Central to downtown Manhattan and Aggieville
Home to three parks, Amherst and Miller maintains a green feel despite its convenient location within Manhattan city limits. A ride down the neighborhood’s Arbor Drive builds on this feeling, but the road connects the quiet cul-de-sacs of Amherst and Miller to the national retailers and restaurant chains west of Seth Child Road – one of Manhattan’s thoroughfares. Situated along the western edge of the city, the neighborhood's spacious lots are shaded by evergreen trees. Centrally located to downtown and Kansas State University, Amherst and Miller offers convenient access to the area’s biggest attractions. It is also one of the communities closest to the Fort Riley military base and Manhattan Regional Airport.
Locals head to Aggieville for events, restaurants, shopping, movies and more.
With rolling hills, beautiful homes and plenty to do, Amherst & Miller has everything you need.

Ranch-style homes from the ‘70s to today
While some apartments and townhouses are sprinkled throughout Amherst and Miller, most of the neighborhood comprises ranch-style homes on lots from a quarter-acre to an acre.

Four-bedroom homes range, around $300,000 to $400,000, and properties with at least five bedrooms range from $420,000 to $700,000.

From Anneberg to Stonehaven Park
For a taste of the tranquil Kansas landscape, Warner Memorial Park includes more than 80 acres of preserved forests and prairies. The green space also consists of a disc golf course that embraces the park’s natural features, making it a more challenging terrain than many other courses in the area. For a more traditional park experience, there are a couple of options in Amherst and Miller. “Anneberg Park has a good walking trail. There’s a pond out there, and there’s always activity with kids’ athletic events and co-rec,” says Lori Able of Hallmark Homes, an agent with more than seven years of experience in the Manhattan market. Anneberg Park is home to the Twin Oaks Sports Complex, which includes baseball and soccer fields alongside the park’s playground, trails and fishing lake. Stonehaven Park is another option and the newest of the neighborhood parks. Its concrete walking path weaves along a pond and heads to shaded picnic areas.
The views at Stonehaven Park are breathtaking.
Everyone enjoys the pond and wildlife at Frank Anneberg Park.

Access to USD 383 and nearby K-State
The Manhattan-Ogden Unified School District, #383, serves the neighborhood. Students are zoned for schools receiving A grades from Niche, including Amanda Arnold Elementary, Susan B. Anthony Middle and Manhattan High.

For a postsecondary option, K-State is less than 4 miles away. The campus features over 250 undergraduate programs and enrolls over 20,000 students annually.

Driving distance to Fort Riley and nearby hospitals
Because the bus doesn’t head out quite this far west, the neighborhood is car-dependent. K-State and the Ascension via Christi Hospital are less than 4 miles away, and the main entrance to Fort Riley is about 15 miles away via Highway 18 — also known as Fort Riley Boulevard. For trips out of town, Manhattan Regional Airport is 5 miles away and offers direct flights to Dallas and Chicago.
For those working at Fort Riley, Amherst & Miller is a close neighborhood to the base.
The Manhattan Regional Airport is only 10 minutes from Amherst & Miller.

National retailers and proximity to the oldest shopping district in Kansas
Target and Dollar Tree are at the intersection of Seth Child Road and Fort Riley Boulevard, alongside a Panera Bread. Just across the street are additional stores like The Home Depot and PetSmart. The restaurants of Aggieville, the first shopping and entertainment district in Kansas, are about 4 miles away, including Nico’s Little Italy and So Long Saloon.
Bluestem Bistro is a casual cafe offering pastries, craft beer and Sunday jazz brunch.
Residents in Amherst & Miller might stop by Target for clothes and home decorating items.

Risk of tornadoes across the Little Apple
Because the neighborhood is located in Kansas, tornadoes are something to keep in mind – but not many storms have touched down in Manhattan in the last two decades. “It’s not really a concern. You just have to think about it in late spring or early summer every year. In the 20 years I’ve been here from college, we’ve had two that struck. When I’m shopping for houses with clients, that’s certainly a conversation to make sure it has a basement,” says Scott Seel of Alliance Real Estate, an agent actively working in Manhattan and a former student of K-State. The two tornadoes noted consist of an EF-1 tornado in June 2022 and an EF-4 tornado in 2008.
The Amherst & Miller area is filled with green spaces and beautifully natural parks.
Manhattan Kansas is referred to as The Little Apple.
