I love the small town feeling, but it is too small town. We are the last large town before Texas on hwy 75 south; we are home to the Choctaw Nation which has provided a lot of jobs and opportunities for the area, however, the city of Durant chooses not to grow with the population. The price for rent is too high therefore we are losing a lot of local stores and no large box stores want to call Durant home. We have very few options for food, mostly chicken, burgers or BBQ, unless we want to drive to Sherman (Texas) for a decent meal. We also grocery shop in Texas because the state doesn't charge taxes on their groceries like Oklahoma does. Durant does have a lot of good qualities, like the people, but the town itself is in dire need of help. After I graduate, I plan on moving out of this area to see what else the world has to offer.
Durant is a growing town with a semi-diverse population. The schools are not growing with the number of students coming in each year. I would like the school district to start planning for the future and involve more assistance to students wanting to enhance their education.
Durant is a decent little town. I've been here for a number of years and even though it is on track to grow into a proper city, the people here are friendly and down to earth. If you're looking for a good little town with good future prospects, this is one to consider.
