Why Live in College Hill

College Hill in Topeka, located just north of Washburn University, is a historic neighborhood with nearly 300 preserved homes dating back to the late 1800s. The area is known for its mature trees, planted by the university's president, Peter McVicar, which provide ample shade and enhance the neighborhood's charm. The community is active and engaged, with many civic volunteers and elected officials residing within its bounds. Boswell Square Park, a central attraction, offers a playground, basketball court, field, gazebo, and tree-lined walkway, and hosts community events such as the annual Fourth of July parade and Wall of Fame induction. Homes in College Hill feature a variety of architectural styles, including Craftsman bungalows, Victorian homes, Colonial Revivals, and English-style cottages, each unique and documented by the National Registry of Historic Places. The neighborhood's proximity to Washburn University means many professors and students live here, contributing to its vibrant atmosphere. Local dining options on Southwest 17th Street include popular cafes like Coffee Bar and Circle Coffee Co., as well as Mexican eateries Margarita's Jalisco and Fuzzy's Taco Shop. For shopping, residents travel about 4 miles west to West Ridge Mall and other retailers on Wanamaker Road. While the neighborhood lacks bike lanes, crosswalks connect to bike lanes on the university campus, and Topeka Metro buses provide convenient transportation throughout the city. Interstate 70, running through downtown Topeka, offers easy access to Kansas City, approximately 60 miles east.
