A range of neatly perched architectural styles
The residential neighborhood’s quadratic blocks are evenly studded with two and three-story houses shaded by an established canopy of trees. Homes in the northern part of the neighborhood reflect National styles, many with side-gabled or front-wing layouts. Further south, home styles diversify; homebuyers may find a Victorian-era Colonial Revival next to a Craftsman or Tudor-inspired cottage. The median price for real estate here is $144,000, though listing prices may range from fixer-upper bungalows for $50,000 to cozy, renovated traditional style for $375,000.
Scenic spaces at MacDonald Golf Course
Spanning the west side of the neighborhood, MacDonald Golf Course is a popular destination for golfers. The 18-hole, 72-par course is public and maintained by the city, offering a scenic backdrop with its almost 7,000 yards of pristine greens dappled with cottonwood trees and picturesque ponds. Avid golfers can also take advantage of the newly completed driving range on the northwest side of the course. Adjacent MacDonald Park also provides a public playground, swing set and picnic area. Folks may also head to nearby Edgemoor Park for its splash pad, skate park, and recreation center, which offers additional sporting facilities like basketball courts. For history and entertainment, locals may also visit the Frank Lloyd Wright Allen House or the Wichita Community Theater.
Strong academics at Wichita High School
Students may attend schools within the Wichita Public Schools District, such as Adams Elementary School, which earns a C-minus score from Niche. Kids advance to Robinson Middle School for sixth through eighth grade before attending Wichita High School East. Both schools earn a B-plus overall grade from Niche. The high school has operated for 100 years and is lauded for its strong International Baccalaureate program.
Easy access to US Route 400 and downtown Wichita
Most residents rely on cars for transportation, though public transportation is also readily available. Country Overlook has a convenient location between US Route 400, which runs east and west, and US Highway 81, which runs north and south. Bus stops scattered along Oliver Street, East 13th Street North, and East Central Avenue provide connections to downtown Wichita and neighboring communities. For further travel, residents catch flights out of Wichita Dwight D Eisenhower National Airport less than 10 miles west.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
