Tulsa
Located in the northeast plains of Oklahoma, Tulsa is a historic city of nearly half a million people on the banks of the Arkansas River. Known for more than a century as a major oil and gas production center, Tulsa’s economy has grown into the aerospace and technology sectors more and more in the last few decades, and is home to a blossoming media industry as well. Head to Cherry Street if you’re looking for a relaxing dinner or coffeehouse, or pop over to Brookside for a more energetic shopping, dining, and nightlife scene. Tulsa continuously earns recognition for being exceptionally walkable and bike-friendly; in fact, one of the community’s favorite annual events is the Tulsa Tough, a three-day bicycle race festival with parties for riders and non-riders alike to enjoy.
Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City is a thriving city right at the heart of Oklahoma. The city’s thriving economy is complemented by its exciting nightlife and entertainment options. Downtown is home to the Myriad Botanical Gardens and the Oklahoma City Zoo, two extremely popular family-friendly attractions. The Myriad Gardens also include the Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park production at the Water Stage. The Oklahoma City Thunder has built a dedicated fan base, and things always get pretty wild around the Chesapeake Arena on game days. The arts community is quite active with galleries, museums, theater productions, and a music scene incorporating everything from underground alternative bands to the Oklahoma City Philharmonic. The city has been expanding in recent years, and Oklahoma City proper is much easier to get around with public transportation than most other cities in the region, including rail service. Oklahoma City is one of the least expensive metropolitan areas in the nation, and rental rates for apartments, condos, and rental houses tend to be very affordable.
