Hello-Thank you all for the very speedy responses. Yes, I hear Andover is nice, especially the YMCA. When we were stationed in Florida we used the Y facilities everyday. We are not opposed to commuting to McConnell. In fact, we are hobby farmers. We don't mind having a little bit of land to garden, raise chickens and animals. We looked at Mount Hope, Rose Hill, Mulvane just to name a few. But we have never actually been to these areas. I can't go ahead of time to house hunt because I just had a baby. It would be too much. I'm hoping we can find a furnished apartment or something where we can stay until we find a house. Any ideas??The prices of homes seem to be great! Does it seem this way to you? You can get a big house for little money! When we were stationed in Florida prices were absolutely horrible!!! I'm also so worried about schools, my son has been in foreign schools and well the curriculum is completely different. He is only now starting to show an interest in reading in English. Since we have been away from the states I hear so many stories about public schools-it is quite scary. All the testing, core curriculum (whatever that is), class sizes. It is just crazy. I would love to find a small country type school, away from the city.
It is exciting to research about all the "stuff" going on around Wichita from farmers markets to zoo! Thanks again for your responses.
