Big-city amenities, small-town atmosphere
At first glance, Northwest Norman is a typical suburban locale: well-cared-for homes, pristine lawns and highly rated public grade schools. With Interstate 35 bustling by less than 3 miles east and downtown Oklahoma City less than 20 miles north, there are plenty of shopping and dining options nearby, too. But Northwest Norman is also a community of friendly neighbors who care deeply about each other and the special place they call home. "I just love this town; it's hard for me not to gush about it," says Jan Nelson, Realtor with Vawter Real Estate, a longtime Norman resident. "The people are just awesome here. They're friendly and hardworking, and their loyalty runs deep. The community is like family, and it's the people that make the area what it is." Realtor Sarah Neal, with Metro Brokers of OK Connect agrees. “Norman is a larger town that operates with a small-town vibe,” says the Norman native.
Wide range of styles and prices
Housing styles here tend to lean toward European or Dallas-inspired variations on Traditional architecture. Most were built between the 1970s and 1990s, but construction in this part of town is ongoing. Prices run from about $245,000 to $500,000 for older, three- to four-bedroom Traditional homes, but Spanish-inspired estates with acreage properties and sleek new builds with eight or more bedrooms can go for as high as $2.7 million. The median hovers close to the $360,000 mark, well above the median for both Norman and the OKC metro. "People like to live here, because home values stay the same or are better every time they sell," Nelson says.
Highly rated Norman schools
Grade schoolers are served by the Norman Public Schools district. Between preschool and fifth grade, most elementary-aged kids go to Roosevelt, which earns an A grade from Niche. Some go to either Cleveland Elementary or Adams Elementary instead, depending on their address, so parents are advised to double-check zoning maps. Cleveland Elementary gets an A-minus from Niche; Adams gets a B. All three elementary schools feed into Whittier Middle, which receives an A-minus, and Norman North High, which gets an A. Norman North boasts the No. 2 spot on Niche’s list of the best public high schools in Cleveland County. Norman students are encouraged to explore six different career fields, starting as early as first grade. As their interests develop, they can delve deeper into coursework in fields ranging from health sciences and arts, communications and information to industrial, manufacturing and engineering.
The University of Oklahoma is less than 8 miles southeast of most homes and offers 170 academic programs. Notable OU alums include actors Ed Harris, of “National Treasure” fame, and Olivia Munn, of “Oceans 8.”
Neighborhood parks and OU sporting events
Ruby Grant Park, the first public park built on Norman’s west side, is within 4 miles of most homes. It’s near I-35 in the neighborhood’s northeast corner and offers amenities from an accessible playground and dog park to a cross-country track and an 18-hole disc golf course. There are also practice ball fields and an exercise course spread over the 144-acre park. Individual subdivisions often have their own community parks and playgrounds, too. Brookhaven Park, in the Brookhaven addition on Northwest Norman’s south side, has the usual amenities, including a playground, sunny soccer field and a basketball court. It also hosts the annual Brookhaven Fall Festival, which brings neighbors together for food trucks, bounce houses, hayrides and pumpkin decorating each October. Fall is also prime time for OU football fans, who converge on the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium for home games to cheer on the Sooners. “We are a university town, and football is huge. Kids’ birthday parties are not on game days, and you plan your shopping around game day traffic,” says Neal. “You have to be a Sooners fan: It’s one of the things that keeps the community united and gives Norman its small-town vibe.” Sallie Vawter, a Norman native and Realtor with Vawter Real Estate, notes that football isn't the only game in town. “The softball and women’s basketball teams are top-rated, and so is the gymnastics team. There are great sporting events all year round,” she says.
Overlooking Norman’s largest shopping district
The city’s largest retail district, Legacy Park, is just across I-35, within about 5 miles of most homes. Fanned around the lake-sized lighted water feature at its center, there’s a 3,000-seat amphitheater for live music and other community events. Between Legacy Park and the surrounding shopping corridors branched out on either side of I-35, residents are a short drive from big box stores galore, from Academy Sports and Petco to Best Buy and Super Target. For groceries, there’s a Crest Fresh Market and a Walmart Supercenter nearby, too. There are plenty of national and regional chain restaurants along I-35, but for food with more local flair, most people head downtown. “Norman is real big on their locally owned restaurants,” says Vawter. She says one of her personal favorites is Scratch Kitchen & Cocktails, which is popular for its refined menu of elevated Southern fare. “Local restaurants and shops are things we really value and support as a community,” says Neal, in agreement. “I can’t even think of a favorite, there are too many great options.”
Easy commuting, whether to OKC or Fort Worth
Interstate 35 runs north-south along the east side of the community. “It makes for very easy commuting up to Oklahoma City,” says Neal. Downtown OKC is about 20 miles north of Northwest Norman, a trip that Neal says takes only 20 minutes with no traffic and about 45 with traffic. Norman’s own historic downtown is only about 5 miles southeast. Embark Norman buses pick up at stops scattered in the shopping districts along I-35, on lines connecting throughout Norman and even north to Moore and OKC. In downtown Norman, the Amtrak train station on South Jones Avenue provides service north to OKC and south to Fort Worth, Texas. Will Rogers World Airport is about 21 miles northwest.
