Our Take
e
“Considering a move from the east coast to El Dorado was a little nerve racking. However, on my first visit I knew El Dorado was a place my family would thrive. There are plenty of parks to play in and walking trails to take a family walk. I have lived in places like Philadelphia and outside of Washington D.C., but there is little comparison and no way I would choose either over El Dorado, Ks.
My wife, Sarah, and our two sons, Quenti and Barrett, enjoy the people and quality of life in El Dorado. Our sons are active in youth sports with the local YMCA and the City’s Recreation Department. Sarah and I are involved with different civic groups and causes. We enjoy the community’s path and trail network, going to the lake as a family and attending many of the diverse activities offered within the community,
