Taking the Broken Arrow Expressway

The Broken Arrow Expressway cuts a clear path through this Tulsa suburb, pointing the way to the central section of town. “That area is really convenient to shopping, highways, all of that,” says Ronda Butler, Realtor for Keller Williams Preferred. The town’s name illuminates a window of local history. After the displaced Muscogee Nation followed the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma, a group went to gather tree limbs for making arrows and subsequently decided to start their own town. The result was Broken Arrow, named for snapping the strong branches to create something new.

Shopping and sustenance at Tiger Hill

Tiger Hill is the name of a shopping center on East Kenosha Street, but it’s also what locals call the cluster of retail and restaurant chains surrounding the Broken Arrow Expressway. “Everything that you would want is right there on Tiger Hill,” Butler says. Popular eateries include Charleston’s, Society Burger, Smitty’s Garage and Oklahoma Joe’s BBQ. Bass Pro Shops draws sportsmen from surrounding communities with marine electronics and outdoor gear. There’s also a Reasor’s grocery store nearby. In the area south of the Rose District, Rooski’s Sports Bar and The Nook Brewing Company are popular neighborhood hangouts.

Brick contemporary builds with gabled roofs

A stroll along Central Broken Arrow’s looping roads and cul-de-sacs reveals a hodgepodge of housing styles. Homebuyers can choose between modest ranch houses from the 1970s and stylish two-story contemporary brick homes built within the past 25 years. Many of the new builds feature steep gabled roof accents and attached garages. Most also have decent-sized yards, but properties tend to measure less than a quarter acre. “You have to go further east in Broken Arrow to get the half-acre lots,” Butler says. The residential streets branch off from the main roads in loop patterns, minimizing through traffic. Well-maintained sidewalks are suitable for strolling, jogging or visiting neighbors, but this area is too large to be entirely walkable. Home prices start around $250,000 for an older house and climb to $500,000 for a large contemporary home.

Scaling the branches at Oak Crest Elementary

School days start at Oak Crest Elementary, which is right in Central Broken Arrow and gets a B from Niche. Ernest Childers Middle School is about 10 minutes away by car and receives a B-plus. After that, students move on to Broken Arrow Freshman Academy, which gets a B, before moving on to the B-plus-rated Broken Arrow High School. “They got so big they had to separate,” Butler says. “The ninth-grade center is over in south Broken Arrow.” Combined with the Freshman Academy, Broken Arrow is the largest high school in Oklahoma. During football season, locals gather to cheer on the team at Tiger Memorial Stadium on East Albany Street.

Nine holes at Nienhuis Park

Nienhuis Park is the hot spot for outdoor recreation. The main draw is the skate park, which includes a large bowl, high rail and ledges. Bicycles and scooters are allowed in the park, and skateboards and roller skates are standard. The adjacent nine-hole disc golf course features a variety of moderately challenging shots in a lightly wooded area abutting a small lake. There’s also an onsite aquatic facility with two pools, slides, diving boards and a splash pad.

Taking Route 64 to Tulsa

It takes about 20 minutes to drive to downtown Tulsa. Many residents work nearby, but others regularly commute to Tulsa. Tulsa Transit buses serve the area, but there aren’t a lot of stops in the city, so it’s easier to drive. When the Broken Arrow Expressway, also known as state Highway 51, crosses into the greater Tulsa region, it turns into U.S. Route 64, which leads right into Cherry Street and the downtown districts.

U.S. Route 51 leads to downtown Tulsa in about 15 minutes.

Rooster Days are something to crow about

When May rolls around, Rooster Days awaken the community. The celebration dates to 1931, making it one of the oldest continually running festivals in the state. “It’s quite a big deal,” Butler says. Celebrants enjoy live music, carnival rides and fair staples like corn dogs and cotton candy. There’s a wine garden for mature visitors and a children’s area for the little ones, who line up with goody bags for scooping up candy at the Saturday parade. In the dog days of August, Taste of Summer offers residents all the Blue Bell ice cream they can eat at the Central Park Community Center.
