Tulsa Reviews
Rating 3.68 out of 5 1,129 reviews
Nice sized city with plenty of amenities. I moved from NYC and also lived in San Jose for a few years. Tulsa by far has to be the most friendliest city I’ve visited. There are several upscale areas for working professionals and the community is very strong. Neighbors will look out for each other and are very respectful. There are a few private schools and really nice suburbs like Bixby and Jenks close by if you need more square footage. Tulsa International Airport, while simple is one of the cleanest and well maintained spirits I’ve seen. I can fly “direct” to DC, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Chicago and NYC - you can’t say that about every city this size. Good eateries from Arabic food, Italian, Mexican, American and French. Tulsa also experiences all 4 seasons. Severe weather is also possible but same can be said about other areas of the country. Large arts and art deco scene. Tulsa reminds me of Austin but less crowded. People are always in a good mood. Nice hills and mountains!
Tulsa is a suburban city that ranges from being empty to cluttered with buildings. I have lived in Tulsa my entire life and where I live it's a nice and quiet area, but it doesn't have a lot of local entertainment areas, instead being full of car shops and fast food restaurants. Tulsa provides various types of jobs which can be easy to locate with most locations hiring; however, traffic or construction may be an issue at times when driving to your job. The weather can range wildly, with one week being dry and hot, and then the other week rainy and cold; but with some preparation the weather can be a nice change of pace. Overall, Tulsa isn't the most entertaining city to move to but it's comfortable with some common flaws, if you're a person who enjoys a rural life with urban attributes, then this city may be perfect for you!
Tulsa has some great historical landmarks, such as historic downtown, Cherry Street, and many attractions along historic Route 66. We also have newer attractions that draw in many people from out of state. One in particular is Gathering Place, a world-class park with amazing attractions, all for free! It is currently 66.5 acres, but will be expanded to 100 acres by the time the park is completed. Tulsa's high crime statistics can be a deterrent, unfortunately, but it, and its suburbs, are rapidly growing cities. Overall, a great place to live and work.
