2019 Best Suburbs to Live in the Tulsa AreaAbout this List

Jenks

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 44

Current Resident: Still the small town feel even as the population grows! The school system is one of the best around, as Oklahoma suffers from poor school quality in general Jenks shines bright and is a becon for other public schools. The down town area is fun and inviting with things from antique shopping to axe throwing store. There is a nice range of eateries to choose from. We even boast a large aquirum. The police are effective without being militant, the officers are kind and respectful of the public. I find the fire department to be a little laggimg in their response time, but their new Fire Department has been moved outside of the main area of town.

Bixby

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 67

Current Resident: Bixby is a wonderful place to live. You have only a short drive to shopping centers and stores! There's also several parks around the area including one with a dog park for those who are animal lovers! The traffic can be a bear sometimes but environment, friendliness of the people, and safety are worth it!

Owasso

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 136

Current Resident: Owasso is a suburb of Tulsa and has everything you need in close proximity. Stores, schools, and services are within minutes no matter where you are. Easily accessible is a hospital, community college, restaurants, and stores. The people are friendly and there are an abundance of churches. Owasso has a focus on citizenship and displays qualities of good character traits monthly. Owasso is safe and comfortable. Close enough to a city for arts, entertainment, malls, and sports, but far enough away to feel like a separate town.

Broken Arrow

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 298

Current Resident: I love the sense of community and pride that I experience as a citizen of Broken Arrow. With a population of just over 100,000 people, Broken Arrow still manages to have that small-town feel. Main Street is lined with restaurants and quaint boutiques. Near the Farmer's Market, children can play at the outdoor water feature in the summer and go ice skating at the outdoor rink in the winter. Every May, Main Street is lined with hundreds of people for the annual Rooster Days parade and festival. Voted one of the safest cities for its size, Broken Arrow's sense of pride extends beyond the city itself to its schools. Broken Arrow High School was recently voted "America's Most Spirited High School." As with any city that experiences rapid growth, the City of Broken Arrow has experienced challenges with traffic issues and other growth-related problems, but the City is addressing those challenges and recently passed a bond to improve roads and accommodate growth.

Glenpool

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 32

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.

Sand Springs

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 78

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.

Claremore

• Town in Oklahoma
• 90

Current Resident: Claremore is a lovely town that offers many fun events such as the Rogers county fair and food truck Thursday. Claremore has a beautiful downtown filled with many shops and restaurants. I still consider Claremore a small town, but it is slowly growing! The new Starbucks is a bonus in the city and also the Chick-fil-a! New to Claremore this year is the Cotten Patch Caffe!

Collinsville

• Town in Oklahoma
• 35

Current Resident: I have lived here about 10 years now. I love this town! It's a small town but located with 10-15min of everywhere! You don't have to be stuck in the middle of no where (which is where I came from) to have a small town feel! Kids can safely walk to school and play in the park. All the local law enforcement are friendly and patrol the town regularly and keep a watch out for everyone...it's a great place to raise a family.

Kiefer

• Suburb of Tulsa, OK
• 3

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.

Skiatook

• Town in Oklahoma
• 19

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!
