I think I want to do this. I just want some space, some land. I have really nice neighbors but I don't want neighbors that are right there all the time. But I'd like to live in a rural area that is close to a city so that I am still relatively close to all the conveniences. Where should I live?
-
Tonganoxie!
-
How close to the city do you want to be? Like within 1 hour?
-

Probably more like 20 minutes. An hour is a lot. Plus I still have to work somewhere probably in the city.
-
By city, you mean something as big as KC or Wichita, or some 30k+ town that rural folks call the city?
-
30K is probably a good number. Although when I lived in P-Burg, Hays was the big city and I'm pretty sure it has less than 30K so I could go smaller.
-
There are probably 3-4 houses per mile along the highway in all directions from Pittsburg (only about 20k though). It is cheap and easy to live outside of city limits in that part of the state.
-
Not SE KS.

Desoto
-
You could live around wamego
-
What do you do for a living _33?
-
I'd probably second Tonganoxie, then.
-
just save for a couple months and buy a few lots along Lee Boulevard in Leawood, build new there.
-
Good luck with all the trash people and meth labs.
-
Trust this Kaw Valley alum, you can do better than Tongie.
-
live outside of Wathena somewhere, keep your current job, profit
-
Manhattan and you can live off of the lake duh.
-

Teacher. But open to change.

The glacial hills of Doniphan County are very scenic. But I'm ready for something different.
-
start your own multimedia company. be a contractor for K-State to do all of their videos. live between Wamego and St. George/Flush.

they are quite lovely in the fall especially
-
My grandparents live in the flint hills (beautiful) and my Grandpa taught at Mission Valley. If you really wanna get away.
-
Silver Lake, obviously
-
Matfield Green area is pretty amazing. Nearest towns of size are Emporia, El Dorado, and Wichita. Cottonwood Falls is a pretty cool small town. Some family around that area has a pretty sweet house right off a bend off K-177 that's pretty amazing.

Hmmmm, not a bad idea.

My mom is from Silver Lake. Or as my dad calls it - Scum Lake. He is from Rossville.

_33 what would you charge to produce a video for someone? Like someone else takes all the video, you cut it down, do the editing, do the title and credits type stuff?
-
I have decided that my next home will either be right by city park or out in the University Park area or somewhere like that with a lake view and no neighbors very close. I hate my 10 minute drive to town and still having neighbors where they can see me peeing in part of the backyard.

I have no idea. I shoot weddings in the summer for like $800 - $1100 each to supplement my teacher income. But that's the only actual video work I've done and been paid.
-
The new house is 5 miles from the nearest gas station. It's kind of a real pain in the ass.
-
Keep sunsets in mind when you're ready to build. Build on a hill with nothing to the west but beautiful landscape. :love:

I will absolutely keep that in mind, and also I will keep in mind to have nothing to the EAST but beautiful landscape for watching the sun RISE. :fatty:

Man, do I have a place for you. Go find a place out in the county around the Chapman, KS. 25-30 minutes from Manhattan. 30 Minutes from Salina. 10 minutes from Abilene and 15 Minutes from Junction City.
Manhattan is the only place worth-while around the area, but, meh... Idk what you consider conveniences

Right by eskridge which I already mentioned, which has a lake and a golf course in the flint hills. :curse: That's where the symphony of the flint hills is. Fanning land!

That's actually really close to a house I've been looking at that is my dream house. I love old houses and this one is amazing. And it's only about $450,000 above my price range.

pretty sure the symphony isn't by Eskridge every year.
-
It's by the lake in the flint hills, which is 5 miles away from eskridge. Ppl try and hit us up for tickets every year.
-
It's south of there. Not too far away.
-
it's in Chase County, that's not exactly right by Fanning Land like you claimed.
-
Not SE KS.
Well there goes my suggestion of Coffeyville.

I wouldn't say it's "right by" Eskridge.....it's only 2 or 3 miles south of Alma. I've been in that house too and was not aware they were selling. :peek:
-
33, my grandparents had a stone farmhouse out west on Anderson a little past Keats that was built in 1893, maybe you can buy that place.

Oh my. That's marvelous. I wonder how much you could knock off not buying some of the antiques.

I've lived in a rural area. AMA!
