The Oaklawn Improvement District in Wichita, Kansas, traces its origins back to a joint venture in 1951 between the Henry C. Beck Company of Dallas and the Utah Construction Company of San Francisco. The district, located southeast of Wichita, was envisioned to provide housing for defense workers and their families during the Korean War, with a total of 1,034 homes planned in Oaklawn and 190 units in Sunview Heights.
Today, the Oaklawn Improvement District is home to a vibrant community of over 4,500 residents who enjoy beautiful parks, a senior community center, and a splash pad. With a rich history rooted in addressing housing needs during times of critical demand, the district continues to serve as a dedicated and community-minded hub in the Wichita area.
