Harrison Park residents can easily access Wichita

Named for notable politician William Benjamin Harrison, Wichita’s Harrison Park subdivision is a calm and quiet community with all the makings of suburban serenity while still being in tune with the bustle of the big city. Interstate 35 runs through the area, while East Kellogg Drive serves as its northern border, providing residents with easy access to the rest of the city. Spacious homes hug every corner as locals live, work and play, admiring the scenery, enjoying the amenities and interacting with each other as much as possible, whether at the local sports park or one of Wichita’s many festivals and events.

Neighborhood lives behind white brick wall

A white brick wall surrounds the community, prominently displaying its name at the entrance. The streets of Harrison Park are canopied with mature flourishing trees that provide shade from the summer sun and feature colorful foliage in the fall. The homes in the community share similar style influences, with some being brightly colored and others displaying more muted tones. Traditional-style houses, one- and two-story, are the most prevalent in the area, sitting on sizeable lots that create great outdoor space. Brick and vinyl façades are found on many of the homes, and attached multicar garages are the norm. Prices in this subdivision generally stay in the $200,000 range.
