Where Wichita Gets Its Crown Jewels

🧭Generally defined as the area: Between 13th and 21st Streets, running from Ridge Road west to West Street, tucked into central Wichita's northwest quadrant

📌Best known for: Tree lined streets and houses that have front porches and that "neighborhood" feel

👕You'll fit in if: You mow twice a week, know everyone's dog's name, and bring the dip to the block party

👍Move here for: Walkable blocks where kids still ride bikes to school and neighbors look out for each other

👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: Bumper ot bumper parking during neighborhood garage sale season every spring

The overall feel is: Quiet streets, big shade trees, and the kind of place where people stick around
