Vickridge
Suburban Neighborhood in Wichita, Kansas
Sedgwick County 67206
Mid-century homes with an old-world feel
Vickridge has approximately 100 four- to six-bedroom houses fixed on some of the most spacious lots in Wichita. “The acreage is great here,” says Seidl. “Residents love how much privacy they get, even though it is so conveniently located.” Most houses were built in the late 1960s and early 1970s on half to 2.5 acres of land. Many feature Colonial and Tudor influences, reminiscent of an earlier time period. There are also several sprawling ranch-style houses and a few homes with Mediterranean architecture scattered around the neighborhood. Any one of these home styles can range from 3,500 to 13,000 square feet. It’s common for homes to have semi-circle driveways in the front and a second driveway with a private gate on the side that leads to an attached or detached garage. Backyard pools and tennis courts are also prominent features of many homes. A 3,500 to 4,500-square-foot property tends to sell for around $750,000 to $800,000. Larger houses with 5,000 to 7,000 square feet of living space go for around $850,000 to $950,000. Anything larger than that will typically be around $1 million to $1.5 million.Close to Wichita Country Club and Edgemoor Park
Wichita Country Club is a block north of Vickridge, where members can play golf and tennis or swim in the outdoor pool. Edgemoor Park is one of the closest municipal parks to Vickridge. The 25-acre park is iconic for its splash pad, where kids visit during the summer to have buckets of water poured on them. The park also has a concrete skatepark with metal ramps, tennis courts and a recreation center used for youth basketball leagues and adult fitness classes. The park’s walkway leads to a bridge over Dry Creek that leads to Wichita Public Library’s Rockwell Branch, which offers book clubs and story time for children every week.

Home of the Crusaders
Kaupan Mt. Carmel Catholic High School is located on the south side of Vickridge. The private school receives an A-minus grade from Niche and is known for its powerhouse sports program in the state’s 5A Division. The Crusaders have won more state titles in football, wrestling and golf than any other school in Kansas. Its most recent state championship wins include boys basketball and boys golf in 2024. Though the school has a practice football field, the team actually plays at a separate venue each year, so homeowners don’t have to worry about loud Friday night games with bright lights. Wichita Collegiate School is just 2 miles away. It receives an A-plus grade and is ranked the best private K-12 school in the state, offering a rigorous college preparatory curriculum.Public school students attend Minneha Elementary, which earns a C-plus and offers a curriculum through the non-profit Core Knowledge Foundation. They’ll go on to C-graded Coleman Middle, where they can learn about sustainable farming and beekeeping through the school’s environmental magnet program. Wichita Southeast High receives a C-plus and is ranked the second-most diverse high school in Kansas.
6 miles from Downtown Wichita, a city prone to tornadoes
U.S. Route 400 is about 1 mile south of Vickridge. From there, it’s a 6-mile drive west to Downtown Wichita and 13 miles west to Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport.Like any place in Wichita, Vickridge has the potential of being impacted by severe weather, as the city is located in the Midwest’s “Tornado Valley.” The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been tracking tornadoes since 1950 and has not recorded one in Vickridge since.

Residents can exit the neighborhood onto North Rock Road or East Central Avenue, two main roads with dozens of retailers and restaurants. Many businesses are located at the intersections, including Dillons, where locals can get their groceries. There are many national chain restaurants, along with local favorites.

People also like to hit up Sweet Pop’s for Taiwanese shaved ice and boba tea. Town East Square, an indoor shopping mall with more than 100 stores and restaurants, is just 1 mile south. The open-air Bradley Fair Shopping Center is also just 2 miles north, featuring dozens of national retailers and even more restaurants.
