Possibly moving to Oklahoma for a job change . We can choose the area since my husbands job is an at home job. Our oldest plays basketball competitively and is devastated to leave his team. Our other two kids love outdoors, woods, creeks, riding 4 wheelers ...any ideas on a town that might fit us? Price range on a home is 375k with minimum 10 acres.

If wind and dust are an issue - TN may be your option.

As I stated, Oklahoma. We have lived there before and wind dust is nothing like Lubbock

Several small towns around Grand Lake in the NE corner of the state. Grove is the one you should take a look at.
If you want to be closer to a larger city look at Owasso (North of Tulsa). A little over 25K.

McAlester is a nice town fairly close to Lake Eufala with lots of outdoors opportunities.

I am partial to the NE quadrant of the state just because of the rivers, lakes and hills but that is just my personal preference.

Tahlequah, Durant, Poteau are all places that might work for the outdoorsy element. They are all "woodsy", have decent schools and ball teams and they have pretty good amenities for small towns. Not too far removed from larger towns for other things.

All are pretty areas and aren't far from some pretty nice lakes.

Well, yeah, if you want to live in a town so tiny that you don't want much of anything in it.

I guess Welch is famous for still having a bank and the fact that Ma Barker and some of her boys are buried there.

Jenks is just under 25,000 people. Not sure you can get 10 acres here at all, you certainly can't for $375k, but schools and sports are the very best. It's like a very nice small town right next to the city. Hills and trees and an old style downtown, but excellent highway access and you can be in downtown Tulsa, Brookside or the Woodland Hills area all in under 20 minutes.

Jenks is certainly very nice but it's pretty much a suburb that was smart enough to hold on to some of it's small town charm. But your comments made me think of Coweta. It's still kind of a small town with access. Not officially suburban yet.
