Benefits of Living in Oklahoma

Whether you've recently accepted a new job or simply want to relocate for a change, Oklahoma is a great state to live in. While it is certainly different from New Jersey, there is a reason long-term residents call Oklahoma home! Here is a look at the many benefits of living in Oklahoma.

#1

The Housing Market Can't Be Beat

Across the country, housing prices continue to reach sky-high levels, but Oklahoma boasts some of the lowest. According to Zillow, the median house price in the state is $143,173, well below the national median price of $272,446. If you’re selling a home in New Jersey, you’ll be able to find a new residence in Oklahoma that easily fits into your budget, and you’ll likely get more house than you had before.

#2

Ever-Growing Earning Potential

Thanks to a wide range of employment opportunities in Oklahoma, the earning potential for residents continues to increase. The state is home to several big employers, including Tinker Air Force Base, Hobby Lobby, AT&T, Mercy Health and Devon Energy. The unemployment rate in the state is only 4.4%, compared to the national rate of 6%.

#3

Exciting Cultural Opportunities

Families love Oklahoma, thanks to a huge range of cultural opportunities, from museums to botanical gardens. Some of the most popular locations include the following:

Science Museum Oklahoma
Oklahoma City Zoo
Historic Bricktown
National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum
Oklahoma City Museum of Art
Myriad Botanical Gardens

You don’t have to live in Oklahoma City to access these fun places. Most of them are only a short drive from several of the state’s most densely populated suburbs.

#4

Little to No Rush Hour

If you’re tired of the bustling metropolis of New Jersey, you’ll love the slower pace of Oklahoma. While Oklahoma City and Tulsa are large, they are not nearly as crowded. Driving times are much shorter in the state, with quick commutes and nearly no rush hours. The majority of commutes for Oklahoma residents are only 15 to 19 minutes.

#5

Some of the Country's Best Restaurants

Oklahoma is well-known for it’s award-winning BBQ, and you should definitely try out several BBQ joints to find your local favorite. However, it is also home to a variety to food styles that all foodies will love. Whether you’re in the mood for surf-and-turf at Vast or the wine-and-dine experience of The Mantel, you’re sure to find a place that meets your expectations.

#6

A Top-Rated Education System

In Oklahoma City alone, there are over 120 schools to choose from, all inside top-rated districts, such as Piedmont and Oakdale. So if you’re concerned about the educational opportunities your children will get living in Oklahoma, don’t be.

Another plus: there are several accredited in-state higher education institutions to choose from, including Oklahoma City University and the University of Oklahoma. When your children reach college age, you won’t have to spend an arm and a leg to send them out of state.

#7

Boundless Outdoor Recreation

Did you know that Oklahoma boasts more shoreline miles than the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Coast? That’s right! It’s home to over 200 reservoirs and lakes, making it the perfect place for those who like boating, fishing, swimming or just sunbathing.

If you’re more of a land-lover, you can hike on Oklahoma’s numerous trails. With thousands of miles of trails to explore, you’ll get your fill of outdoor adventure. While the state may be known for the endless flat prairie, it actually has multiple peaks, like Elk Mountain and Crab Eyes, that climbers will enjoy summiting.

#8

Cheer on Your New Favorite Sports Teams

While you may currently be a Jets or Devils fan, a move to Oklahoma will have you cheering for the Thunder or the Oklahoma City Dodgers. Chesapeake Energy Arena hosts NBA teams from around the country, and Chicksaw Bricktown Ballpark welcomes minor league baseball teams from every state. Oklahoma even has its own minor league soccer team, the FC Tulsa, so there’s a team to cheer for no matter what sport you love.

Top Cities To Live in Oklahoma

If you’re still trying to decide where exactly you want to live in Oklahoma, here are a few of the highest-rated locations in the state:

Edmond

This suburb just north of Oklahoma City has 20 parks for residents to enjoy, and it is also home to Oklahoma University Medical Center Edmond. It has a high median income and is popular among those who work in Oklahoma City, since it’s a quick commute along I-35 or Route 77.
