Suburban lifestyle with city functionality
Living in the Oral Roberts-Walnut Creek neighborhood combines the functionality of a city with a peaceful suburban lifestyle; within the large neighborhood walls are several gated subdivisions with around-the-clock security, making for quiet nights. “It’s an older part of town. A lot of character in all the homes,” says Neil Patel, real estate consultant at Keller William Advantage. On the neighborhood’s edge, folks can view the Arkansas River along the River Parks Trail. Oral Roberts University is located on the upper west end and is home to over 4,000 students. Those seeking city-like amenities can find assorted bars and a casino open until the early hours. “That area is close to downtown. It’s about a five to ten-minute drive,” Patel says. “You could go to the theatre, concert venues, lots of small dive bars.”
Single-family properties and condos in gated communities
Residential housing can be found on both the south and east ends. These are scattered among different subdivisions, some of which are gated. Most condos reside in the Timbers or Guier Woods communities. A three-bedroom condo can cost between $200,000 to $250,000. Residents can also enjoy resort-like amenities like swimming pools and tennis and basketball courts. Single-family homes vary from split-level to Tudor or French-inspired houses. “The homes are individually designed; they’re not cookie-cutter homes. They’re older but have a lot of character,” Patel says. “The homes go back many years with old school characters like interior crown modeling.” A four-bedroom home can cost $289,000 or up to $600,000. A house with five bedrooms or greater will cost over $800,000.

Outside of artists, there are also comedians and kickboxing events.
