A quiet residential community with easy access to downtown Wichita
Courtland is for those seeking a quiet residential lifestyle not too far from Wichita’s many amenities. Surrounded by restaurants, retailers and parks, Courtland offers a well-connected lifestyle. Residents live in midcentury single-story properties, which are common throughout the city. “Homes here don’t hit the market super often, but when they do, they sell quickly,” says Jack Silvers, the broker and owner of River City Realty, who has over 15 years of experience. “You really have to watch this neighborhood to see what’s for sale.” While Courtland is not home to any parks, locals will be less than 4 miles away from a multitude of green spaces, including Cypress Park and MacDonald Golf Course. Another appeal of the neighborhood is its highly-rated schools. Also boasting a convenient location to some of the city’s major employers, among other benefits, Courtland is known as one of the best places to live in Kansas, according to Niche, which gives the neighborhood an A-plus rating.
Courtland homes come in a wide variety of styles.

Midcentury properties: Ranch-style dwellings, small cottages and more
Like many northeastern Wichita neighborhoods, Courtland saw a great housing boom in the early 1950s, mainly due to the rise of the city's aviation industry. As such, many properties that line the neighborhoods’ curving streets reflect midcentury design trends. Courtland’s subdivisions are filled with single-story constructions that range from sprawling ranch-style dwellings to small brick cottages. Properties often feature small porches, which typically have enough room for a seating area and some potted plants. Large picture windows are another common feature of the homes here. Many residents enjoy concrete driveways and garages, but streets are wide enough for people to park. Prices typically range from $88,000 to just upwards of $250,000, depending on the home’s age, size and location. The median lot size is around 8,300 square feet, so properties sit relatively close together, featuring grassy front lawns that stretch towards the street. A narrow brook meanders through the middle of the neighborhood, so while there are no sidewalks, residents can walk on tree-lined streets along the water.
Many of the homes in Courtland have two car garages.

Central Avenue’s many eateries
Courtland residents enjoy easy access to establishments on and around Central Avenue, the community’s northern border. At Happy Teahouse, shoppers sip custom tea blends and can purchase sea moss, which is known for its health benefits. Those craving pizza head to Angelo’s. While this eatery initially shut down in 2006 after 46 years of business, locals liked it so much that they supported a Kickstarter fund, causing Angelo’s to open its doors again. At the nearby Wichita Brewing Company’s east location, patrons enjoy custom craft beers and wood-fired pizza under an exposed ceiling that creates an industrial feel to this brewpub. Locals also have easy access to the Normandy Shopping Center, which features chain restaurants and GreenAcres Market, a health food grocery store. Locals can also pick up groceries at one of the nearby Dillons. For other shopping and dining opportunities, Silvers says many head just a few miles east to the Douglas Design District, an area home to over 500 locally-owned businesses.

Nearby parks, golf courses and a country club
While Courtland is not home to any parks, locals are surrounded by nearby green spaces. Just around half a mile away is the 5.19-acre Cypress Park, which features everything from grassy areas that are perfect for picnics to rocky playground mounds designed by sculptor Dale Eldred. Those wanting a larger outdoor space head 2 miles southwest to the 22-acre College Hill Park.
