Historical neighborhood with new features
“Many South Central residents have lived and worked in the area for their entire lives,” says Nikkel and Associates broker Marti Vo, who has 19 years of experience in the area. Neighbors can settle down in this historic neighborhood, one of the oldest in Wichita, which seems to have a mix of everything. As more railroads and highways were built in the early 1900s, the once entirely residential neighborhood of South Central benefitted from an influx of commercial and industrial additions. The area continues to grow with new businesses and recreation hubs on the Arkansas River among the longstanding houses.
