Maize Homes for Rent

Maize, founded in 1886, has evolved from its railroad origins into a rapidly growing community near Wichita. The neighborhood is known for its top-tier Maize Unified School District, with highly rated schools like Maize Elementary, Maize Middle, Maize High, and Maize South High. The area features modern housing developments, including custom-built homes on quarter-acre lots, neo-eclectic styles from the early 2000s, and contemporary designs like bright, white modern farmhouses. Many homes include three-car garages and range from 1,200 to 3,500 square feet. Some properties even offer lakeside views with private sandy beaches. Maize boasts a variety of dining and shopping options, particularly along Maize Road and at NewMarket Square, Wichita’s largest outdoor shopping center, just 4 miles away. Local favorites include Buffalo Brew Coffee Company and Barn’rds, known for its roast beef sandwiches. Maize City Park is a community hub with a new rope playground, spray park, and amphitheater for events. The Maize Recreation Commission community center offers year-round activities, including pickleball leagues, sewing classes, and STEM camps for kids. Community events like the Maize Farm & Art Market and the Fall Festival, featuring parades, food trucks, live music, and fireworks, foster a close-knit atmosphere. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, and its proximity to Kansas Highway 96 and Interstate 135 makes Downtown Wichita easily accessible, just 5 miles south.
