A central community with reasonably priced homes
Whether Wichita homebuyers are drawn to the Arkansas River’s natural beauty or locally owned restaurants and retailers, Indian Hills offers plenty of both. Those looking to buy in the area will find a handful of businesses and recreational hubs all under the same Indian Hills moniker, making it a west Wichita neighborhood brimming with amenities. “Indian Hills is almost smack dab in the middle of Wichita,” says Realtor and team leader Stephanie Carlson of J.P. Weigand & Sons. “It's close to so many of the city’s best spots, so central location is a huge draw here.” Realtor Isaac Sprague of At Home Wichita Real Estate adds, “Some people don’t like the area, but that has to do with perception.” This reputation is likely fueled by the neighborhood’s perceived low-quality homes with needed updates. “I have clients who live in that area and have no issues,” he says. “Younger families are moving in.”
The homes in Indian Hills are surrounded by mature trees.

Condos, ramblers, bungalows and more
Indian Hills mainly features brick-sided ranch-style homes. Some have classic midcentury details, like low-pitched roofs and massive picture windows. A few even sit on lots over ¼ acre in size. Bungalows with side-gabled or pyramidal roofs and split-level houses are also prominent. “A lot of the houses were built years ago in the early 1900s or the ‘50s,” Carlson says. “They may need some updates or renovations, but they have unmatched character.” Condominiums from the 1970s are also available in the neighborhood, starting at about $100,000 for two-bedroom units. Three-bedroom ranch-style homes might cost around $150,000, while four-bedroom split-levels can reach the low $200,000s. “The market having lower inventory has pushed that area up in value quite a bit,” Sprague says.
