Andover Reviews
Rating 4.07 out of 5 67 reviews
Andover is perfectly located on the outskirts of Wichita with plenty of nice suburban neighborhoods, golf courses, shopping centers, churches, and activities for the locals. One of my favorite things about Andover is its Central Park, featuring the Library, City Hall, an amphitheater, dog park, playground, pond, and disk golf. Andover also has access to the Red Bud Trail, a community service project between Wichita, Andover, and Augusta to provide a safe space for multiple types of physical activity.
Andover is an isolated suburb of Wichita, but one that places importance on education and athletics. Diversity in Andover is very low and the majority of residents are white. Because Andover is so small, there is a feeling of community throughout the suburb. There is a yearly parade that brings people from all over the community of Andover together to celebrate for two to three days.
It feels much safer than other areas within the city of Wichita, but is still conveniently close enough to all the attractions Wichita has to offer. It's like getting the best of both worlds. The cost is a little higher, but worth it, as you get to experience kind and helpful neighbors, a beautiful park, and peace of mind with less crime than neighboring areas.
