Absolutely loved Tulsa. The city feels new with a little of historic feel to it. Great little food spots with a park called the Gathering place that is free to the public with lots of things to do!
Oklahoma City metro is nearly 1.5million with 675k in the city. Metro includes Guthrie to Purcell (includes Norman). Tulsa metro just made 1m with 400k in the city. Metro Tulsa includes Claremore. 2020 census.
Tulsa metro has just over 1 million residents and OKC metro has around 1.5 million. The city of Tulsa has around 402,000. And OKC has around 650,000 ever Tulsa is much smaller an area than OKC which means Tulsa is more Densely populated than OKC.
A few things: The Land Run of 1889 had multiple starting points along the outskirts of Central Oklahoma, none were where near Guthrie. OKC has the Largest Stockyards on earth. Claremore is absolutely part of the Tulsa Metro and Norman is a suburb of OKC. OKC's metro population(1.45 million)is considerably larger than Tulsa's(1 million). Tulsa is generally not considered in the foothills of The Ozarks but you can get to areas that would fit that description in less than an hour drive. Stillwater is actually slightly closer to the OKC metro area than it is to the Tulsa metro. The difference in scenery and landscape between the two cities is also overblown. Tulsa gets a little more rain and has slightly more trees and terrain although the Eastern side of the OKC metro is very comparable to areas around Tulsa. It's when you get into the Western parts of the OKC metro and beyond that the terrain gets more flat with less trees. Where Tulsa really has the advantage is its proximity to nice outdoor locations: Numerous nice lakes, creeks and rivers all within 2 hours in the car. OKC has a few too( Lake Murray, Arbuckle Lake, Turner Falls, Medicine Park/Wichita Mountains, Chickasaw NRA) but there aren't as many and not as nice IMO. Here's the bottom line; OKC is a larger and more big time city with more nightlife and entertainment districts. Having OU and The Thunder right there in The Metro is also very important to a lot of people. Tulsa is slightly more scenic and has a bit cooler vibe. Their Art Musuems and Parks are superior to those in OKC(although OKC does have Will Roger's Park, Scissorttail, and both the Western Heritage Museum and The Bombing Memorial are both very significant).
Stillwater is a great place to retire. College sports. Close to Tulsa and OKC and both airports so you can live here and be on a plane to the World in an hour.
You can't leave out University of Tulsa just because it's private. They are a nationally ranked soccer team every year, tennis and golf. They are a D-1 school in the AAC. They are great to watch live. Tulsa also has professional soccer team and milb baseball team.
I like visiting Tulsa its a nice city. I live near and worked all around the okc metro area it is a lot more diverse than is known. Both have good areas and bad to me its a push i can find plenty to do in either. Okc is more than a cow town as some tulsans think and tulsa is not full of snobs as many around okc think and stuck in the past oil capital mentality.
@@zendariuskincaid5205 she kind of did too. It was more than a white mob it was the Oklahoma National Guard and local authorities committing a massacre against the black population and destroying Black Wall Street
This constant comparison/competition between OKC and Tulsa is ridiculous. Neither City is a juggernaut of growth and/or prosperity. They both would be much better served by creating synergy between the two, emphasizing each cities unique character and attributes.
OKC = Red dirt and flat. Not very pretty but has more to do. Tulsa = Green Country and hilly. Tulsa has more money but fell behind in keeping up with finding things to do. However, the last ten years that has changed with Gathering Place and total renovation of downtown and Pearl districts.
I met this girl at Hobby Lobby back in 2018, I liked her, we both had so much stuff in common, but, the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that she liked me more than a friend, at the time, I had already been rejected by my crush weeks before, I told her, as gently as I could, that I didn’t like her that way, she must have been real hurt, because she never talked to me again, she lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Three years later, when we drove to South Dakota, we passed through Oklahoma, and all I could think about was her, so, every time I hear or see anything about Tulsa, Oklahoma, it reminds me of her.
One more thing I'll add that I didn't include in my last comment; OKC is more prone to drought and has a slightly higher average wind speed which most people hate, myself included. Advantage Tulsa, although some people hate frequent rain.
How can you compare the two university systems and just leave out the private schools? That makes no sense. I'm an OU grad as well, but the premier academic institution in the state is at 11th & Harvard.
Top 5 in Oklahoma are probably 1.OU 2. OSU 3.Tulsa 4.UCO 5. SWOSU In that order...it also really depends on what you are studying. #5 can easily go to another school like Langston
Tulsa seriously needs to fix about 75% of their arterial roads, I would put them in grade D. Also they need to get rid of their Socialist Mayor that keeps bringing up bad history of 100 years ago...not exactly a cheerleader for the city. Tulsa has been in decline for the last 30 years, ever since the oil depression of the late 80's the city just has not been the same...not a city of professionals, there is some residual wealth but that too is starting to flee to other places. My suggestion is drop the Vision stuff that plans things out 30 year...start planning out 5 years, first start fixing the damn roads as an outsider I nearly blew out my suspension system...also the entrance to the I-44 at 31st & Memorial has not been fixed since I graduated from college back in the 80's.. In Phoenix, they build entire freeway systems with 2 years of planning and 6 months of construction...the I-44 work is still ongoing from original plans back in 1980's...
OKC has 1.44M people Tulsa has 1.02M people These are easy to find metropolitan population statistics and are verified by many credible sources. I think its important to note these differences. For example, + or - 400,000 can mean a lot to someone or a family about to move to an area. OKC is also growing a bit faster than Tulsa. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_statistical_area

