Skiatook on the rise.

9/19/2020
My wife and I moved to Skiatook 4 years ago because I like to fish the nearby lake. While there are still some of the small town Oklahoma issues, the drug problem that plauged much of rural OK for years has mostly been controlled here these days.
There is a fairly new Casino at the west end of town, and several new housing developments at the east end and around the lake. There are a dozen pretty good restuarants, even a couple exceptional ones, a new central city park that features a splash pad, playground, pond, pavilion and covered seating, A 15 mile walking/biking trail that leads from Skiatook to OSU in Tulsa, two sports complexes, and of course, Skiatook Lake.
It's a 15 min drive to downtown Tulsa, and 15 mins to the city of Owasso which has about any kind of shopping you could ask for.
Housing and utility costs are low, all utilities except gas are through the city.
Skiatook has become a magnet for people looking for a nice affordable place close enough to Tulsa for an easy commute. It's growing rapidly as a bedroom community for Tulsa.
