Blog > How Do I Choose the Right Tulsa Neighborhood?
Choosing where to live is as important as the home itself. Tulsa is a city of micro-markets—each neighborhood has its own feel, amenities, and value trajectory.
Lifestyle Matters
Start by defining what you value most. Do you want walkability, top-rated schools, proximity to nightlife, or peace and quiet?
-
Midtown Tulsa: Historic charm, mature trees, and character homes. Close to Cherry Street and Brookside dining.
-
South Tulsa: Suburban feel with newer builds, top schools, and community amenities.
-
Broken Arrow & Bixby: Great for families seeking space and modern developments.
-
Downtown Tulsa: Ideal for professionals craving a walkable, urban lifestyle.
Price & Appreciation
Midtown’s character homes average $180–$250 per sq. ft., while South Tulsa and Bixby hover closer to $160–$200. Broken Arrow continues to rise in value thanks to retail expansion and new schools.
Commute & Amenities
Factor in your daily commute, especially if you work downtown or near Tulsa Hills. Neighborhoods like Jenks West or Owasso balance affordability with easy highway access.
