I was born in LA and raised in OKC. I hated it at first! It's kinda like meeting a kinda cute woman but when you get to know her. She's a ten😂. It's great lil city for a affordable housing and the people are very friendly. What I really like is that it's central located. U can drive to Denver, Kansas City,Mo,Dallas,Houston,San Antonio,St. Louis, Albuquerque,New Orleans,etc... The unpredictable weather is a con. The weather can change from 47 degrees to 82 within a day! Could be the same day😂 the two things I really enjoy is the city's transformation. It's really growing. The new venues are being build all over the city! Secondly,the people. I've travel all over the USA And I'm from California. I won't get into regions are states but I will say East and West total different type of friendly😂
I believe we are going to make the move this year, we are a family of 6 I’ve lived in Los Angeles for almost 33 years. A major problem here in Los Angeles is the home market it’s truly out of reach for us . Please we ask for prayers as is not going to be an easy decision. Thank you 🙏
@MrAyahone I can only imagine. Definitely more opportunity for home ownership here in okc. Let me know if I can ever do anything to help. Appreciate you watching!
it’s an OK place to live for a little but not for a long time only lived there for a year and enjoyed it for the first six months and after a while it starting to get depressing. moved from nm to okc then la then tx now in wa enjoy it so much more
I am in Central Florida now, and I have been thinking about moving westward due to our climate situation here. Florida’s cost of living has skyrocketed in the past few years. OKC seems like a nice middle ground as far as location and weather.
@KelvinBrandon yeah that makes sense. We've had cost of living expense increases here too - housing like everyone else, but nowhere near to the degree of many coastal states. We've managed to keep costs down pretty low overall, and quality of life continues to improve here with the city always looking to build more resources. Weather is a little volatile here at times, but not likely to the degree you're used to. I've been thankful to have never had any experiences with tornados in my whole life here in OKC, but they are of course a regional risk. Great place to live - thanks for watching!
@eduardoflores7392 unfortunately that's not exactly how it works. Tornados don't really have more or less probability in any one specific part of the city or neighborhoods. They seem to occur less generally speaking in the city areas vs rural, but they can happen anywhere. That's why our weather technology is so good here, and they keep us all aware of incoming watches and warnings.
@@livinginoklahomacityofficial So you would recommend living in Oklahoma City , or even at Edmond ? Like weather shouldn’t be a reason to not live on those cities ?
@eduardoflores7392 I DO live in Oklahoma City, and have lived here almost all 44 years of my life. Tornados do happen, don't get me wrong. But I have never personally been in one.
Hi, yes, it's something I could definitely help you with either directly or within my network, depending on where you're wanting to build. What area are you thinking about?
Would you say OKC is more dry or humid in the summer months compared to indianapolis, charlotte, nashville? Im thinking it would be more dry than these cities in july, aug, sept... but just as humid in april, may, june. However, with more wind in OKC, it would help keep it feeling cooler when your outside during these times. Or is it just a hot sauna feel all summer? Even with the wind blowing? Whats your thoughts? Also... in your opinion... what are the top 5 less suseptible suburbs/neighborhoods of getting tornados? Or is it all about the same... unless you live in the moore area? Thanks. 😀
@@mattmerritt159 Hi Matt, usually I just let comments go when people find the need to get on my channel and air their grievances about OKC, but calling my integrity into question is not something I let slide without a response. I, too, have lived here in Oklahoma City my whole life (45 years), and to say the city hasn't dramatically improved in the last 25 years across every imaginable type of infrastructure would take an overt denial of reality. Here's a short list. 1. MAPS Programs: These transformed OKC. The Bricktown Canal, Chesapeake Energy Arena, Multiple City Parks, and the new Convention Center are direct results, among many others. 2. I-40 Crosstown Relocation: Relocating and upgrading the I-40 expressway improved traffic flow and created space for development downtown. 3. Oklahoma City Streetcar: Added modern, accessible public transit in downtown OKC, connecting major districts. 4. Will Rogers World Airport: The terminal has been expanded twice, with new gates, modernized amenities, and improved traffic flow. 5. Better Streets, Safer City: A $967M initiative funded by voters in 2017 to improve roads, parks, and public safety infrastructure citywide 6. Trails and Sidewalks: Over 100 miles of new trails and sidewalks were added through MAPS and related projects. 7. Scissortail Park: A game-changing urban park that’s a central hub for community events and recreation. That’s just scratching the surface. Plenty of room to disagree, but the facts speak for themselves here.
Any “gayborhoods” in OKC? my hubby and I are really thinking about relocating next year. We’re going back in October. 🤓 PS: We love your channel. Keep up the good work!

The best places are around the Paseo Arts District. Prices very high for OKC but very gay friendly. Enjoy :) OKC was rated the gayest-friendly city in the South a year or so ago. If you are from the left coast of course... leave your politics at home.
@@cevinkey-yy3ju Yes, indeed. Mind blowing how gay friendly and progressive OKC was. We couldn’t believe it back in August. Specially in such a red state.
@@constantinoferrer7420 Don't let the fact that most people here vote Republican fool you. We are, in all actuality, a mostly Libertarian state. We are truly liberal in the classic sense of the word.... you do you and I am going to do me. No hate... but when it comes to government we believe less is more.
@DAWGnROADIE people are absolutely moving here at a pretty rapid pace. Yes, people are leaving (this is true everywhere, not sure your point). We have, and have had, a net positive migration for many years. In fact, in 2023, OKC broke into the top 20 cities by population just behind Denver... which put OKC as the 14th fastest growing city in the US in 2023. This is not "false hype", but rather objective facts.
Your right about the migration, we have more illegal aliens here than we ever had. Hopefully Trump will fix that though. There all flooding in from Texas.

Only come here if you're based

If you're huh? 😮

my sister & brother in law moved to winter gardens 3 years ago - they wanted to retire in florida for the climate
What neighborhood have less risk of tornadoes ?

@@livinginoklahomacityofficial Thank you for your advice, I feel more confortable now.!!
Would you also be able to help finding lots so i can build my own home and help contact trusted builders in the area?
Hi, yes, it's something I could definitely help you with either directly or within my network, depending on where you're wanting to build. What area are you thinking about?
@@livinginoklahomacityofficial Honestly, I don't know for sure, but I'd say on the western half of the city. Yukon, Mustang, or even Moore preferably.
Would you say OKC is more dry or humid in the summer months compared to indianapolis, charlotte, nashville?
Im thinking it would be more dry than these cities in july, aug, sept... but just as humid in april, may, june.
However, with more wind in OKC, it would help keep it feeling cooler when your outside during these times.
Or is it just a hot sauna feel all summer? Even with the wind blowing?
Whats your thoughts?
Also... in your opinion... what are the top 5 less suseptible suburbs/neighborhoods of getting tornados?
Or is it all about the same... unless you live in the moore area?
Thanks. 😀
Ask a weatherman
It's hot and humid at least 8months outta the year so no......😊
Tornadoes can break out anywhere, not just Moore. It’s hot and humid. The wind doesn’t help lol.
You lost me at “improving infrastructure” 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂😂😂😂 As a lifelong Oklahoman, that’s just a lie you’re telling
