Successful Atchison, KS

Atchison, Kansas is a picturesque small town situated on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River in the northeast corner of Kansas. The metropolitan areas of Kansas City, St. Joseph and Topeka are within an hour's drive or less. Atchison is just far enough away to maintain its own small-town charm and personality, while being close enough to these larger cities and their "big city" offerings.

The much sought after all-American ideal is personified in Atchison, where residents enjoy affordable housing, diverse job opportunities, an excellent education system, a vibrant arts community and recreational outlets for all ages. Atchison has grown in popularity as a tourist destination as travelers learn about its rich history from Lewis & Clark, Amelia Earhart and The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. The Amelia Earhart Festival that is held each year brings thousands to town.

Atchison residents take pride in their rich heritage of impressive Victorian homes. These homes, located along tree-shaded brick streets, are the legacy of Atchison's successful business leaders from years past. The Atchison housing market offers something for everyone from Victorian mansions, country estates, new subdivisions, small starter homes and maintenance - free homes. Atchison has it all. Real estate is affordable for first time buyers, growing families and empty nesters.

Take a walk along the River, tour the Victorian museums, ride the trolley, visit the Santa Fe Depot or shop on the Mall. With so much to do, once you visit and meet Atchison’s friendly folks, you'll be as impressed with Atchison as its residents are!
