Only 20 miles east of Wichita, the city of Augusta is the perfect suburb for commuters. Residents of Augusta enjoy proximity to job opportunities, major attractions, and conveniences like Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, Botanica, Exploration Place, and Wichita State University. Although proximity to this major metro area is a benefit for renters, Augusta has plenty to offer on its own. This small town is home to Augusta Lake and Santa Fe Lake, accompanied by lakefront community parks like Robert Shryock Park and Augusta Dog Park. When residents aren’t enjoying fishing, hiking, swimming, and boating, you can find them golfing at the Augusta Country Club. Families appreciate the great public schools in town and the kid-friendly atmosphere. Rentals in the area are very affordable — another perk for renters.
