We live in central Illinois and we want to move with our voting feet. We’ve been doing much research for the past two years on various states (i.e. taxes, climate, engineering jobs, etc.) We have narrowed down to five potential states for us to relocate. One of which happens to be Oklahoma.

For the past two years, we have driven through Oklahoma to and from Texas (via mini-van trip). We did not have the time nor finance to check into Oklahoma, thus plan to visit this fall.

We’a a year-round homeschool family and we are looking into living on a hobby-type farm with plenty of acreage (20 plus). My hubby is almost firmly set on gently rolling hills (terrain) with some to plenty of greenery. He’d rather steer clear of flat land and arid climate.

Would you please offer several of areas and/or geography that offers gently rolling terrain, so that it’ll help us reduce wasted time of research? It would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your time to answer.

Debbie

I would check out Tahlequah, Oklahoma. It sits in the foot hills of the Ozarks. Tons of green hills, crystal clear creeks, lakes and ponds.

That's basically anywhere in Eastern Oklahoma.

Some of my relatives just bought a place in the country in Payne County. The grounds are all rolling hills.

If it came with a pond, that's double great.

If you want to be close to Oklahoma City, then land on Route 66 northeast of there, like around Arcadia Lake is nice for some semi wooded, kinda hilly scenery.

Two ponds. Both with fish. They like to fish, but always throw back the catch. In my opinion, they need to be committed to an institution. lol

You'll be at home anywhere in Green Country. Get ready for some differences in culture and think about that before you move.

Allow me to introduce you to our own brand of country music called Red Dirt.

Good luck with your decision(s).

Enjoy the Great State of OKLAHOMA!
