Charm and convenience meet
Midcentury cottages and ranch homes line the leafy streets of Longview, a residential community just south of popular College Hill and about 4 miles east of downtown Wichita. It’s also close to Ascension Via Christi St. Joseph Hospital, making it ideal for healthcare workers who want to live close to where they work. “Longview has a lot of junior ranch homes with two- to three-bedrooms and one-car garages. But the north end is a little more upscale with larger, 1940s-era homes,” says Jack Silvers, owner of River City Realty, who has worked in real estate in the city for more than four decades.
Downtown Wichita is only a few miles from Longview.

Vintage styles surrounded by beautiful nature
Longview is full of foliage and tall, mature trees that bloom brightly in the springtime, and provide lots of shade during those hot summer months. Small ranch homes, bungalows and cottages are the most common home type here with floorplans that range from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet. Mid-sized lots occupy 6,000 to 7,000 square feet, so there’s plenty of space for landscaping with local flora or throwing a backyard barbecue. Homes typically list for between $125,000 and $175,000, although some in need of significant improvements have sold for less. “It’s quite a bit cheaper than College Hill, which is just north over the highway, but you’re just outside the neighborhood,” Silvers says.
It is common to find Longview homes with red brick accents.
Most homes in Longview have one-car garages.
