Northwest Big River
Set along a meandering stretch of the Arkansas River in Wichita, Northwest Big River blends everyday convenience with easy access to some of the city’s favorite destinations. The paved Arkansas River Path traces the neighborhood’s edge, drawing cyclists, runners, and strollers to sunrise views, wildlife sightings, and weekend rides connecting to downtown. Families love being minutes from hands-on discovery at Exploration Place, close encounters at the Sedgwick County Zoo, and seasonal blooms at Botanica Wichita. Art lovers can pop over to the Wichita Art Museum for exhibitions and riverside sculpture walks.
Tree-lined streets and mid-century homes give the area a relaxed, established feel, while quick access to Zoo Boulevard, 13th Street, and I‑235 makes commuting across Sedgwick County straightforward. Nearby dining and coffee spots in Riverside and Delano expand options for an easy night out without straying far from home.
Northwest Big River is served by Wichita Public Schools (USD 259), with neighborhood families frequently connected to McLean Science & Technology Magnet Elementary. Outdoor play, school events, and community activities often spill onto the river path and local parks, fostering a strong sense of place for long-timers and newcomers alike.
