Oread

The Oread neighborhood climbs the hill between the University of Kansas and downtown, a dense, energetic mix of historic homes, student rentals, and some of the best views in Lawrence.

Oread is Lawrence's oldest fabric: tall Victorians and craftsman four-squares on streets that fill with crimson and blue on game days. The location is unbeatable, KU's campus on one side, Massachusetts Street on the other, which keeps rental demand permanently strong and makes the neighborhood a perennial favorite for investors and KU families buying instead of renting.

Owner-occupants are here too, drawn by the architecture and close-to-everything energy that no other Kansas neighborhood matches. Condition varies house to house more than anywhere in the city, so a broker who has been inside these homes for decades, and knows which blocks are quiet and which are lively, is the difference between a great buy and a headache.
