North Central
North Central offers easy living with enviable proximity to the best of Wichita. Weekends often start along the river, where the park system managed by Wichita Park & Recreation threads through Riverside Park, Oak Park, and Sim Park. Within minutes, you can tour curated galleries at the Wichita Art Museum, wander seasonal blooms at Botanica, The Wichita Gardens, experiment your way through Exploration Place, or time-travel at the living-history Old Cowtown Museum. Golfers appreciate the tree-lined fairways at Arthur B. Sim Golf Course, while wildlife lovers catch daily feedings at the riverside exhibit in Riverside Park. Coffee spots and cafés cluster along 13th and Central, with indie arts, eateries, and breweries close by in Riverside, Downtown, and Delano.
Families value strong school options through Wichita Public Schools, highlighted by historic Wichita North High School and nearby magnets, plus abundant after-school fields, courts, and trails. Commuting stays simple via Central, 13th, Waco, and Seneca, and weekend adventures are an easy hop to the Sedgwick County Zoo’s expansive habitats at Sedgwick County Zoo. Housing ranges from handsome Craftsman bungalows and Tudors to midcentury ranches on leafy streets, giving both first-time buyers and long-timers appealing choices.
