About Silver Lake
Silver Lake sits just ten minutes west of Topeka along Highway 24, offering a quiet, small-town feel with easy access to the city. Named for the natural oxbow lake beside it, the community traces its roots back to the 1850s when it served as a bustling river ferry crossing. Today, it is a welcoming place known for well-regarded local schools, scenic lake views, and a tight-knit neighborhood spirit. If you want a slower pace and extra space while staying close to work and shopping, Silver Lake is a great place to call home.
