Moving to Tulsa

[jmoreno2861]

I need some help form the kind people of Tulsa. Got a job there and will be heading out from Houston on monday. Don't want to spend anytime in hotels. Can someone recommend a good area and  apartment complex. I found Waterstone and Foxfire Apartments but wondering if they are located in a safe area. Can someone please help?

Do you know the general area in which you will be working?  That may help some.

Do not use apartmentguide.

Foxfire are horrible apartments with a lot of crime in that area.

I currently live at Waterstone and other than the fact that it's almost 90% mexican...cause I don't see alot of people that aren't besides my roommate and I it doesn't seem too bad. But we're moving out in July cause we're tired of listening to them blaring their music in their pick up's at all hours. You can find nicer places in Tulsa if you look.

Price range?

Amenities desired?

Any special things you want close (bar, places to eat, bus stop)?

Where will you be working and how important is it for you to be close?

What's important?  Price, distance, amenities, safety...  

Would be happy to help, but different areas/units work better for different people.

Look at Lincoln on Memorial or The Mansions.

The Tulsa Sunday newspaper lists tons of jobs and it also lists weekly rate motels to. Tulsa has alot of motels that are cheap. The job market is strong and Tulsa has one of the lowest unemployment rates around. I guess you need to figure out what part of town you want to be on. North Tulsa is real bad they say, anyplace but North "T" Towne. Tulsa's weather is not as warm as Houstons.

^hey mon, when the turn tables turn north Tulsey places in the front of the pole position, and has a head start in the race where little runs swiftest, and poverty redounds to the liberty which is fittest.

Yes- but I can read and have been thinking on moving to "T" Towne. The Sunday Newspaper is full of jobs. Oklahoma has been having alot of twisters lately and the homes have no basements, but on the other hand Ohio weather is cold, cloudy and boring.[xx(]

Do not, under any circumstances, rent from Perry Properties.  Sadly, Dan Perry owns many great old properties near downtown.  He also doesn't perform maintenance or pay his utility bills on time.  The only thing he does in a timely manner is raise the rent.  This happens with much greater frequency than repairs to the property.  (Like, for instance, if a tree falls on your roof...get friendly with the squirrels, b/c you'll be seeing them for quite a while...)

I had great luck with Bailey Foristell.  Signed a 6 month lease and ended up renting from them for 10 years. (Loved the location and 1920's apartment so much, I couldn't leave.)  If the fridge went out, they replaced it the same day.  They manage several properties close to downtown.

+1 on the perry properties unless you can do your own maintenance forget about 'em.  Loved my 1920's apartment on Riverside but maintained it myself and was a regular recipient of cut-off notices.  LOL.

The RiverSide area is a good part of "T" Towne to live in. It's close to the freeway I-44 and your near the jogging trails and the QT store. I don't know if crime is a problem in that area or not.[B)]

Foxfire is great if you like knife-fights!

The guy posted this five months ago and never posted again. I am guessing he doesn't care to read our answers to his question.