So glad you enjoyed visiting!
Your transparency is appreciated!
🙏🏻
You're from Claremore?? I got family that live out by Lake Oologah and west of the town of Oologah.
Yes! I’m from Claremore
This was so informative! Really helpful. Thanks!
Awesome I’m so glad!!

Guthrie and Puecell is not the metro
They are both considered in the okc metro look it up.
Tulsa metro has just over 1 million residents and OKC metro has around 1.5 million. The city of Tulsa has around 402,000. And OKC has around 650,000 ever Tulsa is much smaller an area than OKC which means Tulsa is more Densely populated than OKC.
That math means OKC would be more dense, also most people in tulsa don't live in the city, having a higher population doesn't make the city better
I actually prefer Tulsa over OKC and I've been to both.
Love this video keep up the good work👍🏻
Thanks so much!

Thank you for recommending ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’. Just started it today & it’s 👍!!
Awesome! It is good
The movie is coming out very soon

Stillwater is nice as well yes

I can and I did
As a real-estate person you need to see the good things. Retired people with some money, Oklahoma has lower property taxes. Lower state income taxes.
I think maybe you haven’t made it through enough of my videos, keep going
Thank you. I needed this video
That’s great! You’re welcome
Your cultural acknowledgment makes a noticeable difference from other realtors 😀
Hopefully all will follow suit 🙏🏻

They are about 90 miles apart and consider each other a rival.
OKC metro has about 1.5 million, much larger than you stated.

That's a nice story about how we all experience rejection.
That story sounds like a sad country song.

More wind less flies lol
Tulsa is more southern, Oklahoma City is more, Midwestern, and Guymon is more western.
Interesting, I usually feel like Tulsa is more midwestern and okc is more southern
Tulsa is definitely more midwestern than OKC.
From culture, to architecture, and food.

All Of Surrounding Towns In Tulsa Have Bleed Into Each Other .

Thank you for the comment and for watching. Just a decision I made because of time
No, you are wrong. OU is by far the premiere academic institution its not even close
@@zebrajenks Absolutely!
Top 5 in Oklahoma are probably
1.OU
2. OSU
3.Tulsa
4.UCO
5. SWOSU
In that order...it also really depends on what you are studying.
#5 can easily go to another school like Langston
Tulsa is a city that's progressive and cosmopolitan OKC is more like a cow town .

Socialists have always hated American roads. Damn shame.
You think we should just forget 1921? Racist
Maybe a few years of living in Haiti might stop the bitching. Maybe not. Some people bitch about everything. Even if they lived in Siberia.
Excuse me?

I feel sad in oklahoma
Well you are definitely biased living in Oklahoma city
I mean Okc is better tbh, just a lot more stuff to do compared to Tulsa

Tulsa is more cosmopolitan than OKC . Which is a big cow town..
Its not 1898 any longer. What part of Tulsa are you from? There is no difference between OKC and Tulsa in this regard.
@@aaronok1 Okc has a city vibe meanwhile Tulsa makes you feel like you’re in a small town
That was once the case but isn't anymore. That said, Tulsa and OKC both have unique advantages. They complement each other.
OKC has 1.44M people
Tulsa has 1.02M people
These are easy to find metropolitan population statistics and are verified by many credible sources. I think its important to note these differences. For example, + or - 400,000 can mean a lot to someone or a family about to move to an area.
