Quote from: Cartierfor3 on March 16, 2015, 09:31:59 PMHow many non-college student years do you need to live in Manhattan before you're a townie? I lived there for 9 months post graduation, but I'm no townie. Does it take 2 years? 4?

Everyone knows that Summer in Manhattan is amazing. As a townie, what are your favorite activities to do during the summer? Places you are more likely to visit because they are less crowded? Favorite MHK Summer Acticity?
Are non-rental/Student housing prices expensive in Manhattan? I have a buddy who got a job in the area and recently moved to Manhattan because he didn't to live in the Small Town where his job actually is. He previously had a little 4 bedroom 200k ish McMansion in Olathe and ended up getting a smaller house in Manhattan for the same price. I kind of figured Manhattan might be cheaper but then again it is BOOMTOWN USA.
I would pay more to live in MHK than in some shitty johnson county development
near west mhk money buys you about 30% less house compared to shawnee money
Real Estate prices in Manhattan are significantly higher than most places in KS. It is highly desirable, homes that otherwise would be affordable are largely in the hands of landlords, and the property that goes on the market there is often bid up by developers or landlords looking to make it a multi-family home. The zoning of the downtown area will hopefully over time result in better density as more and more of the Bluemont corridor is developed linking aggieville and downtown and the low density crap boxes are demolished. This will relieve some pressure on both the rental and the purchase market as once the big zoning/construction wave happens there will be space for a smart developer to re-imagine some of the housing south of bluemont and east of the of park as a desirable neighborhood and would result in more single family homes as the larger apartments drive out smaller slumlords sitting on these homes.
