About Alta Vista

Perched on a ridge in Wabaunsee County, Alta Vista lives up to its name, which means "high view" in Spanish, offering broad views across the Kansas Flint Hills. Originally founded as a railroad stop in the late 1800s, the town today is a quiet, close-knit community where neighbors look out for one another. Students attend schools in the nearby Morris County district, and residents enjoy peaceful rural living surrounded by open prairie. If you are looking for wide-open skies and relaxed small-town living, Alta Vista is a great place to call home.
