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?

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?

_33 · « **Reply #5 on:** February 24, 2016, 08:24:45 AM »

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.

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.

The glacial hills of Doniphan County are very scenic. But I'm ready for something different.

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.
