I've lived in Tulsa nearly my whole life and I love it here! There are terrific food, art, and social scenes that continuously expand. I truly believe that for a relatively small US city, Tulsa packs a punch. Navigating the city is very manageable due to the roads being arranged in a grid-like pattern. There's sort of a joke that you can make it anywhere in the city within 15 minutes, which is actually pretty accurate! The people are incredibly friendly, a unique combination of southern hospitality and city quirk. The public schools are unfortunately one of the city's biggest downfalls. A majority of our public schools are short-staffed and under-funded, though in my experience Tulsa is lucky to employ many teachers that are dedicated and exceptional role models. Overall, I have no qualms with having grown up here and no intention on moving away from the city any time soon!
I have loved living in Tulsa! I have lived here for most of my life and cannot complain. Although there is not much to do here, I have great friends here that make it worth it. There are also some spots in the county that are very beautiful- like Riverside. Overall, I have enjoyed growing up here and would recommend others to live here as well.
Tulsa is a good community - for the most part. The constant construction can be tough, but it is very much needed to fix the roads. It is not uncommon to have a bumpy ride to wherever your end destination is. Certain districts are seeing a growing drug problem (not marijuana). Alternatively, other areas of Tulsa are showing greater improvement with investments that benefit the community as a whole (better outdoor parks, better restaurants, better nightlife, etc). Oklahoma, in general, is a very conservative place. If you are more liberal, you would probably enjoy living in Tulsa or Oklahoma City? However, in every city in Oklahoma you can expect to see a lot of churches. Overall, the Tulsa community is friendly.
