Avalon Park is a quiet subdivision near shopping and top-rated schools
Just outside of Maize, in the northwestern section of Wichita, Avalon Park is a quarter-square-mile subdivision with a systematic layout of tract homes developed in the early 2000s. With a $700 monthly homeowners association fee, residents enjoy several perks, including a community pool and playground, ten small fishing ponds and lawn maintenance that keeps properties looking pristine. While the neighborhood isn’t in Maize, it’s zoned to the well-respected Maize Unified School District. “It’s a quiet, traditional neighborhood, and it’s close to a ton of shopping and restaurants. But the schools are probably the biggest draw,” says Natasha Anderson, team leader and Realtor with Elite Real Estate Experts, who services the neighborhood.
Quarter-acre lots with bi-level homes and three-car garages
Avalon Park’s cul-de-sacs are lined with neo-eclectic houses on quarter-acre lots. Though they all have similar bi-level layouts with three-car garages, each one has its own personality with different sidings, like brick, stone and vinyl in various shades. Most homes have fenced-in backyards with covered decks, some of which face the community’s fishing ponds. These homes typically offer around 2,500 to 3,500 square feet of living space with four to five bedrooms. They tend to sell for around $350,000 to $450,000.

A community pool and playground are at the heart of the area
Some residents live just a few feet from the community pool and playground at the center of Avalon Park, while others are no more than a half-mile away. The ten ponds are spread out all over the neighborhood, so it’s easy for residents to walk to a fishing spot. The community has two entrances to a 9-acre nature trail that runs through thick woods by the Big Slough, another fishing spot. Sedgwick County Park is about 4 miles away, featuring 400 acres of trails, fishing lakes, sports facilities and its “Boundless Playground,” created for children of all abilities. The Sedgwick County Zoo is right next to the park with more than 3,000 animals.
