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.
Derby is a great place to grow up/raise a family, but in my experience, once you get to a certain point after growing up here, it gets old quite quickly. It is nice to have many things you need in this small town, with more things that Derby does not have only a short drive away to Wichita.
A nice suburban town in a convenient location. I would like more walkability and diversity, as well as entertainment and eating options.
