THE CITY OF BROKEN ARROW
A town with a plethora of activities for families and homebuyers.
Broken Arrow is a lively city with a variety of activities and opportunities. As the largest suburb of Tulsa, the area has managed to keep its small-town feel while also providing the conveniences and comforts of a larger city—making it a choice community for many homebuyers. The scenic area in which the city lies offers a great deal of outdoor activity while the city also holds a love for the arts and its own unique history.
Broken Arrow is a city with roughly 112,0000 residents. Out of a national average of 100, Broken Arrow’s cost of living index is 93.4, with the average household bringing in just over $70,000 a year. Median home sales prices fall at $159,000, making it a great place for real estate. The city is a great area for families with a majority of residents in their late thirties, and is one of the best places in the nation for first-time home buyers accoriding to a 2020 study by WalletHub.
Although founded in the 1830s, the city began a redevelopment and revitalization plan in 2005 to update and restore the downtown area. This process has sparked the expansion of museums, parks, a performing arts center, and even a farmers market. The revitalized historic downtown has preserved some of the town’s unique history, and the area now has a Performing Arts Center as well as a community playhouse theater. And with 70 miles of trails to walk, a skate park and a variety of golf courses, the town has a plethora of activities for families and homebuyers.
A community of Alabama Creek Natives settled in the Broken Arrow region after the Trail of Tears, naming the region Rekackv, meaning broken arrow, after their old home in Alabama. With much of Broken Arrow’s industry derived from agriculture and coal, the city did not grow much during the beginning of the 20th century. However, the creation of the Broken Arrow Expressway in the 1960s caused the region to grow into a thriving suburban area, making Broken Arrow homes some of the best in the Tulsa metro area.
The Broken Arrow Public School District, ranked number 38 in the state, has extremely high ratings for the clubs and activities they provide students and primarily services Broken Arrow.
