Why residents choose Woodlawn Village
Five miles east of downtown Wichita, Woodlawn Village is a sought-after neighborhood with single-family housing on sizable lots. Initially developed in the 1950s, it’s one of Wichita’s more established neighborhoods, filled with well-maintained ranch-style and midcentury modern homes. “The houses in Woodlawn Village are so well-made that most of them haven’t changed since they were built,” says Realtor Jack Silvers, a Wichita native who’s been a Realtor since 1980. This sense of stability and establishment attracts Wichita families, especially those seeking both convenience to downtown and plenty of space for children and pets. Residents relax at neighborhood parks and the Wichita Country Club, dine at an array of local eateries and shop at Towne East Square, the biggest mall in central Kansas. Together, these elements create the conditions for Woodlawn Village residents to live an optimized lifestyle full of modern conveniences, all within a traditional and established neighborhood.
There are several unique home designs throughout Woodlawn Village.
Ranch-style and mid-century modern housing
Woodlawn Village was developed primarily in the 1950s and ‘60s, making ranch-style homes the most common housing option. Interiors of the neighborhood’s original homes are typically either meticulously maintained or recently restored. Some homes lean mid-century modern, and occasional newer constructions like Tudor revivals and traditional-style homes hit the market occasionally. Homes in Woodlawn Village typically have spacious lawns, and some even have backyard pools. There are also some condo options in the neighborhood, like The Chaumont, a French chateau-inspired village with one- and two-bedroom options. The neighborhood’s four- to five-bedroom homes never take long to sell; they “rarely make it past a week on the market,” Silver says. Prices in Woodlawn Village tend to fall between $250,000 and $400,000, and the median list price hovers around $300,000. On the low end, buyers can find one-bedroom condos for under $100,000; on the high end, large, recently renovated homes sometimes sell for upwards of $500,000.
