People expect rural emptiness here, but what they find is deliberate. This stretch just south of Hastings is where acreage—measured in meaningful parcels of 20+ acres—meets the kind of home that doesn't apologize for its ambitions: walkout ranches with cathedral ceilings, granite kitchens, pools. The land rolls and trees anchor it. Twin Lakes sits at the edge of the property line, and Pierce Cedar Creek Institute borders directly adjacent, which shapes how the area holds itself—spacious, intentional, not desperate to fill every inch.

Crime in Vickery is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level. The FBI doesn't publish reliable crime rates for individual neighborhoods, and within any community crime varies street to street. For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Barry County.
Barry County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Vickery home (around $357,500) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $64k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,408 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

Estimates use a 6.65% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
