Suburban comfort and city convenience in Pennington

Seven miles northwest of downtown Oklahoma City, Pennington is in a residential corridor where residents can walk to the local elementary school and a popular park. But Pennington also offers access to the interstate less than a mile away, making it easy to get around the city. “It’s got that suburban atmosphere,” says Realtor Lola Adeyemi, an agent with Keller Williams Elite. “But it’s really close to the highways and really accessible to all the things that you need, like food, grocery stores, even gas stations.”

Exploring the gardens at Will Rogers Park

Will Rogers Park was christened in 1936 to honor the Oklahoman legend. Today, just over Portland Avenue across from Pennington, the park offers a tennis center, a pool and gardens, as well as city services, including a senior center. The park also hosts programs such as gardening classes and camps for kids. Geraldine Park, on the western side of the neighborhood, has a playground and walking paths. Pennington is also less than 4 miles from Lake Hefner, one of the city’s biggest draws for outdoor recreation. A number of parks sit along the water, including Stars and Stripes Park, which has baseball fields, a skatepark and a playground.

Walkable businesses from Pennington

A variety of businesses in the surrounding blocks are walkable from Pennington, including Crest Foods for groceries and the Windsor Hills shopping center. Fast-food chains and local taquerias sit along U.S. Route 66 and nearby MacArthur Boulevard, while Saffron Cuisine of India is in the northeast corner of the neighborhood. But for a night out, locals tend to head to the Midtown or Bricktown neighborhoods, just over 5 miles away near downtown. “You can get anything you want downtown in about five minutes, so that’s where you want to go to really go out,” Adeyemi says.

Quick access downtown via Interstate 44

Interstate 44 runs just east of Pennington, affording access across Oklahoma City. Downtown is roughly 7 miles southeast, and commuters often drive to work, though Oklahoma City’s EMBARK bus system has stops near the neighborhood. Will Rogers World Airport sits around 9 miles south, with access via I-44. The airport serves over 20 nonstop destinations across the country.

Typical Oklahoma City ranch homes

Like many Oklahoma City suburbs, the 1950s brick ranch-style homes in Pennington are evenly spaced along wide, gently curved residential streets, often with backyards enclosed by tall wooden privacy fences. Many houses retain their midcentury character on the exterior paired with interior renovations to match. “We see a lot of remodeling where they add midcentury modern fixtures inside the homes,” Adeyemi says. “It makes them look really cool and just gives them a real contemporary flair.” Homes generally sell between the mid-$100,000s and mid-$200,000s.

Education in Oklahoma City and Putnam City schools

Pennington is split between the Oklahoma City School District and Putnam City Schools. The Putnam City Schools portion of the neighborhood can attend Windsor Hills Elementary, rated C-plus by Niche, followed by Mayfield Middle and Putnam City West High, each rated C.

Things to do in downtown OKC

From sports to street festivals, downtown Oklahoma City offers plenty to do. The Oklahoma City Thunder play at the Paycom Center, while the minor league Oklahoma City Baseball Club plays at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. The Paseo Arts Festival draws thousands of visitors each spring with art exhibitions and family entertainment. Closer to Pennington, the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds pull in nearly a million people during the 11-day fall fair.
