Wichita, Kansas 

Now recognized as one of the major mid-sized cities in the nation, Wichita has come a long way since its infant years as a trading post and cow town. Wichita is now a booming city with one of the best economies in the country. Short commute times, a burgeoning arts and attractions scene have developed out of the Midwest spirit of hard work and vision. A pioneer spirit is all dressed up in high tech fashion.

It's that pioneer spirit and Midwest hospitality that ensures Wichita is not a city to be ignored.

Median income -- $39,939

Median house value -- $78,900
