Fort Gibson

• Town in Oklahoma
• Rating 3.89 out of 5  35 reviews

Former Resident: I grew up in Ft. Gibson. The people in this town are genuinely wonderful. They are kind, generous, and easy-going people that absolutely love their lives here. Everyone knows each other and would give the shirt off their back for you, without hesitation. Even though I moved away (went to college and ended up in the city afterwards), everyone in town still checks up on me. I was diagnosed with cancer some years back and I got more support from my hometown than I did my current one. This is the perfect town for raising kids, and everywhere you go in town, you run into friends and familiar faces. If your looking for a community that is genuinely good, honest and loving, look no further. The schools are exemplary, they care about every student and their individual needs. I wouldn't be who I am today, if I hadn't grown up in Ft. Gibson. This town is everything a family could possibly ask for, plus alot more. I am so proud to call Ft. Gibson my hometown!

Goldsby

• Suburb of Oklahoma City, OK
• Rating 4 out of 5  1 review

Current Resident: I like Goldsby for three important reasons. One reason is that you feel like you are in the country but in reality you are only 10 minutes away from downtown Norman. The second reason i like Goldsby is because of the awesome people here. Everyone is friendly and incredibly nice. The third reason i like Goldsby is because it is close to the University of Oklahoma and i love going to college football games.

Tonkawa

• Town in Oklahoma
• Rating 3.5 out of 5  6 reviews

Current Resident: It is a small town, and thus, its citizens look out for one another. But that being as it may, there is hardly a diversity in personality in this quaint town.

Ninnekah

• Town in Oklahoma
• Rating 2.5 out of 5  2 reviews

Current Resident: I extremely like the small community, everyone knows each other, and anytime someone is in need, the whole community gathers to help. I have experienced this helpfulness first hand and hope that never changed in my community. One thing I would like to see change is getting the students and younger generations more involved in cleaning up the town to ma it look nicer.

Mangum

• Town in Oklahoma
• Rating 3.67 out of 5  6 reviews

Current Resident: Even though the town is small it’s a great place. The people are friendly and know pretty much everyone. I think Mangum is the right size, it’s not too small or big and it’s surrounded by country side.

Edmond

• Suburb of Oklahoma City, OK
• Rating 4.22 out of 5  462 reviews

Current Resident: I experienced my first encounter with the town of Edmond when I became a student at the University of Central Oklahoma in the summer of 2018. At first, I felt small in such a large, busy city. I felt welcomed when I arrived on the campus. As I continued to commute to school, I would diverge into different routes before and after class to see what Edmond had to offer as I felt moving here would be better on my behalf. I learned the traffic could be heavy, people buzzing everywhere I looked, but no wonder as I learned further. There are many shops, restaurants, places to hang out, salons and spas, game rooms, and more. Edmond is always bursting with life and laughter and is continuing to grow still.

Newcastle

• Suburb of Oklahoma City, OK
• Rating 3.59 out of 5  22 reviews

Nearby Resident: Newcastle is and always will be the town that helped molded me into the man I am today. It led me to honorably serve my country in the United States Marine Corps. I left it in 2016 and returned late 2020 to a more modernized, culturally acceptable community that has done nothing but flourish and grow since.

Bartlesville

• Town in Oklahoma
• Rating 3.88 out of 5  126 reviews

Current Resident: Bartlesville is a unique town in that all you need is here, and yet you have the benefits of small town living. Everything you need is within a 10-minute of the city center and traffic is minimal! For a town this size (population of about 40k), there is a good variety of restaurants and an often visited live theatre.

Owasso

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• Rating 3.98 out of 5  160 reviews

Current Resident: Owasso is definitely a great place to raise a family. The schools are very nice. Owasso is one of the best schools for academics, arts, and sports in the state.
It is a very safe area, especially compared to surrounding towns and cities. While there is virtually no nightlife in the town, it isn't far from Tulsa which has a good nightlife scene, aside from the safety issues. We have lots of parks, trails, and gyms to get good exercise. We have countless restaurants from fast food all the way up to fine dining. My experience growing up in Owasso has been great. I have made the best friends I could ask for and made so many fantastic memories. I couldn't have asked for a better small town to have grown up in.

Yukon

• Suburb of Oklahoma City, OK
• Rating 4.28 out of 5  123 reviews

Current Resident: Perfect small-town feel with all the amenities, activities, and events of a large city. Local rodeos, shops, restaurants, and people are amazingly friendly with a community feel. Where I would like it to change is in the condition that the localities maintain the roads in general. Winter road maintenance is left to the communities, leaving some roads impassable when it snows which adds to the potholes and road damage the rest of the year. Construction, when it's done, is shotty and only fills in damage that is dangerous. The roads have destroyed my tires and suspension, increasing vehicle maintenance costs and decreasing valuation significantly.

Bixby

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• Rating 3.76 out of 5  87 reviews

Current Resident: Bixby is known to be a quiet and nice suburb on the south side of Tulsa. Bixby is known to have excellent public schools and more affordable homes. In my last 15 years of living here, this definitely seems to be true as the school district is decent (based on the point of view of a student). Bixby also has nice members and is also family friendly. There are also plenty of affordable homes that people can get here and Bixby is a short drive away from Tulsa. There is only two problems with this place: lack of jobs and lack of diversity. In terms of the job market in Bixby, most residents work in Tulsa, which shows a lack of jobs in the Bixby area. Also, there isn't much diversity of residents here. In summary though, Bixby is a solid suburb to live in, and has a couple issues, like most suburbs do.

Cache

• Rating 4 out of 5  7 reviews

Current Resident: Its a small town. Not much to do there, but is near the Wichita Mountains. I have lived here for most of my life. It is near Fort Sil so you will hear Artillery being fired. There is a lot of history here. It is close to Lawton, Oklahoma. Around Cache is mostly country side which is very pretty.

Current Resident: Altus is a small town but after living abroad and in other parts of the U.S it is a breath of fresh air. The locals are very friendly. I've lived here for three months and it already feels like home. There are lots of locally-owned restaurants which I love because they offer uniqueness. Altus is located about 2 hrs from Oklahoma City if you have a yearning for big-city sights. Altus is a good town to live in and raise a family.

Current Resident: Verdigris is a quiet residential area yet it is only minutes to outdoor recreation and to Tulsa. The school system is good here, also. Verdigris could use more businesses in order to boost our economy.

Current Resident: Overall, a very good town! There is lots to do here and always something interesting going on somewhere! However, as people are, some are kinda snooty. Hence the 4/5 stars. Excluding that, i would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet neighborhood.
