Westboro Neighborhood

The Westboro neighborhood is one of the most elegant in Topeka. Estate-like homes overlook vast, manicured lawns, with old oaks shading the sidewalks and boulevards. The community is bordered by Southwest Huntoon Street, Southwest Oakley Avenue, Southwest 17th Street, and Southwest Gage Boulevard.

The area is as convenient as it is impressive. Washburn University is only blocks away, giving residents opportunities to enjoy the many concerts the school puts on each year. The Mulvane Art Gallery on campus sponsors a juried art festival in the summer. The university’s spoets teams add excitement.

Westboro has a fine arts district. Residents enjoy the First Friday Art Walk, when the galleries are open late and a festive mood prevails. It’s a good time to stroll the area and enjoy the eclectic architecture, some with a Mediterranean influence.

Nearby is the Governor’s Mansion, known as Cedar Crest. The French Normandy-style mansion looks out over acres of rolling prairie grassland, public trails, and ponds. A new park nearby provides access for boaters to explore the Kansas River.

Near Cedar Crest is the Kansas Museum of History, which features permanent exhibits telling the state’s history. The grounds have several significant buildings and great walking trails.

Those who love theater and the performing arts will appreciate the venues nearby. The Topeka Performing Arts Center presents performers such as B. B. King and Alison Krauss. The Topeka Civic Theater has a busy performance schedule.

Golfers enjoy playing at the public courses at the Western Hills Golf Club and the Lake Shawnee Golf Course. The Shawnee Country Club and the Topeka Country Club, both private clubs, are nearby.

Lake Shawnee, just south of town, offers fishing, swimming, and sailing. Fleming Place Shopping Center, with a grocery, restaurants, and a pharmacy, is within blocks of Westboro.
