Living in Topeka

With cultural amenities to rival big cities, Topekans revel in outdoor activities, excellent healthcare facilities, technologically advanced education, and a below-average cost of living...making Topeka one of the most livable cities in the Midwest.

With seven reservoirs within a fifty-mile radius, there's plenty of time for boating, water skiing, rowing, and swimming. Over 90 parks offer fishing, hunting, and boating, hiking, jogging, soccer, softball, tennis, community centers, swimming pools and over a half-dozen public and private golf courses in the city.

Most commutes to work are under 15 minutes each way, leaving citizens of Topeka and Shawnee County plenty of time for leisure and recreational activities on a daily basis. New restaurants and clubs, a full array of sports teams and volunteer opportunities, and myriad activities for families and senior citizens combine to make Topeka attractive to all ages. Join us!
