A variety of home styles and plenty of college students live in East Campus
East Campus sits on the edge of Kansas State University, one of about 10 neighborhoods surrounding the school, with homes built between 1920 and 2020. The southern half of the neighborhood features about 400 small to mid-size bungalows, split-levels, ranch-style homes and a few colonial-style homes.

In addition to single-family homes and rental houses, buyers will find a few college sororities inside East Campus, including Kappa Alpha Theta and Chi Omega. “The most important thing that home buyers need to know about East Campus,” says Realtor Nancy Woodford with Blanton Realty, and a real estate agent for more than 30 years, “is that this is a high-rental neighborhood with lots of college students. You simply cannot separate the campus from the neighborhood.”

Homes in the southern half of East Campus are about 1 mile from the center of K-State’s main campus, allowing students and faculty quick access. While a majority of homes in East Campus are rented to college students, Realtor Megan Thornton, with Keller Williams One Legacy Partners and a Manhattan real estate agent for nearly four years, says, “While primarily a neighborhood of college rental houses, there are upscale homes near the Country Club, occupied by families who’ve lived there for 40-50 years. There are also homes in the northern and eastern parts of East Campus, farthest from campus, owned by professors and university employees.” Old-house lovers who want to tackle renovations themselves or investors looking for rental property will find two-bedroom bungalows from the 1920s from about $115,000 to $175,000. Four-bedroom houses with front porches and separate basement apartments have recently sold from $255,000 to $300,000. Single-family split-level homes have recently sold from about $300,000 to $500,000.
