Midtown Tulsa with industrial roots and affordable homes
In the first half of the 20th Century, Tulsa's economy was driven by the discovery of oil in 1905, with the city known as the "oil capital of the nation" between 1915 and 1930. As decades wore on, industry led to Tulsa's development and urbanization with more amenities and the construction of residential neighborhoods. Five miles east of downtown Tulsa, the appropriately named Mid-Tulsa is known as one of the city's industrial hotspots. Still, its prime location near the famous Route 66 corridor and affordable homes compared to pricier midtown neighborhoods make it a desirable spot to set down roots. "You see some little industrial areas, but more of that area is the little houses that were built. I'm thinking back in 40s 50s and 60s. And there's also Braden Park in that area and our fairgrounds area," says Tobi Cahill, Broker/Owner with Cahill Realty.
Expo Square is near Mid Tulsa, the location of the Tulsa State Fair every September.
Mid Tulsa homes vary in types, but among them are builds from the 20's.

Midcentury ranch-style homes
Homes in Mid-Tulsa were primarily built in the 1940s through the 60s, with wood-and-frame ranch and bungalow-style architecture making up the majority of home styles. Streets are densely packed, with quarter-acre lots, garages, or long driveways for off-street parking and backyards. "Those houses are becoming quite popular because there's something that's a little bit more affordable for most people," Cahill says. "A lot of investors have gone in and remodeled a lot of them. They're actually quite cute little houses." Homes typically sell for between $150,000 and $250,000. Many residents use the grassy, tree-lined neighborhood for strolls, sometimes with four-legged companions. Due to its heavy industrial makeup, homes can be hard to come by here, and buyers will need to act fast. "In most price ranges in Midtown, homes do fly off the market," says Tammy Kirk, Realtor for Coldwell Banker Select.

Route 66 corridor and Expo Square
Historic Route 66, known locally as "The Mother Road," runs along the north side of Mid-Tulsa, with a collection of restaurants and shops. Tally's Good Food Café pays homage to its location in a retro diner-like environment. Locally owned since the 1980s, it offers all-day breakfast, like pancake platters, chicken and waffles, and heartier dinners like its famous chicken-fried steak. The 10,000-square-foot Next Generations Vintage Market has shelves stocked nearly to the ceiling with collectibles ranging from jewelry to eccentric home décor from over 80 vendors. Two miles south of Mid-Tulsa, Expo Square is the city's largest event venue, hosting the annual Tulsa State Fair and home venue of the Tulsa Flea Market. Visitors are greeted by the Golden Driller, a 75-foot statue of an oil worker paying homage to Tulsa's heritage and the oil industry's importance. The statue is the sixth tallest structure of its kind in the United States and welcomes its fair share of attention. "It's huge. The driller statue out front is a monument," Cahill says. "Tulsa was established with oil in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and that was kind of its thing." Initially, the Expo Square was more farming-oriented, but as it grew and the statue was installed, it became a Tulsa Icon. "People stop there and take their picture with it all the time," Cahill adds. A Walmart and a Target sit south of the neighborhood for everyday items.
Many businesses in Mid Tulsa have the Route 66 theme due to their location.

Braden Park is one mile north of the neighborhood and sits on 10 acres with open fields, a pond and a baseball diamond. "For the people in that area, it has ducks, and a lot of people like to go there and feed the ducks, and it's got the pond. It's also got the swing sets for children it's a good sized little park. It's got a walking trail around it, and it's peaceful," Cahill says. The park is also known for being reliably quiet and never crowded. McClure Park has an 18-hole disc golf course and tennis courts northeast of the neighborhood. The community center has been remodeled and was gifted to the Tulsa Glass Blowing School with open access for residents to see the artistic creations in the studio. Paradise Beach Waterpark is south of the neighborhood and is open seasonally to cool off during hot summer days.
