Sherwood Estates, located between SW 29th St and SW 37th St, is a residential and suburban Topeka neighborhood with curving streets and mature tree cover. The area reads as mid-century ranches and split-levels set back behind broad lawns, with a calm, lived-in streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the SW 29th St & SW Fairlawn Rd corridor, where local storefronts, coffee counters, and everyday errands create a steady daytime hum. Sherwood Park’s open fields and playgrounds set an outdoorsy rhythm close to home. Gage Park and the Topeka Zoo add a classic weekend destination nearby. Wanamaker Road’s retail strip frames the west edge with practical conveniences.

RR-1
Residential Reserve District
This district is established to provide for a transitional area between urbanized development with intensive activity areas, and the rural-agricultural areas; and which is expected to become urbanized in subsequent planning periods. The limitations of this district are intended to allow for the gradual development of urban uses and activities therefore providing for the coexistence with agricultural farmland activities based upon the availability and extension of municipal facilities and services. Such urban development will be permitted at appropriate intensity-density levels to assure that public improvement expenditures are appropriately planned for in advance of the conversion to urban uses.
