1) A good rural area close to Junction City and Manhattan would be Milford, which is on top of a nice reservoir. I tend to like Manhattan over Junction City, but others might feel differently.
2) Cost of living is moderate.
3) Manhattan is home to Kansas State University, and has a true College town atmosphere, while Junction City is very much a military oriented town. The have differing flavors.
4) This is a scenic part of Kansas, and the Flint Hills offer some good scenery, great hiking, and has one of the last remaining stands of tallgrass prairie remaning in North America. Be sure to check out the Konza Prairie Preserve just south of Manhattan if you visit the area.
