Wichita, Kansas

[Norm reynolds]

Hi all and happy new year
Looking for some information about Wichita, Kansas.
My son got me started about this Have been living in Philly for over 30 years.
And I am now on disability. Looking to move out of the rat race here and move some place not as nuts as this place. My son has showed me homes online in Kansas and real
Nice going for about 190.000 in Kansas same type of house would be selling for around 6-7000.000 here
It would seem that the cost of living is much cheaper in Kansas. But I do not know anything about Kansas Would like to know the good the bad about it.
Love to move out of this row home in the city to a single home out side the city
But out side Philly homes are high priced and the traffic here is getting to the point where you just waste gas sitting and I just not stand it any more there are times it would take you an hour to go 10 miles. And the stress level her in Philly is just to much . every one is just so keyed up
Plus the home he just showed me in Wichita had a 3 car garage something I just do not have now. So any one that live out in Kansas would love to know if it is worth checking it out

The joke here in Missouri is "Nebraska SUCKS, and Kansas BLOWS!" No offense to any Huskers or Jayhawks on the board intended! But if you like flat farmland, with a constant wind gust, and tornadoes, then Kansas is for you!

Seriously, though, the housing/cost of living will no doubt be cheaper anywhere here in rural the Midwest...Steve Hodges (71-LS6) is out in Baldwin City, KS, and Rusty Small's kinfolk all live across the border in wheat/corn country...

Hi Rob
Yea I thought about the tornadoes, I do not know if it is a problem with all Of Kansas??
What brought it up is my son has a co worker that lived out there all her life. about a year ago her husbands job transfured him to philly. They tell my son that they can not stand it here cost to much to much traffic and just to much stress
Any way She told him that the town were she used to live never had any problems with tornadoes ./ like I said I do not know much about it but a 4 bed room house with three car garage for 190.000 here it will cost at lest 600.000
yea thats got me thinking I would kill to have a garage
just might get me back in to the cars thing
also might br looking at other states

Ain't nothing wrong with Kansas, Norm...my personal opinion is, you can't go wrong anywhere here in the Midwest...the good, clean air will do ya some good!

Norm,

I spent six months in Joplin, MO. I was running a project for Missouri Gas Energy. I found the people to be some of hardest working and most honest around. This is true for most of the midwest To be honest if my kids were not in school, I would most likely be living in the mid west, quite possibly Joplin. I miss Stoudts Pizza, over 200 beers available

Norm, Say it ain't so. You can't move from the Philly area!!! What about the Liberty Bell? What about 45 minutes from Atco? What about 75 minutes from Maple Grove. How about 40 minutes from Atlantic City? What about Carlisle? New York City just 90 minutes away! Not to mention cheesesteaks, soft pretzels, TastyKakes, scrapple and....GTO DON!!! Won't you miss Rocky Balboa? Say it ain't so Norm! Especially to the wind torn, dust bowl of the country! There are NO beaches in Kansas. No Norm don't do it! You will be missed greatly.

We bought our House 3 years ago, 3 Bdrm, 2 bath, Attached 2 car Garage it was Brand New paid $130.00. Added a Seperate 2 car for $30,000. Nice area.
