Between a college and shopping areas
Quiet, residential Crestview Heights sits between a major Wichita mall and a Division I state school. This small, rectangular neighborhood is where people live in modest one-story homes, where they walk their dogs down the sidewalks to the neighborhood park and where they can reach Wichita State University and the Bradley Fair outdoor mall in minutes. “It’s a really nice little area,” says J.P. Weigand & Sons Realtor Pamela Hinman. “It’s nearby everything you need, and it’s a really close-knit community.”
Crestview Heights is located near a wide variety of businesses.
Some homes in Crestview Heights have multiple stories.

Winding suburban streets
Crestview Heights came online during the post-World War II aviation production boom. Its architecture, including ranch-style houses with asymmetrical roofs, reflects the design sensibilities of that time. Traditional houses built in the early 2000s also exist here, and most homes sit right next to each other on quarter-acre lots. The roads are enclosed and winding, and most houses have driveways, some with basketball hoops. Home prices range from $149,000 to $377,000.
A few duplexes and triplexes are scattered throughout Crestview Heights.
Crestview Heights yards are often decorated with flowers and small bushes.

Right next to Wichita State
The neighborhood sits right next to Wichita State University. Even though the population of Crestview Heights is mostly renters, there aren’t a lot of college kids living there, Hinman says. Residents still benefit from proximity to the school. The Steve Clark YMCA has a fitness center and indoor basketball courts surrounded by a running track, and the neighborhood is also close to Tyler Field at Eck Stadium, home of WSU Shocker Baseball. While Wichita State has 15 NCAA Division I teams, their only national championship came in 1989. A sculpture garden surrounds WSU’s Ulrich Museum of Art, which features more than 6,700 pieces of work inside.
Wichita State University is located next to Crestview Heights for higher education.

Marine Extremes offers in-home aquariums and has more saltwater fish and coral than anyone else in Wichita.
