Historically, Wichitans were drawn to College Hill for its prominent place in the city and panoramic views from the gently rising hill. Today, College Hill retains its Midtown heritage where home owners find themselves in the center of Wichita life, just minutes from work, play, learning and entertainment.
Access to Wichita’s Mid–Continent Airport is a quick and easy drive: about ten minutes and you’re there.
The rooftops of HCA Wesley Medical Center and Wichita Clinic can be seen from Parkstone, less than a mile away. Many College Hill youngsters walk to school with Wichita K-12 and magnet schools nearby. Wichita State University, Friends and Newman University are minutes from your Parkstone home.
At the eastern edge of College Hill is Lincoln Heights Village, a longtime favorite shopping area with an eclectic mix of locally owned businesses including cafes, salon and spa, bookstore and coffee shop, jewelers, fashion, florist and much more. Near the heart of College Hill is Clifton Square, a charming and entertaining shopping village filled with unique gifts, accessories and more.
The southwestern end of College Hill offers more dining, shopping and entertainment options, including grocery and hardware store within several blocks. In the future, as it develops between Oliver and Washington Streets creating a special section of the city, look for the Douglas Design District focused on home interiors and design.
Business is bustling west of Parkstone in the Old Town District and in downtown Wichita, the city’s center of financial activity. The Old Town landscape is an eclectic offering of shopping and dining establishments with legal, architecture, publishing, internet and advertising firms in the mix.
