There are a wide variety of shops and stores throughout Northeast K-96.
A neighborhood filled with commercial options along Kansas Highway 96
Northeast K-96 may be named for the state highway spanning its southern region, but residents of this Wichita enclave won’t even need to hop on the thoroughfare to reach plenty of essentials. “It’s between Woodlawn Boulevard and North Rock Road, and those are two very convenient streets for shopping and eating,” says Jack Silvers, the owner-broker of River City Realty, who has sold multiple homes in the area. Places like Sam’s Club and Taco Bell surround a variety of New Traditional dwellings and mid-rise apartment complexes. North Chisholm Creek Park also borders the neighborhood to the west, where anglers can fish from the grassy shore around the lake, and hikers can trek a 2-and-a-half-mile trail.
There are a wide variety of home styles found throughout Northeast K-96.
A rental-heavy enclave with large, New Traditional dwellings
Cul-de-sacs at the core of Northeast K-96 are brimming with homes built through the late 1990s and early 2000s. Houses with Tudor-style elements sit on quarter-acre lots dotted with young oak trees and enclosed by picket fences. Four-bedroom L-shaped ranch styles feature brick-and-vinyl facades and two-car garages. “There’s a few tri-levels here, which is a rarity for this part of Wichita,” says Silvers. “The houses are big. Some also have five bedrooms, but they are well-priced, and that’s one of the main selling points.” Though the neighborhood is 71% renters, buying here typically costs between $200,000 and $250,000, a range similar to a Wichita home’s average $250,000 selling point. Renters will find one-bedroom apartments at Eaglerock Village costing around $700 per month, while two-bedroom townhouses costing around $1,000 at The Vineyards complex.

Anoor Islamic School is a private option in the neighborhood, serving preschool through high school students since 1989.
