Midtown Homes for Rent

Midtown, located along the eastern banks of the Little Arkansas River in Wichita, is a historic neighborhood dating back to 1865. Known for its Victorian-style estates designed by architect William Henry Sternberg, the area features a mix of industrial, commercial, and residential zones. The neighborhood is home to the 3-mile Little Arkansas River Path, which connects residents to green spaces like Central Riverside Park and the iconic Keeper of the Plains statue. Midtown's streets are lined with homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s, including red-brick Tudor cottages, Craftsman-style bungalows, Queen Anne mansions, and American Foursquares. While many homes are older and may require restoration, they offer unique architectural charm. Local attractions include the Kansas African American Museum, The Sewing History Museum, and the Robert D. Love Downtown YMCA. Dining options range from cozy Mexican restaurants like Mi Lindo Michoacan and Rico’s to the Irish-themed Artichoke Sandwichbar. For shopping, residents can visit nearby chains like Walmart Supercenter and Aldi, located 4 miles north. The neighborhood is car-dependent, with U.S. Route 400 providing access to the Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, 6 miles west. Public transportation is available through Wichita Transit stops scattered throughout the area.
