Racing toward the future

Whether traveling locally or internationally, residents of Raceway are in a prime position to get to any destination. Not only are there expressways stretching in every direction, but the Raceway neighborhood is under 6 miles away from the Tulsa International Airport. Besides paths of travel, Raceway is also home to the passion of many Tulsa residents. “Cars are a very big thing around here; racing is a big thing,” says Patricia Love-Renton, Associate Realtor with McGraw, who has been working in real estate for the last 25 years. Raceway has not one but two tracks for residents and car enthusiasts to enjoy. Surrounding businesses are primarily commercial, so for parks and everyday shopping, residents hop on the closest highway and can be at their destination in under 12 minutes.

Ranch-style homes in Raceway

While the majority of Raceway is comprised of industrial properties, the residential housing that exists is mostly manufactured homes or built in the ranch-style. These homes are listed between $314,000 to $448,000 and built between the 1960s and 1980s. Investors recognize the convenience of the area’s location, being right in the middle of multiple interstates for commuters’ benefit and have begun constructing apartments for rent. “Those areas are sought after because of the price,” Love-Renton says.

Raceway is largely made up of three and four-bedroom ranch-style homes.

Centered on education

Owasso Public School District students attend Mills Elementary School, a Niche B-plus graded school. For the years of middle school, students enter centers divided by grade. Owasso Sixth Grade Center and Owasso Seventh Grade Center each earn a Grade of A from Niche. Owasso Eighth Grade Center holds a Grade of B-plus from Niche and is where students are required to take three major tests: Explore Test, Oklahoma Writing Test and Oklahoma State Criterion Reference Test. At Owasso High School, students are enrolled in the 1-to-1 program, where each student is given a Chromebook for school and at-home use. This high school receives a Grade of A from Niche.

Fireworks and festivals

Downtown is the place to be in Tulsa for all major events. “From spring to fall at the First Friday Art Crawl, we listen to all the music and see all the local vendors and artists,” Love-Renton says. “Tulsa is like this hidden gem where you can do so many things for free if you just look for them.” One favorite is the fireworks displays they do at Veterans Park, leaving crowds in awe. Raceway’s convenient proximity to all the expressways makes getting to these events and attractions, like the racetrack, always quick and easy.
