Derby is a unique town with a lot of positives! In many ways, it is like living in a small town, but has many of the amenities of a city and is a suburb of Wichita... so you can easily get to big-city resources in a short drive. Derby has lots of green spaces, excellent parks, bike paths, river access, community facilities and programs, great schools, and decent restaurants. There are plenty of local favorites for shopping, dining, etc. Bittersweet is the best place to find unique gifts including custom clothing! Derby Donut is famous for their delicious treats and they have gluten-free once a week! Derby is a city that is continually growing and improving, so it's a great place to live right now.
Meh. It’s nice and quiet, moved here in the middle of the pandemic last year for a job from 800 miles away. Divorced, no children so I have no involvement with schools, which seem to be the primary reason anyone lives here. People are frankly standoffish, definitely not the most welcoming and I’ve lived in 11 states. So I work out, work on my house and walk a lot in the mornings on nice walking paths around town. If I stay in the area I plan to move to Wichita where there’s more to do and also seems to be a lot more welcoming to singles.
Derby is a great family-friendly place to live. There are plenty of jobs for teenagers, and most of the residents work in Wichita which is only twenty-thirty minutes away. There are many parks and great school around for younger kids, there is even a water park! Derby is a great place to live and raise a family.
