small town outside of Wichita - 1/30/2013
We moved to Valley Center seven years ago. We found a house on five acres just north of town next to farm acreage. Perfect location as we were returning to the Wichita area after having lived out in the country for ten years to be closer to our aging parents. We were not inside Valley Center city limits when we moved here. We live on a dirt road... we were annexed two years after moving here. Our property tax went up by over $900 a year.. on top of that a school bond was put through and we pay more than the folks in Wichita for the school bond they also approved. . Fewer homes to foot a large bond. We have no real improvements with the annexation and now pay more than double in property tax here than we paid for a new house with a 30x50 out building on 160 acres in the country... and three of our five acres here are set as agriculture and taxed as such!
Small towns can be difficult.. not always accepting of outsiders.. Valley Center is close to Wichita and that isnt the issue

Wichita bed room comunity. - 4/16/2007
We have lived in Valley Center for a couple of years. It was a relatively quiet and friendly town. While it still is, traffic is increasing as more people discover what a gem it is. The school system is first rate. The municipal services are still developing but are headed in the right direction. There are not many businesses yet, but we have rapid access to most things. All in all, it is a terrific place to raise a family. However, as of this writing, there is talk of building a casino within two or three miles of town. I consider that a negative. But there are quite a few churches in town. All in all, we really like it
