The lay of the land in Northwest Wichita.
Northwest Wichita is the city’s northwest side: ZIP codes 67205, 67212 and 67223. It runs from the established neighborhoods around West Central and West 13th Street out past NewMarket Square, and its newest subdivisions push toward Maize.
The homes
Closer in, the streets are lined with ranch and split-level homes from the middle of the last century. Farther out, newer subdivisions add two-story homes, and lots get bigger on the outer edges. The list further down this page shows which subdivisions have the most homes for sale right now, with live counts.
Getting around

NewMarket Square at 21st and Maize Road covers most errands, and Wesley West ER is on West 13th Street North. Sedgwick County Park and the Sedgwick County Zoo sit off West 21st Street and Zoo Boulevard.
