Residential West Campus shares its borders with Kansas State University
“When newcomers visit Manhattan, one of the first places people show them around is West Campus,” says Realtor Nancy Woodford with Blanton Realty. "I tell buyers that living in West Campus is like living in a city park. They’ll find green space, gardens, walkways and interesting sculptures across the campus. It’s truly a beautiful place to live.”
Kansas State University's campus occupies about half the neighborhood, while the west and north areas are mostly residential. “The homes are what sells West Campus,” says Woodford, a real estate agent for more than 30 years. "There’s such a wide variety of styles here, and they are some of the prettiest homes in Manhattan. Homeowners in West Campus just love their yards.”
Along with proximity to the university, two distinct shopping areas are within 2 miles, as is a large multi-faceted park.
Sitting in the center of Manhattan, West Campus is close to many parks, shops and restaurants.
