#ILoveWichita

Not only has Wichita been named an All-American City five times since 1962, it also consistently ranks among the top cities nationally for quality of life. These accolades communicate affordability, short and easy commutes to work and a high level of public safety for your family - attributes you simply can't find in most metro areas. Wichita's diverse business community truly prizes and encourages entrepreneurship and innovation - values confirmed by companies like Pizza Hut and Coleman Companies, which got their start right here in the middle of the heartland.

Accolades

Best City for First-time Homebuyers in 2023
Money Magazine named Wichita #1 on its Top 10 best places for first-time homebuyers. Wichita provides the affordability, accessibility and stability that are so important for new entrants into the housing market. Market factors of availability and price mean first-time homebuyers have both options and bargaining power.

#1 Among Cities with Lowest Cost of Living 2021
Expenses like groceries, utilities, rent, and gas all depend on where you live, so some cities are just more affordable than others.

More than half of employees nationwide consider work-life balance to be “very important” to their job satisfaction, according to Gallup. Some cities, like Wichita, make it easier for workers to strike a balance between work and play, due to affordable living costs, low commute times and plenty of entertainment opportunities.
