I live within 20-30 minutes of businesses, entertainment, and shops for most any area in Tulsa, via expressways. I am within 12 miles of my employment in Tulsa.
Most would be amazed by the development and future planning for this area (Catoosa Hard Rock, Claremore Mall). There are still farms and open country, with beautiful foliage. Most 10-20 year old homes have at least an acre lot. There are several newer spacious neighborhoods in the $100-200,000 & + range.. What will surprise you is the number of spring fed, clear water stocked ponds. The big secret is the number of ponds, some with lighted fountains with geese flying in for a landing is tranquil and serene. Schools always need money, mostly ingenuity but are into sports and music s/a jazz. A well rated golf course. Some locations are within Tulsa utilities. Outstanding insurance rated fire department(s). Friendly neighbors that take pride and care in the beauty of their homes and lawns. Some may even ask you to take off your shoes before entering! Others may invited you in over time for "Three Cups of Tea".
There are always negatives to be discovered. On the whole Oklahoma is a convivial, young conservative family state with a growing number of singles, centered around its major metropolitan areas. Some may feel they're being invaded by progressive transplants moving in.
Northeastern Oklahoma has many qualities and amenities to be shared, discovered and challenged. I wish for the art deco/modern influence to grow again in the housing industry spreading the old forward thinking (for its time) Tulsa treasures influence.
I love spirituality, my home, books, music, movies, news, politics. A young transplanted moderate/liberal 55yrs woman who has seen this state grow with alot of hard work, alot of low/moderate incomes and it is progressing. It just wants to do it right the 1st time and that takes everyones patience.
