Bixby

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 79 reviews

Current Resident: The people here are very friendly and welcoming. The town is small so everyone knows each other. I have only been living here for 9 months and in that time I have felt nothing but loved. I have been welcomed in homes and made second families. since I am African-American I was skeptical about how this town would accept me because Bixby is mostly white. But this town has exceeded my expectations and I am happy to have been welcomed here. We have small family businesses that are the heart of our town. Everyone lifts each other up. Bixby is the definition of community. So far I have not experienced anything negative, other than the thin, bumpy roads. Overall, bixby is a heartwarming community that has loving, accepting people in it.

Owasso

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 150 reviews

Current Resident: Owasso is such a great town. Just developed enough to have things to do, but just small enough to still give you that homey feel. Also being close to anywhere in Tulsa is great!

Broken Arrow

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 324 reviews

Current Resident: The people around Broken Arrow are very nice and the restaurants are also excellent! In addition to restaurants and people, the "noise pollution" is very low compared to more populated cities. The only thing that could be improved would be the recycling service in Broken Arrow.

Verdigris

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.

Sand Springs

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 83 reviews

Current Resident: I have grown up here my whole life and honestly can't envision living anywhere else. Sand Springs has that perfect mixture of small town feel while still having the pleasures and fun of a larger community. Only 10 minutes from almost anywhere in Tulsa it offers plenty of options for fun, but the people in Sand Springs are really what set it apart from other communities. An example of this is in the past five years we have dealt with a tornado and currently severe flooding, while not getting much help from other than each other we are handling the flood and displacement or residents, as well as had the tornado damage cleaned up within a week and rebuilding. I love Sand Springs and hope to live here my whole life.

Glenpool

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 34 reviews

Current Resident: Glenpool is a tightly-knit community. It isn't as big as its surrounding towns, but it's growing rapidly. The citizens are diverse and friendly. There are several stores and fast food restaurants for convenience. Glenpool hosts many events throughout the year, such as a citywide "garage sale" day and its own fair, known as Black Gold days, which makes it a great town and community to be a part of.

Claremore

• Town in Oklahoma
• 96 reviews

Current Resident: Claremore is the perfect combination of small hometown community, innovation, and growth. I have loved every moment spent in Claremore thus far. The town of Claremore is an opportunity for anyone to create a fresh start with boundless opportunities. One will be able to find many commodities offered in the big city available in Claremore. Claremore is the perfect place to start your journey, whether it be as a Freshman in college or begin a family of your own. Being a young adult, Claremore has provided me with the opportunity to grow as an individual, by pushing me out of comfort zone. The town of Claremore is truly a family, where one immediately feels accepted.

Collinsville

• Town in Oklahoma
• 37 reviews

Former Resident: Collinsville is nice for a small town feel but that also comes with a lack of much diversity. Living in Collinsville has some opportunities for enjoyment such as a nice public library, park, and a pretty lively downtown area that holds events from time to time. Collinsville also seems to be growing and more families are moving to Collinsville so that has the potential to allow the city to grow more diverse.

Skiatook

• Town in Oklahoma
• 22 reviews

Current Resident: Skiatook is a small suburb town with a country, down home feel. People are friendly and always lending a smile or a hello. You don't have to look far to see people lending an extra hand or going the extra mile to brighten somebody's day. Living in Skiatook has many benefits, such as the beautiful landscape with the lake nearby. I gave a 4 instead of 5 star rating because of problems with taxing and cost. The electricity grid is so outdated that a simple gust of wind will knock it out. Think hot summer days with food in a freezer going bad. Taxes here are a whole 1.5% higher than the neighboring, larger city of Owasso, which is less than 20 minutes away. Due to this, Skiatook loses a lot of business and it is nearly impossible for new stores to take hold. All in all, Skiatook is a great place to live and visit. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends, family, and strangers!

Coweta

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 23 reviews

Current Resident: My family moved to cower about 3 years ago. The town is nice, and everyone you meet is nice. Recently, it has been booming! We've been getting new businesses downtown, including a tie dye shop, a new pizza joint, a new taco bueno, etc. The mid-town roads are nice and it's easy to navigate your way through town.

Kiefer

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 3 reviews

Current Resident: Kiefer is a small town but the community is extremely strong. We come together as one. Our environment is very clean. Everyone I have met is very nice and outstanding. If you asked someone about this town, they would say this is where I want my kids to go up. You get the All American dream here. We are country loving and Christ loving people. The sports team at the school are amazing. They act as like a family. The school is small but that is a good thing. I know a lot of people because everyone talks to everyone. I have no complains about it.
