Neighborly, suburban HOA community
A suburban homeowners association in Northwest Wichita, Aberdeen offers a systematic streetscape of cul-de-sacs lined with newer single-family homes and several lakes. The neighborhood’s diverse residents find it to be a warm and welcoming community. “We have new families all the way up to retirees,” says Jerry Proffitt, who has lived in Aberdeen since 2002 and has served as the HOA president since 2009. “It’s very neighborly – very Midwestern. Everyone is willing to help you. If you need something, you go ask your neighbor.” Locals also enjoy living close to all the shopping and dining options in Wichita’s largest outdoor shopping center and being part of a highly rated school district.
Wichita's largest outdoor shopping center
Residents are no more than a 2-mile drive from NewMarket Square, Wichita’s largest outdoor shopping center with more than 80 retailers, restaurants and services. Shopping options include a wide range of big box stores like Walmart, Target and Old Navy. They’re mixed with several popular brand retailers like Eddie Bauer Outlet, Ulta and Pandora Jewelry. The shopping center also features a mix of local restaurants and national and regional chains. Local favorites include Avivo, known for its brick oven pizza, and Emerson Biggin’s, a popular sports bar with an arcade. Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux is another hot spot for game day, offering its famous alligator bites and a cozy patio next to a pond. For dessert, people will typically hit up Cocoa Dolce, known across the city for its hand-crafted Belgian chocolate treats.
Highly sought-after Maize Unified School District
Aberdeen is a part of the Maize Unified School District, and every school zoned to Aberdeen has an A-minus grade from Niche. Students begin their studies at Maize Elementary School before going on to Maize Middle and finishing their degrees at Maize High. The high school is ranked the 38th best out of 333 in the state and offers a College and Career Readiness Center designed to help students develop a solid plan after graduation. It also scores a 9 out of 10 regarding college readiness on GreatSchools, with 25% of students in dual enrollment classes.
A trend of new traditional ranch-style homes
Aberdeen is made up of new traditional ranch-style houses built throughout the late 1900s and early 2000s. Lined along cul-de-sacs, these single-family homes sit on quarter-acre lots with young trees on well-manicured yards taken care of by lawn services. They feature attached two- and three-car garages and fenced-in backyards, some of which face the community’s lakes, beautified by fountains. Aberdeen’s smallest homes offer around 900 to 1,000 square feet of living space with two bedrooms, selling for around $250,000 to $275,000. There are also many 1,500- to 2,500-square-foot homes with three to four bedrooms, ranging from $275,000 to $315,000. Homes don't hit the market often, but when they do, they tend to sell fast. "Driving through, you'll hardly see a 'for sale' sign," says Proffitt. "The last house I saw go up sold in five days."
Private lakes, public wetlands and a YMCA water park
Residents can enjoy private access to Aberdeen’s five catch-and-release fishing ponds stocked with catfish and largemouth bass. “Fishing is open to residents and their guests,” says Proffitt, “You can walk all around them. We also have two play areas on the lakes with pavilions. I see kids out there all the time.” Locals also live right by the 90-acre Pracht Wetlands Park, one of the few remaining wetlands in the Midwest, where nature enthusiasts can access diverse terrain filled with flowering lily pads and aquatic wildlife, viewed from an elevated boardwalk. Sunset Park, just a few miles east, provides 20 acres of open green space with sports fields, tennis courts and a playground. The Ken Shannon Northwest YMCA, located two miles west, is another fun place where locals can splash in the outdoor water park or head inside to swim laps in the indoor pool, climb the rock wall or join a fitness program.
Neighborhood cleanups, garage sales and future holiday parties
Neighbors take care of the landscape by gathering for seasonal cleanups to keep the neighborhood pristine. The HOA also hosts weekend community-wide garage sales and plans to hold more holiday parties. According to Proffitt, Aberdeen used to have Christmas parties and other celebrations at Northwest Christian Church and Evangel Assembly of God, two houses of worship in the neighborhood. That was until the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Proffitt says those events will eventually return.
Getting to downtown and the airport
Wichita Transit provides public buses along Maize Road by NewMarket Square. However, most people get around by driving their own cars along Wichita’s grid-pattern main roads. Interstate 235 is about 5 miles east, which commuters can take to U.S. Route 400 for a total 11-mile drive to Downtown Wichita. It’s also a 6-mile drive south to Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport.
Low crime scores
Aberdeen has one of the lowest crime scores in Wichita, with a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
