Decent Affordable Housing

Like any other town or city, Wichita KS has it's ups and downs. It is really what you make of it. Currently, like the rest of the country, Wichita is battling a stubborn unemployment rate, a lot of it due to layoffs from the aircraft industry. By the grace of God, I am GENUINELY THANKFUL to be fully employed with health insurance and profit sharing to go along with it, (fortunately outside of the aircraft industry).
One REALLY bright spot in Wichita KS is affordable housing. I currently live in a one bedroom 650 square foot apartment on the (Central) North West side of town. My monthly rent is $425.00 a month. I live in a decent working class to middle class neighborhood with a supermarket practically across the street from me. The people are decent and the complex is immaculately kept up. I go to great lengths to make sure that all rent and utilities are kept up to date. Having originally lived in the Northeast, this place is an absolute Godsend to me.
Currently, the population of Wichita KS, give or take, is approximately 350,000 to 400,000 people.
