Wellington

• Town in Kansas
• Rating 2.37 out of 5  30 reviews

Current Resident: Wellington, Kansas is a lovely community only 30 minutes south of Wichita via Interstate 35 or US Highway 81. It's a great, quiet place to raise kids with excellent state level athletic programs, a historic movie theater, an active recreation/fitness center, beautiful parks, with many community service organizations and churches. There are enough shopping options that you don't necessarily need to leave town to find what you need. New small businesses are opening regularly and thriving! We have two bodies of water within the city limits, a large public park with a waterfall and disc golf. Wellington lake is a short 4 mile drive from town and offers many camping options, swimming beach, and fishing. Golfers from all over the world visit our gorgeous 18-hole golf course! Our Chisholm Trail Museum, National Depression Glass Museum, and Panhandle Railroad Museum are a must-see!

Conway Springs

• Town in Kansas
• Rating 4.67 out of 5  3 reviews

Current Resident: Conway Springs is a small town outside of Wichita. It has a vibrant community with lots of caring people. The spirit in the town is phenomenal. Every game night the crowds are there supporting the Cardinals. In a small town there are lots of opportunities to get involved in the community and at the school. I have lived in Conway Springs most of my life and I have enjoyed every minute of it.

• Rating 4 out of 5  1 review

Current Resident: Belle Plaine is a small town located approximately 30 minutes south of Wichita. I have lived in Belle Plaine my whole life and had a great experience with their school systems. There is not a lot to do within in the town, but Mulvane, Derby, Haysville, and Wichita are within a reasonable driving distance.
