Residential blocks of midcentury homes

Blocks of midcentury minimal traditional and ranch-style homes built in the 50s with 800 to 1,600 square feet of space make up much of McKinley Mitchell, selling for $40,000 to $180,000 depending on interior and exterior upgrades. “More investors have started to purchase homes in Tulsa neighborhoods like McKinley Mitchell because of the prices. It’s fairly evenly split between investors looking to rent out properties and people owning their homes now,” Glick says. Lots are typically less than a quarter of an acre in size, lining McKinley Mitchell’s streets with compact, grassy front lawns, short driveways and the occasional mature tree. Narrow sidewalks line some streets near neighborhood schools and connective roads, dead-ending into raised curbs and private lawns sometimes bordered by chain-link fences. The CAP Index crime tracking database gives this neighborhood a 6 out of 10 score, slightly elevated from the national average of 4.
