Homes for Rent in Ulysses, KS

Ulysses is a small southwest Kansas city with a friendly community and quiet surroundings. "There are a lot of people who were born and raised here, but also people who moved here from other states because they've heard about how peaceful it is," says Dianna Olivas, board of education administrative assistant and lifelong resident of Ulysses. The county seat of Grant County is named after Ulysses S. Grant and is home to about 5,800 residents. "It's so diverse here, and there's a good mix of Filipino, Mexican, German and American residents," Olivas says. "Everyone gets along with one another and looks out for one another. It's a very safe place to live and raise a family." The rural area is far from any big city and surrounded by farms as far as the eye can see. But an involved school district, city parks with a range of amenities and relatively inexpensive housing keep lifelong residents like Olivas around. Cape Cods, bungalows and ranch-style homes along the area's gridded streets and in small pocket neighborhoods range between $60,000 and $230,000. Trees shade lawns and sidewalks, and alleyways lead to detached garages or sheds behind small backyards. Many homes south of
