Since the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad reached northeast Oklahoma in the 1880s, Claremore has been slowly developing into the charming city of 20,000 found today. Claremore is the hometown of the famous 19th-century actor and humorist Will Rogers, and his memory is seen across town in the memorial museum and in downtown’s commercial strip. Locals come together for community events here throughout the year, adding to the area’s close-knit feel.

On the outskirts of the city, you’ll see properties that reach sizes of 5 acres and more, with a five-bedroom, 3,500-square-foot home with a barn listed for $600,000.
