The Grand Boulevard plan's impact on Skyline today

Grand Boulevard runs along the opposite side of Will Rogers Park from Skyline. While this portion of Grand Boulevard acts as a service road for Interstate 44, the road was initially envisioned as something greater: Oklahoma City’s first beltway. At the time, it would run outside the city's outskirts as they were in the early 1900s. While the plan was never implemented as first proposed, the interstate system utilized much of the same path when it was built. And as Oklahoma City expanded outwards thanks to its explosive growth during the 1950s and 1960s, neighborhoods like Skyline were beneficiaries — Will Rogers Park and Interstate 44, each in their current location because of the Grand Boulevard plan, are nearby. Skyland’s location and midcentury suburban aesthetic make it a favorite for those looking for a quiet, convenient neighborhood in OKC.

Recreation at Will Rogers Park

Across the street from Skyline, Will Rogers Park is one of Oklahoma City’s oldest and most popular parks. It was established in 1912 as part of the city’s first plan for its parks before being renamed in memorial of “Oklahoma’s favorite son,” Will Rogers, in 1936. Along with a tennis center, pool and disc golf course, the park is best known for its gardens. The gardens feature a Victorian-style greenhouse and flower beds. “Will Rogers Park is one of the most popular parks in the city. It’s absolutely beloved,” says Carrie Jacobs, the public information and marketing manager for OKC Parks. “The gardens are really well known for the color garden, which is the signature high-end horticulture. It’s really stunning any time of year you come through.” On the other side of Skyland, Geraldine Park is within walking distance and features a walking path and playground.

Skyline's 1950s-era homes

Despite its location near the interstate and the more industrial environment of 36th Street, Skyline still has a private, residential feel. The narrow streets are lined by mature trees, which shade the neighborhood’s grassy yards. The homes here, mainly brick ranch-style houses, were mainly built in the 1950s during Oklahoma City’s population boom. Prices range from around $80,000 to the low $200,000s, generally based on renovation status. “I think that whole area’s going to have a renaissance over there,” says Amanda Kirkpatrick-Lawler, the owner and managing broker of Metro-Mark Realtors. “It’s definitely affordable, and it’s close to downtown. It might be a good choice for investors too.”

Nearby access to Interstate 44

Located roughly 7 miles northwest of downtown Oklahoma City, Skyline has easy access to highways, including Interstate 44 and U.S. Route 66. I-44 passes less than a mile east of the neighborhood, while Route 66 runs to its north. Residents generally drive their own cars, but bus service through Oklahoma City’s EMBARK system does run adjacent to the neighborhood, leading downtown. Will Rogers World Airport sits almost 9 miles south of Skyline and offers direct flights to over 20 destinations nationwide.

Oklahoma City Public Schools education

Skyline is within the Oklahoma City Public Schools district, the second-largest district in Oklahoma. Kaiser Elementary is located across the street from the neighborhood and receives a C-minus grade from Niche. Students can then attend Taft Middle School, which receives a C-minus, and C-graded Northwest Classen High School. Oklahoma City Public Schools offers several application-only schools, such as the Classen School of Advanced Studies, which Niche ranks as the best high school for the arts in the state. Private schools like the B-rated Cristo Rey Oklahoma City Catholic High School are nearby.

Events at Will Rogers Park

The Oklahoma City Department of Parks and Recreation hosts plenty of programs at Will Rogers Park, including gardening classes. “We really try to do things that are right at cost so it’s accessible,” Jacobs says. “You can go out there and do seasonal horticulture activities all year long.” The Oklahoma City Fairgrounds are less than 4 miles away from the neighborhood and host the Oklahoma State Fair each fall. The fair attracts over 900,000 visitors over its 11 days. Sports fans can head downtown to watch the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder at Paycom Center or the Triple-A Oklahoma City Baseball Club at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

The Oklahoma State Fair has everything from family entertainment and educational exhibits.

Businesses around Route 66
