Choosing where to build your forever home is about more than finding the right floor plan or selecting beautiful finishes. It's about choosing a community that will support your family for years to come.
For many families in the Wichita area, the school district plays an important role in that decision. While every family's priorities are different, Andover Public Schools have earned a strong reputation for academic excellence, dedicated educators, and opportunities that help students thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
At Nies Homes, we've seen many families choose to build in Freestone because it offers something uniquely valuable: the opportunity to enjoy the highly regarded Andover school district while benefiting from Wichita taxes. It's a combination that provides both lifestyle and long-term value.
Building a home is often one of the longest-term decisions a family makes. Children grow, interests change, and new opportunities emerge over the years. Choosing a location served by a respected school district can provide confidence that your home will continue to support your family's needs through every stage of life.
Andover Public Schools serve students across eleven schools and are known for strong academics, innovative learning opportunities, career exploration programs, and a commitment to preparing students for a changing world. The district consistently performs above state averages while offering a wide variety of extracurricular activities, athletics, and fine arts programs.
For many parents, knowing their children have access to these opportunities brings peace of mind that extends well beyond graduation day.
One of the reasons Freestone continues to attract families is its unique location.
Residents enjoy the benefit of being within the Andover school district while remaining within the City of Wichita. That means families can experience the advantages of attending Andover schools while benefiting from Wichita taxes—a combination that is difficult to find elsewhere in the region.
For homeowners, this creates an opportunity to invest in a community that offers both exceptional educational access and the convenience of living near everything Wichita has to offer.
It's one of those thoughtful details that continues to matter long after move-in day.
The right neighborhood becomes part of your family's story.
Freestone was thoughtfully planned to create spaces where neighbors become friends, children can play, and families can enjoy time together. Beautiful homes, peaceful surroundings, scenic lakes, walking paths, and carefully considered amenities create an environment that feels both welcoming and enduring.
Whether you're taking an evening walk, spending time outdoors with your children, or simply enjoying the quiet at the end of the day, Freestone offers a lifestyle that encourages families to slow down and enjoy where they live.
When your neighborhood supports the life you want to build, home becomes about more than the house itself.
While no one can predict the future of the housing market, many buyers recognize that homes located within sought-after school districts often remain desirable over time.
Families frequently prioritize access to quality schools when searching for a home, making communities served by respected districts attractive to future buyers as well.
Building in a location that continues to appeal to generations of homeowners is one way to make a thoughtful long-term investment—both financially and personally.
Many homeowners want the quiet atmosphere of a thoughtfully planned community without feeling disconnected from daily conveniences.
Freestone offers that balance.
Shopping, dining, healthcare, entertainment, and major employers are all within easy reach, while the neighborhood itself provides a sense of privacy and calm that's increasingly difficult to find. Families can enjoy shorter commutes, convenient access to everyday essentials, and weekends spent close to home rather than across town.
It's a lifestyle that allows more time for what matters most.
Every family defines "forever home" a little differently.
For some, it's a spacious kitchen where holidays are celebrated. For others, it's a backyard where children spend summer evenings, a quiet office for working from home, or a neighborhood where lifelong friendships begin.
Choosing the right location is just as important as designing the right home.
For families who value excellent schools, thoughtful community planning, and the convenience of Wichita living, Freestone offers a rare opportunity to enjoy all three.
At Nies Homes, we've spent more than sixty years helping families create homes designed around the way they want to live. From selecting the right homesite to crafting spaces that will serve your family for years to come, we're here to guide you through each step with care, experience, and thoughtful attention to what matters most.
