Fort Riley is quickly growing! There is a huge renovation going on with older housing and beautiful homes being built as well. We have one commissary that just got renovated and is bigger now. Two px's a USO Warrior Zone several shoppettes and several eateries.
Fort Riley is great for the outdoorsy type there's camping fishing and hunting. Manhattan is a few miles away and is also quickly growing. Manhattan is home of the KState Wildcats so it's a place of many activities and festivals.
We have been here since 2009 and I have found that it is a great place to raise your children. The schools are great!
Angie T. asks: My husband is graduating from AIT next week. His orders the week after Christmas said Ft. Lewis. Today they changed it to Ft. Riley. :( Is it normal for them to change so much? If so maybe they'll change it again lol Any advice on our first PCS would be appreciated. Looks like Ft. Riley. :( I heard it's awful there and it's a 4 month wait for housing.
Brittany W. says: They backdate to when your hubby went to BCT. It's a shorter wait than many. I heard its great for families!
Lori T. says: Riley is awful if you make it that way. Manhattan has lots of parks lakes camping areas. They also have a new discovery center for families. Lots of walking areas along the Konza Prairie. Topeka is only 45 mins away and of course KC is not far. If you love nature then you will have stuff to do. If you sit in your home hoping for things to come to you then yes you will not like it. YOU make it what it is.
