Outside, you’ll find a detached 2-car garage with extra storage, an above ground pool (liner is only 2 years old), newly planted fruit trees and more. The roof is only 2 years old. The property also includes a separate plot of land about one block away, ideal for raising chickens, building a shop, or extra storage. Don’t miss this small town living opportunity!

Pros
- Low cost of living: Housing, utilities, and everyday expenses tend to be quite affordable compared with larger Kansas cities.
- Small‑town community: Close‑knit, friendly atmosphere where neighbors know one another and community involvement is common.
- Low traffic & short commutes: Minimal congestion—easy driving and short local travel times.
- Quiet, slower pace: Suits people who prefer a peaceful, rural lifestyle away from urban noise and crowds.
- Rural and agricultural setting: Access to open spaces and farmland; good for those who appreciate country living or working in agriculture.
- Lower property taxes (often): Compared with urban areas, property tax burdens can be lower—varies by county.
- Safe-feeling environment: Small towns often report lower rates of certain crimes and a strong sense of personal security (varies by location and over time).
Cons
- Limited job market: Few local employers and limited employment diversity—many residents commute to larger towns for work or rely on agriculture and small businesses.
- Sparse amenities & services: Fewer shopping, dining, entertainment, and specialty services; for broad selections you’ll likely travel to larger nearby towns.
- Healthcare access: Limited local medical services; more specialized or emergency care may require travel to regional centers.
- Educational & extracurricular limits: Small schools may offer fewer advanced courses, extracurriculars, and specialized programs than larger districts.
- Public transit & connectivity: Little to no public transportation; a car is generally required. Broadband/internet options may be limited or slower in some rural areas.
- Population decline & aging demographics: Like many rural Kansas towns, Turon may face population stagnation or decline and an older median age, which can affect services and economic vitality.
- Social & cultural limitations: Fewer cultural institutions, nightlife, and large‑scale events compared with cities.
- Weather extremes: Hot, humid summers and cold winters; exposure to severe thunderstorms or occasional tornado risk in Tornado Alley.
- Resale market could be slower: Smaller housing markets can have lower demand, potentially making resale slower.
