Kendall-Whittier Homes for Rent

Kendall-Whittier in Tulsa, located just 2 miles east of downtown, is a neighborhood rich in history and community spirit. Once a bustling business district, it faced challenges in the 1970s with the construction of Interstate 244. However, residents rallied to restore the area, leading to its current status as Tulsa’s unofficial brewery district. The neighborhood is home to a variety of breweries and restaurants, particularly around East Admiral Boulevard and South Lewis Avenue. Popular spots include Heirloom Rustic Ales, Dante’s Woodfire food truck, and The Pump, a cocktail bar in a restored gas station. Mother Road Market offers a diverse food hall experience, while the Tulsa Farmers’ Market provides fresh local produce every Saturday. Kendall-Whittier is also known for its walkability, with amenities like She Brews Coffee and Bill’s Jumbo Burgers easily accessible on foot. The housing stock primarily consists of 1920s and ’30s bungalows, many of which have been renovated, though some fixer-uppers remain. The neighborhood is served by MetroLink Tulsa buses, and Tulsa International Airport is just 6 miles away. For recreation, Admiral Park offers play equipment, picnic areas, and a basketball court, while the Kendall-Whittier Splash Pad provides a fun way for kids to cool off. The area is also home to the University of Tulsa, which hosts various events at the Reynolds Center. Despite its challenges, Kendall-Whittier has become a vibrant, revitalized community with plenty of things to do and a low crime risk compared to the national average.
