Single-family housing on sizable lots within the city
On the west end of Wichita, Orchard Breeze is a mixed commercial and residential neighborhood where residents can find single-family homes for more affordable prices than in other parts of the city. “The biggest selling point for this area is land size,” says Realtor Bernardo Flores, who has 24 years of experience in the Wichita market. “Houses are more spread out, and it makes everything feel more private.” Residents are only four miles from the city’s center, making the commute manageable for downtown workers. Though residents seek sizable lots, they still want to live in an urban environment and value having access to an eclectic collection of local eateries and civic resources like parks and the Orchard Recreation Center.
