- The collection spans more than 14,600 square feet.
- Eligible new residents may receive up to $15,000.

## Summary

A $1.99 million budget buys a modest home or condo in San Francisco or Los Angeles, but in Topeka, Kansas, it can buy the Woodward Collection, a historic estate comprising three furnished homes. The contrast highlights the difference in property value between coastal California and the Midwest, while the estate’s potential as a bed-and-breakfast or event venue could offer income for its buyer.

The collection totals more than 14,600 square feet and includes four additional land parcels, a heated pool and landscaped gardens. Its main house is an 8,646-square-foot Gothic English Tudor built in 1923, with a two-and-a-half-storey library inspired by Sir Walter Scott’s library at Abbotsford. Topeka’s relocation programme may also offer up to $15,000 to newcomers who secure qualifying work in Shawnee County and buy a home.
