My wife and I decided to move back to OKC (she was born/raised there, we lived there a bit after college)--and we have decided to return after being gone for 14 years! Your videos are making me home sick. I have never felt more at home as I did in OKC!
It is nice that OKC has all this outdoor activity. Too bad it is too hot to use this stuff for probably a 3rd of year. I would love to see the city invest in some major indoor activity. I've always envisioned a massive indoor recreation area that included an indoor waterpark, indoor theme park, and indoor ski slope. Build some resort hotels around it and you'd have a major attraction that would draw people 365 days a year -- regardless of weather.
Great points! There is a new resort and hotel that is going in across from Bricktown. It will be called the Okana. There are multiple indoor rock climbing places, indoor skydiving, for kids it's the science museum. Riversportokc.org has indoor skiing for all ages. As for a major attraction. I would love to see it, but I don't think OKC is geared for tourism. The new convention center will bring conferences, which will bring revenue, which could even bring companies looking for an economical location for a regional office. People will enjoy their time here, but general tourism would be a struggle. Route 66 and people staying for one night while driving cross country is the goal. City leaders just want people to say " you know what OKC is pretty nice. I was surprised. If you're driving you should stay there," when they go back home. In my opinion OKC is geared for every day living and that's what makes it attractive. It's a nice place to live, but still under the radar.
Thanks for watching and I will see what I can do. All in all OKC is a pretty safe place to live. Give me a call or shoot me a text and we can disable it 😁
What would you say is the most walkable and bikeable neighborhood? I'm looking for something kind of 15-minute City like. I should also add that I am averse to crime and high prices😊
@@MovingtoOklahoma Ah, color me stupid, but a lot more (structure/glass/capital/human life) is riding on north America’s tallest skyscraper (if built) than a trailer or barn… that’s the difference, and it’s no small difference.
@@mark8337 Ask Texans how it works out. Houston has a 75 story building that comes in at 1000 feet tall. Texas has 5 skyscrapers over 900 feet. I know it is a touchy subject, but two 100+ story skyscrapers in NY got hit by jets. That is a lot more force than a tornado. The impact didn't take them down. Granted they came down later due to the fire. The point is these buildings are designed to take the hit. This skyscraper will be designed to withstand and EF-5.
Yes and no. If you can afford the rent and have a clean background check you should have no problems. Now if your rental history has somewhat of a checkered past landlords in Edmond can afford to be a little more picky so it could be more difficult. But not impossible.

That's awesome! If you need help with the move don't hesitate to call.
@@MovingtoOklahoma Will do!~

I searched the crime rates for OKC. Can you do a video on this? It was highly concerning. 28,000 violent crimes in one year.

The best area that's walkable, bikeable and economical is probably the Village. Especially along May between Britton and Hefner.
Awesome video
Thanks for watching the channel
How will north America’s tallest skyscraper work in tornado country?
Tornados can take out trailers and barns
.. height doesn't matter.

Is it hard to rent a home in Edmond?
Yes and no. If you can afford the rent and have a clean background check you should have no problems. Now if your rental history has somewhat of a checkered past landlords in Edmond can afford to be a little more picky so it could be more difficult. But not impossible.
Hey me and my family looking to move to Oklahoma you got any good rental properties company we can use
Are you looking to rent or are you looking for a property management company
@@MovingtoOklahoma yes thank you for reaching back
@@MovingtoOklahoma looking to rent
Sorry, try Sterling (405) 310-2222, they do a lot of stuff with a local builder so the homes are usually newer.
@@MovingtoOklahoma thank you
Your wife is lovely! Does she work with you?
Thank you and we work in different industries.
@@MovingtoOklahoma probably works better for you both that way. Count your lucky stars
bro stop telling these people to move here 😂 im gatekeeping OKC
It's a great place to be!
These places are safe for blacks ? Hi Bro😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Absolutely. I live in one of the most popular suburbs and there is a black person next door to me and two doors down. We seem to be doing just fine.
@@MovingtoOklahoma so wich places would you advices my aunt ? She want a places with diversity and noise to buy a house next january
If she wants noise and diversity my first choice would be the Plaza District. Live music, night life, and it's minutes from Downtown.
@@MovingtoOklahoma cool i will contact you soon for more information...... thanks a lot Bro
Eastside is still pretty bad
Some areas still need some work, but there is a lot of building going on in certain areas.
