands and dining, corridors along 13th and 21st deliver everyday essentials alongside evolving campus‑adjacent options.
Families appreciate the strong network of public schools served by Wichita Public Schools (USD 259), with magnet and neighborhood programs and the added benefit of university partnerships right next door. Transit riders can connect across the city via Wichita Transit, while drivers appreciate straightforward routes to employment hubs and shopping.
