Delano Township offers modern amenities in a formerly rural setting
Tucked in Wichita's northwestern region, Delano Township is a growing suburban sprawl offering lakeside living, ample private community hubs and rural tranquility. Prior to the last decade, the area sat empty, and while much of the terrain remains untouched, custom-built homes in the Sandcrest and Emerald Bay Estates communities have made it a sought-after residential enclave. “People here are looking to get out of the city but not abandon its convenience,” says Jack Silvers, the owner-broker of River City Realty, who has sold homes in Wichita for over 40 years. Residents enjoy easy access to Sedgwick County Park, the city’s largest green space, and the countless commercial options along West 21st Street, which are all less than a 5-mile drive away. “It’s also zoned for the highly rated Maize Unified School District, and that’s a massive draw,” says Silvers.

Sandscrest and Emerald Bay Estates have contemporary builds, clubhouses and lakeside amenities
Sidewalk-lined streets in Sandcrest and Emerald Bay Estates are dotted with young willow trees and homes costing between $700,000 and $2 million, a range higher than a Wichita home’s average $250,000 selling price. Sprawling contemporary estates have three-car garages and meticulously maintained 1-acre lots. Five-bedroom New Traditional dwellings often have boat docks on one of the area’s private, spring-fed lakes, where swimming and water skiing are also permitted. Waterfront homes may be more susceptible to flooding; however, the stone retaining walls help mitigate that risk. Both communities have clubhouses, offering pools and boat ramps for residents without docks. “There’s still development happening,” says Rivers. “People can buy half-acre lots or bigger, and custom build their house.” Empty lots typically start at $150,000 here.
Emerald Bay Estates is another sub-division of Delano Township, boasting with lake-side homes.
A plethora of custom-built homes in the Sandcrest community have made this a residential oasis.

Sedgwick County Park is fun for animal lovers, artists and the Irish
Sedgwick County Park borders Delano Township’s southern region, making its 400 acres easily accessible. A 4-mile sidewalk network surrounds the green space’s numerous lakes, like Tom Scott Lake, where anglers can catch bass off the dock. Dotted with totem poles, buffalo statues and limestone carvings, the winding art walk showcases Kansas culture. “The park is probably most visited for the Sedwick County Zoo,” says Silvers. “They have camps for kids and concerts for adults every Tuesday night during the summer.” There are also numerous athletic complexes, from softball diamonds to the rollerblade hockey rink. Knights and dragons visit the park every spring for the annual Great Plains Renaissance Festival, and bagpipers and kilt-wearing Irishmen flock to the area in the fall for the Highland Games and Celtic Festival.
