Why Live in Rose Hill
The city of Rose Hill rests about 20 miles southeast of Wichita. Its name comes from one of its early settlers, who had ambitions of growing roses for a nursery business. Today, “it’s a farming community with a relatively small school district, which is a draw for many buyers,” says Carrissa Wells, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Realty, who has lived in the Wichita area all her life. Some Rose Hill residents work for the McConnell Air Force Base or in downtown Wichita but prefer not to live in the big city. “People come here looking for a little more space to spread out,” Wells says. Rose Hill offers a variety of housing styles and streetscapes, and lot sizes usually range from about a quarter of an acre to multiple acres. “People seem to like the established neighborhoods, because they tend to have bigger trees and better yards,” Wells says. Along the wide, two-lane South Rose Hill Road, there are a few early 1900s bungalows and some midcentury brick ranch-style homes. Newer subdivisions often feature ranch-style residences with multicar garages and front-facing gables. The majority of sales range from about $150,000 to $460,000, but homes in the gated Sienna Ranch community
