Quiet area with easy downtown acess

Florence Park South sits south of 21st Street from the popular Florence Park neighborhood, but it’s much quieter. It’s an area centrally located to several city amenities such as the Expo Center and Utica Shopping Center. Residents are also adjacent to the Broken Arrow Expressway. “It’s one of the major commuter routes having close access to that is a high value,” says John Spillyards, realtor at Keller Williams Advantage, who holds 30 years of real estate and commercial experience. “You could be downtown in ten minutes.”

Diverse midcentury houses

Homes here rose from their sturdy foundations in the 1940s and 50s, with construction styles common in Tulsa suburbs as its population grew heading into the latter half of the 20th century. “That area has always been a quieter neighborhood. It’s a lot of smaller bungalows, one-story midcentury ranches, nice wide streets, mature trees,” says Spillyards. Many homes are receiving renovations, including white and black features, drawing inspiration from Transitional influence. “Some homes back to the expressway. If they’re not updated, they may have single-pane windows, and they can be a little noisy,” says Spillyards. Standard interiors feature three bedrooms and around 1,500 square feet. These homes are slightly higher than other Tulsa neighborhoods, having prices ranging from $200,000 to $500,000.

Parks in every direction

Florence Park South residents can enjoy the benefits of Florence Park to the north. The park hosts a tennis court, playground, picnic area and a splash pad for those hotter days. The Florence Park Homeowners Association recently remodeled the tennis courts and placed newer signage. “There’s quite a bit of green space in Florence Park South. Adjacent to the highways is a park with dog walking stations,” says Spillyards. Pratt Park is an acre space with some benches and a swing set. Woodward Park and Garden is located 2 miles west. Two public garden areas allow for a brisk walk with the dog or a nature-filled jog.

Local burger stands and shopping at Utica Square

Brownie's Hamburger Stand is a local burger spot just along Harvard Ave. Their Ooey Gooey Burger is a neighborhood favorite, often paired with a homemade root beer and chocolate pie. Weekly groceries can be grabbed from the nearby Aldi or Walmart Neighborhood Market. Target is another option for everyday essentials that can be found 2 miles east. “At this location, you’re near the Expo Center, where they have the World Championship Knife and Axe throwing in April,” says Spillyards. “You’re close to 21st and Utica, where you got the Utica Shopping Center.” Utica Square is a shopping plaza only 2 miles west. It’s an upscale outdoor shopping center that houses famous brands such as Kendra Scott, Joseph A. Bank, and Anthropologie.

Adjacent to Broken Arrow Expressway

Commuting is simple for residents as they live near three major roadways, the most convenient being the Broken Arrow Expressway. “It runs from downtown. It runs northwest-southeast pattern diagonally, and it would take you from downtown to Broken Arrow,” says Spillyards. “It helps you get across get across town. You got the 75 loops. You got the 44 loops. You can take one highway and get on to the next highway.” In addition, bus stops maintained by Tulsa Transit pick up during regular hours along East 21st and South Harvard for public transportation. Ascension St. John Medical Center is 2 miles west for any emergency.
