Rose Hill draws people looking for space and a small school district
The city of Rose Hill rests about 20 miles southeast of Wichita. Its name comes from one of its early settlers, who had ambitions of growing roses for a nursery business. Today, “it’s a farming community with a relatively small school district, which is a draw for many buyers,” says Carrissa Wells, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Realty, who has lived in the Wichita area all her life. Some Rose Hill residents work for the McConnell Air Force Base or in downtown Wichita but prefer not to live in the big city. “People come here looking for a little more space to spread out,” Wells says.
New traditional home in Rose Hill range from $150K to $460K.

Established neighborhoods and newer developments like Sienna Ranch
Rose Hill offers a variety of housing styles and streetscapes, and lot sizes usually range from about a quarter of an acre to multiple acres. “People seem to like the established neighborhoods, because they tend to have bigger trees and better yards,” Wells says. Along the wide, two-lane South Rose Hill Road, there are a few early 1900s bungalows and some midcentury brick ranch-style homes. Newer subdivisions often feature ranch-style residences with multicar garages and front-facing gables. The majority of sales range from about $150,000 to $460,000, but homes in the gated Sienna Ranch community typically sell between $400,000 and $770,000. Sienna Ranch owners pay about $200 in HOA transfer fees, and monthly HOA dues are usually under $70. Storms may cause Eightmile Creek and low-lying areas to flood, so lenders may require flood insurance. The community’s CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, well below the national average of 4.

Fourth of July fireworks and the annual Rose Hill Fall Festival
Residents gather for a city-wide garage sale each April, and they can watch the Fourth of July fireworks at Shorty Cox Park. The city’s main event is the Rose Hill Fall Festival, a multiday celebration that takes place in October. It features carnival rides, a parade and a street dance. Kids can also compete in the pedal tractor pull, get their faces painted and enter their turtles in a miniature road race.
Car travel to Wichita and the McConnell AFB
There are a few sidewalks in Rose Hill, but most residents depend on cars for travel. Small two-lane, paved roads run through rural farm country and connect with major roads like U.S. Route 400 and Interstate 35, both about 10 miles away. Freight trains periodically pass through the community, which can cause traffic delays and noise pollution. Emergency care is available through the Rock Regional Hospital in nearby Derby. The McConnell Air Force Base is less than 12 miles northwest, and the Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport is around 25 miles northwest.
