Skiatook, OK
the prettiest town we could afford -
3/26/2008The lake here is beautiful- the cleanest in the extended Tulsa metro area. The town is rather short on amenities, but the people are very nice. There is a super Walmart here and an eye doctor, a real estate office, an O'Reilly's auto parts store, a handful of restaurants, a couple of doctor's offices, and probably about one or two of anything you might need. This is certainly not big city living, but Tulsa is about 45 minutes away if you need anything. We live up on a hill overlooking the lake and the valley. It is covered with tough oak trees and little other vegetation. We do have the most remarkable sunrises and just breath-taking sunsets. The sky at night is ablaze with stars. Skiatook is the nicest town we could afford to live in close to my husband's work place. If you don't mind ice storms and tornadoes, and you like rural and have a good rough-water boat, Skiatook is the place for you.
