Great Neighborhood ! Within walking distance to the restaurants and bars on Douglas and to the College Hill Park. You can also walk to Old Town or you can take the Q line which is a free bus service that the city of Wichita offers. I've never had any issues with crime and the neighbors are very friendly and welcoming.
