Centrally located convenience in Broken Arrow

Several major highways form a loop around Wedgewood, one of many neighborhoods comprising the Tulsa suburb of Broken Arrow. This patch of Oklahoma streets is mainly residential, yet the conveniences of city life lie just steps away. “It’s a great neighborhood for first-time homebuyers,” says Jake Salyer, broker and owner of Hearth Homes Realty. “Up-and-coming. Central location, close to the turnpike, close to Highway 51.” Donna Lantz, the assistant property manager at Aspen Village Apartments, agrees. “It’s convenient to a lot of locations, convenient to expressways. It’s just a nice, chill area, right down the street from the Rose District.”

Quail Run, Turtle Creek and OakWood

With several shopping centers right in the neighborhood, Wedgewood residents don’t have to travel far for the basics. Locals start the day with “egg-ceptional” frittatas or savory crepes from Egg It On Café on South Aspen Avenue. If they’re venturing out for lunch or dinner, the Mexican Flag plate at El Viejos Mexican Grill features a trio of enchiladas smothered in salsa verde, queso and salsa roja. Another local favorite is Tandoori Guys, the first Indian restaurant to fire up its ovens in Broken Arrow. Supermercados Morelos sells meat, produce, and baked goods from its OakWood Plaza location, which includes a taqueria. Exotic ingredients for internationally inspired dishes are available at AbuGi Mart at Quail Run Shopping Mall. And food trucks and takeout pizza joints complement the retail chains at Turtle Creek Shopping Center.

Contemporary homes with cross-gabled roofs

Wedgewood’s residential streets and cul-de-sacs form loose grid patterns that help minimize through traffic, giving the neighborhood a tranquil feel. Ranch-style and contemporary homes with cross-gabled roofs and attached garages punctuate the landscape. Many come equipped with wood-burning fireplaces and enough yard space for weekend entertaining. A house that needs refurbishing might sell for around $150,000, while new or updated three-bedroom homes are priced in the lower $300,000 range. “We see a lot of remodels over there,” Salyer says. Paved sidewalks make it easy to lace up for a morning jog or afternoon stroll. Folks in the northern section of the neighborhood can easily walk to the shopping centers, but it’s generally preferable for residents to have their own cars.

Walking to Lynn Wood Elementary

Students start at Lynn Wood Elementary, which is conveniently located in the center of the neighborhood and gets an A-minus from Niche. They’ll have to venture farther south to get to Ernest Childers Middle School, which receives a B-plus, and Broken Arrow Freshman Academy, which gets a B. Upperclassmen move on to Broken Arrow High School, home of the Tigers. Niche gives the high school — which, combined with the Freshman Academy, is the largest in Oklahoma — a B-plus.

Wind down at Wedgewood Park

The neighborhood’s namesake park is small but centrally located, with plenty of leafy trees for chilling out in the shade. There’s a brook where kids can hunt for frogs and bugs and a play area with wood chips to cushion little ones as they tumble down the slide or jump off the swings. Nearby, the dog-friendly Aspen Creek Park features walking trails, tennis and basketball courts and plenty of open space for running around just north of the neighborhood.

Nightlife at Deb’s Action Lounge

Night owls can check in at Deb’s Action Lounge in the Turtle Creek Shopping Center. Bartenders pour until 2 a.m. every day of the week while locals shoot pool or play rounds at the shuffleboard tables. On special events like Halloween, New Year’s Eve and the Super Bowl, the bar takes the action up a notch with karaoke, costume contests and food and drink specials. The Wedgewood Homeowners Association dates back to 1977 and dedicates itself to preserving and improving the neighborhood. To that end, they host neighborhood events throughout the year, like garage sales and cleanup days at Wedgewood Park. Homeowners compete in the “Lawn of the Month” contest from May through October to determine the most visually appealing yard space. Toward the end of the year, a festive glow enlivens the streets during the Christmas Light competition.

Transportation

The Rose District is less than 2 miles from Wedgewood, meaning residents can drive there in about 5 minutes. Driving to Tulsa or the airport takes around 20 minutes, and Broken Arrow Transit offers a Park & Ride commuter service to residents who work in downtown Tulsa. While Tulsa Transit buses make a few stops in Broken Arrow, folks without cars will have to walk at least half an hour to reach the stops closest to Wedgewood.
