Oil town turned Tulsa bedroom community
Named after the Glenn Pool oil field which propelled Oklahoma's 20th century oil boom, the small city of Glenpool has experienced a development boom of its own as an upcoming Tulsa bedroom community. “We’re one of the fastest growing cities in Oklahoma, but we value keeping our small-town community feeling,” says Glenpool’s Mayor, Joyce Calvert. “It’s a fantastic place to call home, with all the work, play, togetherness, sharing and all that those words mean.” Anchored by an established community and strong network of local businesses, parks, schools and events, Glenpool balances its growing city with a small-town feel.
Glenpool is located just South of Tulsa.

From Old Town to new construction subdivisions
“We’ve seen a little bit of turnover in the Old Town area where I live, and a lot of homes are being built for different price points. There’s some larger homes and a gated community toward the south end,” Calvert says. Smaller one-story homes built in the 1950s through 1980s on residential blocks shaded by mature trees sell for $90,000 to $230,000, while subdivisions connected by sidewalks built from the 90s through today contain new traditional Craftsman homes selling for $170,000 to $590,000 depending on square footage and lot size.

Highway 75 into downtown Tulsa
"Between the turnpike and Highway 75, we get a lot of people coming through Glenpool. We’re a gateway city,” Calvert says. Tulsa commuters have a 15-mile commute into downtown directly north on Highway 75, intersected by Creek Turnpike a couple miles away which can connect locals to I-44 and destinations like Oklahoma City. Saint Francis Glenpool is the nearest hospital and sits off Highway 75 and 141st Street, and churches of several denominations provide religious services throughout the community. Public transportation is not available in Glenpool, so locals rely on personal vehicles to get around.
Local restaurants and developing commercial chains
Glenpool residents can find locally owned and chain restaurants in their community. “You can’t find better Mexican food than Speedy’s, and the former mayor owns Mamadou’s — they have great homestyle food.” Chains like McDonald’s and Chick-fil-a have popped up along 141st Street and Highway 75, and Walmart, Doc’s Country Mart and Goodwill are mainstays for groceries and essentials. Tulsa Hills Shopping Center is a straight shot up Highway 75, home to retailers like Target, Marshalls and Sam’s Club.

Scattered community parks and Black Gold Park
Several small parks like Rolling Meadows Park and Lambert Park dot Glenpool, providing limited amenities like wooded picnic tables, playgrounds or basketball courts. Black Gold Park is at the center of the community, its wide grassy field bordered by a paved walking path and a row of trees. Off the central parking lot, locals can walk past a towering monument to Glenpool’s oil industry roots to two playgrounds, multiple picnic gazebos, a skate park and splash pad. The park’s soccer fields and tennis and basketball courts cater to Glenpool’s athletes.

Year-round Glenpool events
"We bring people together at all kinds of events, it's part of what keeps our small-town atmosphere. You get to see your neighbors, all the people you know.” Calvert says. BlackGold Days celebrates Glenpool’s oil industry history and draws upward of 10,000 people to Black Gold Park for family fun like a chili cookoff, petting zoo, live music and carnival rides each fall, while events like the Christmas Parade and Summer Concert Series tend to draw more of a local crowd.
Tornado sirens and floodplains
Some areas of Glenpool have an elevated flood risk, especially along Coal Creek. As is the case with many cities in Tornado Alley, Glenpool employs tornado sirens to warn locals when tornado weather is reported.
