With its swiftly flowing current, the Arkansas River cuts through Bixby, Tulsa's southernmost suburb. Dubbed “The Garden Spot of Oklahoma” due to its rich agrarian history, the city of 30,000 citizens is about 20 miles from downtown Tulsa. “It’s the hottest growing area close to Tulsa,” says LaJuana Moore, Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Preferred. “Broken Arrow to the south and Owasso to the east have mushroomed so greatly that people are looking for alternatives.” This perpetual growth has led to the incorporation of highly rated school districts and annual festivals in neighborhoods like North Bixby.
Sod farms are prevalent throughout North Bixby.
North Bixby has many local shops, perfect for gift shopping.

Contemporary French-inspired homes along the river
“People are flocking to Bixby right now,” says Brad Borem, Realtor with Chinowth & Cohen. “That’s a booming area with a lot of new developments and new construction.” Buyers can choose from ranch-style homes dating to the 1970s or contemporary French country-style and Tudor-inspired cottages. Most contemporary homes can be found in subdivisions like Addison Creek, where new construction sprouts up alongside the river. Older ranch-style homes are priced at $300,000 to $500,000, while new contemporary builds might cost $400,000 to $800,000. There’s also a bit of range when it comes to lot sizes. Some houses sit on a quarter acre, while others include more than a full acre of land. It’s possible to walk from house to house on paved sidewalks within the subdivisions, but much of the area is too spread out to be walkable.

Historical markers at Washington Irving Memorial Park
Walking through Washington Irving Memorial Park and Arboretum is like stepping into one of the author's own storybooks. The grounds cover 32 acres of woods and walking trails punctuated by statues and memorials, including one dedicated to Irving himself. Visitors can explore the wood and iron remnants of an old railroad bridge, enjoy views of the pond or stop to pay tribute to victims of the Murrah Building bombing or the World Trade Center terrorist attack. Disc golfers appreciate the 18-hole championship course at Haikey Creek Park, which also features a picnic area, playgrounds, walking paths and soccer fields.

Three days of live music and great BBQ awaits at Bixby BBQ and Blues.
Bixby BBQ ’n Blues Festival
One of Oklahoma’s biggest barbecue competitions heats up at Washington Irving Memorial Park every year in mid-May. At the Bixby BBQ ’n Blues Festival, more than 80 teams compete for the top honor, with styles from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Texas and Missouri represented in the meaty lineup. There’s a Kids Zone with bouncy houses to keep little ones occupied, and live bands take the stage in the evenings to liven things up with traditional blues music. “It brings in a lot of people from surrounding areas — Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Sapulpa,” Borem says. “You’ve got local bands, local vendors, businesses that come out and promote, amusement park rides. Then, at night, it turns more adult-style with live music and adult beverages. It’s a lot of fun.”
Shopping on South Memorial Drive
South Memorial Drive cuts a perpendicular path through the neighborhood north of the river, with shopping centers and restaurants clustered on either side. Reasor’s and Dotson Produce stock the essentials for home cooking, and restaurants like Grill'd, Mom’s Family Diner and the Real Taco provide local flavor. Several chain eateries are represented along this stretch, including RibCrib BBQ, Grill'd, Pizza Shoppe and ah-Sigh-e, featuring smoothies and acai bowls. Residents looking for salon services, auto parts stores and local florists will find them here.
Inheritance Juicery is a new healthy restaurant in North Bixby.
