Coweta offers small-town charm with access to Tulsa and Broken Arrow
A small town in Oklahoma of about 10,000 residents, Coweta offers older homes, new construction and superb schools. Additonally, it's located 12 miles from Broken Arrow and just a 30-minute drive from downtown Tulsa. With small-town comfort and charm paired with big-city convenience, what Coweta lacks in size, it more than makes up for in amenities.
Ranch-styles, modern builds and Tudors shape the market
Homes in the area range from mid-century ranch-style homes to multi-story new construction moderns, and prices reflect that broad span of options. The median price of real estate in Coweta hovers around $249,000, and buyers can expect to pay $162 per square foot on average. A cozy two-bedroom and one-bathroom ranch-style home sells for about $142,000, while prices can go up to $477,000 for a sprawling five-bedroom and four-bathroom Tudor-inspired home. “There are a lot of people moving into the area,” says Realtor Mac McIntire. “It’s an up-and-coming area and it’s a great community with a good variety of price points.”
Coweta public schools are reputable in the area
Coweta students can attend Southside Elementary, Sloat Junior High and Coweta High School. Southside earns an A-minus rating on Niche, while Sloat Junior High earns a B-minus and Coweta High School earns a B. Students at Coweta High School have the opportunity to engage in a variety of extracurricular activities, including the Tiger Pride Band, the Art Club and the Native American Student Organization. “The schools are excellent,” says McIntire. “They are some of the best in the area.”
Local community parks provide play space and walking trails
There are multiple parks in the area with a variety of amenities designed for entertainment and relaxation. Campbell Memorial Park features a playground and covered picnic shelter, and Roland Park has a hiking trail, playground and basketball court. The nearby Ray Harral Nature Center & Park has 3 miles of linked nature trails, two picnic shelters a suspension bridge. The Golf Club of Oklahoma is also nearby, offering members access to a 18-hole championship golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, a clubhouse and a restaurant.
Cafes, markets and the Oak Grove Shopping Center serve residents
For groceries, there's Doc’s Country Mart, and for home necessities, there's Walmart Super Center. When it comes to dining out, Coweta has plenty of options to fit just about any preference. Residents can get their morning caffeine fix along with a yummy breakfast sandwich at Wild Child Coffee Shop. For fresh Cajun-style seafood, locals can choose T-Johnny’s Seafood and Cajun Market for fried alligator, etouffee, gumbo and plenty of other New Orleans-style cuisine. For some old-fashioned soul food, 1843 on Broadway serves entrees like Southern fried catfish, shrimp and grits, meatloaf and chicken fried steak.
The Oak Grove Shopping Center can handle retail therapy needs, and Downtown Tulsa offers even more retail and dining options. “Getting to the highway is easy, so it's no problem getting to Broken Arrow or Tulsa," says McIntire. “And with Tulsa really starting to boom, it’s great to be able to get there so easily.”
