Current Resident: I'm originally not from Edmond, but my parents moved us here when we were in elementary. They thought it was a great place to raise their kids, and it has been. It's a very clean, welcoming environment. Everyone is friendly, and it's very refreshing. Compared to places near here like Enid, it's a very modern, well-developed city. There's no place I'd rather live!... Read 494 reviews

Current Resident: I move to Oklahoma about three years ago, and I have to say I love it here! When they say there's nothing like southern hospitality they are surely telling the truth. The ease I get when I drive around the city, boosted my quality of life. Norman is known for having Oklahoma University, and the campus is gorgeous with its early 1900s architecture. Oddly enough the nightlife is very peaceful even though there's a predominantly large University, the students do not cause disturbance to neighboring homes.... Read 463 reviews

Freshman: 2021-2022 was my first year as a high schooler and I would say Elizabeth Seton High school made the transition better than I expected! I first learned about the school through a friend's older sibling. I toured the school for the first time. My first impression of the school was great and very welcoming! A few of the then seniors talked to me about the school itself and I almost instantly loved the woman-empowered environment around the school. The idea of an all-girl school at first did not thrill me but now I can definitely say it was a great decision! The school offers many inclusive clubs and sports. I joined the soccer team before the school year began and met amazing people. Even if soccer isn't your thing, they also offer basketball, swimming, and many other sports. It's not all sports based though! There is also a robotics club, book club, equestrian club, BSU, theater and so much more. Seton does a great job of being inclusive and the diversity in the school is amazing!... Read 321 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived here in my whole life. I was born and raised here. I went to school here and graduated at Southmoore high school. I love living here, this city has a little bit of everything! My family immigrated here about fifteen years ago. My silblings also grew up here. I love living in the center of the united state. Although the weather always varies here, there is always a variety of events to go to throughout the seasons. The neighbors here are very peaceful and the school systems are excellent. I am glad to say that I have had some of the most talented teachers throughout my educational experience. I wish dearly to further purse my education and become a first generation student to make myself as well as my parents proud. As the eldest child my siblings look up to me and i wish to show them that going to college is possible and they can do it too.... Read 187 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived here, in OKC, since birth. I really enjoy it. I love traveling to other places, but I am always happy to return home. Gazing over the wide open plains and seeing the beautiful sunrises and sunsets sets my heart at peace like no other place can. I love that I can travel 2-3 hours from the metro and experience some mountain trails to hike. The vast landscape of the state we have here in Oklahoma ranges from lakes to mountains to plains. There are many exciting and fun festivals throughout the year along with the ever-growing and popular events and restaurants around Bricktown. This area has expanded into Mid-Town, Paseo, and Film Row among other fun and exciting areas around the city. Scissortail Park is a great outdoor park for kids and parents; concerts are held continuously at Scissortail, the Zoo Ampitheater, or various other venues around the city. Come and see!...

Current Resident: What I like about the city of Warr Acres is that it is a very diverse place, with people of every race and heritage. This brings new light to our neighborhood because because it gives others a chance to learn about other peoples heritages and how these heritages differ from one another and in what ways they differ. In addition, the neighborhood of Warr Acres consists of a public high school, and many small shops that provide interaction between boys and girls, and enjoy the experience of shopping in several different small shops, that all contain different consumer products within them that have their own special value to different people....

The area is focusing on its part of NW 23rd street and we're looking forward to seeing it come up. Many good restaurants, parks and lake activities. Would like to see a better grocery store and more focus on the property upkeep, esp.if the area apartments. More young people moving here and remodeling homes, it's a fun and interesting collection of houses. No two houses are the same! We like the city's focus on recycling and more concern for the cleanliness appeal of the area. Overall we are quite happy in this community!... Read 56 reviews

Current Resident: I rate my neighborhood a 3 because you do family dynamics that make the neighborhood feel safer. the neighbors look out for each other and I am friends and get along well with all of them. there are a few rent houses though, and people are constantly moving in and out of them it seems every few months or so. this is not something that would make me move out of the neighborhood, and overall I think that the neighborhood is very friendly. one of the things that I do not care for is that there are some people who drive extremely fast down the streets and we have quite a few children who play in the streets and in their yards. there is also a school right down the street from my house and I fear that one of these children may get hit someday by these few reckless drivers we have....
