Thinking about buying property in tulsa
I have heard that crime is high in the north part of tulsa. I am thinking of buying a home near the River West Festival Park. It is also near the Sun Refinery plant. I have only been to Tulsa once and I do not remember this part of town. Can someone tell me if this area is high in crime? Any info would be great!

To be brutally honest, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my car parked for 10 minutes in that neighborhood. Lots of low rent apartments and a couple of full blown projects. There are much better neighborhoods than that area. Try the areas around TU, Peoria, Lewis, etc.

74136 would be the area of my choice in Tulsa. OR, I believe 74105 may be a nice area, too. Just my personal opinion though and I'm not familiar enough with Tulsa to know the different areas well.

Crime is higher in North Tulsa than most any other part of Tulsa. River West Festival Park and the Sun Refinery are not part of North Tulsa, though. On the west side of the river, the Red Fork area is going through renovation and offers some magnificent investment opportunities. Berryhill is upscale and thriving. Oakhurst is as close as you will get to a slum in Tulsa, but I don't think the crime level is all that bad....it's just poor. Carbondale is predominately older (post WWII housing) but very pleasant. There is a lot of pride in west Tulsa, and you will find it a nice place to live.

You should take a look at the police website and judge the crime levels for yourself. No place is immune to crime.

Thanks for info. Regarding the post about projects in this area, can you tell me where or the name of the apartments? I have researched on the internet and cannot find it. Thanks!
