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.
Cordova

Shelby Farms Park provides a terrific outdoor space, covering 4,500 acres and including bicycle and horseback riding trails, playgrounds, lakes and the river for fishing, the Shelby Farms Dog Park, and the Go Ape adventure center. Ideally located, Cordova is fast-growing due to its natural beauty and its proximity to Downtown Memphis. Cordova pairs historic sites such as the Walter Granville Allen House and Sangie Cemetery with modern amenities and convenient shops and restaurants. Popular destinations include the Cordova International Farmer's Market, the Cordova Bowling Center, and the de Cordova Museum.
