Northeast Heights is a great place to live for College Students.
Northeast Heights is surrounded by Koch Industries and Wichita State University
Northeast Heights is a midcentury enclave tucked between major Midwestern hubs. Two miles north of residential streets, Koch Industries' 200-acre campus employs around 3,000 Wichitans. “It’s the corporate headquarters. None of the factories or plants are here, but it’s still one of the largest employers in the state,” says Bernardo Flores, the owner-broker of Fiesta Real Estate, who has sold multiple homes in the area. Immediately south is Wichita State University, meaning residents may hear the crack of a baseball bat from Wilkins Stadium or crowds cheering for track stars at Cessna Stadium. The neighborhood is also near other Wichita destinations, such as 126-acre Dr. Glen Dey Park and the Bradley Fair Shopping Center, home to over 50 retailers and restaurants.
Modest ranch styles and contemporary designs near sorority houses
Homes north of 25th Street are typically three-to-four-bedroom ranch styles on 10,000-square-foot lots enclosed by wooden fences. Winding roads to the south have sprawling ranch styles with contemporary details, such as picture windows and flat or asymmetrical roofs, located on 1-acre parcels. Though Northeast Heights doesn’t have sidewalks, it’s not uncommon to see sorority girls walking to class, as several Greek-life houses line Omega Court in the neighborhood’s southernmost region. Buying here typically costs between $150,000 and $300,000, a range similar to a Wichita home’s average $250,000 selling price. “There are a good amount of rental properties here, but there’s still plenty of non-college residents for it not to be considered a totally student-heavy neighborhood,” says Flores.

Kids love to climb on the playground at Dr. Glen Dey Park near North Wichita.
Playgrounds at Dr. Glen Dey Park and easy access to the K-96 Bike Trail
Dr. Glen Dey Park is immediately west of the neighborhood, making it easy for locals to walk or bike along its 2-mile sidewalk system. The basketball courts host pickup games, while the football field holds youth games every fall. From the eastern playground’s modern merry-go-round to the tire swing zip-line at the western option, the park is filled with activities for children. A portion of the 8-mile K-96 Bike Trail is in Northeast Height’s northern region. Its paved terrain passes through prairie land, eventually connecting to the 2-mile Chisholm Creek Trailhead at Oliver Street. A trek along this nature trail ends at the Great Plains Nature Center, a Kansas wildlife museum.
