Cost of living and housing options in University Park Estates
The eastern part of the neighborhood was developed in the ‘60s, and you’ll still see plenty of midcentury ranch-style homes, although many have been updated or expanded. “Some people have added family rooms, and there are a couple of teardowns on each street,” says Brigitte Bigham, associate broker with Think Boutiq Real Estate, who has lived in University Park Estates for over 30 years. “You can tell that people have pride of ownership. They spend money on their houses so they can stay in the area long term.” Homes tend to sell between $1.3 million and $1.7 million.
The western section, also known as Bixby Village, is a newer development that surrounds the Bixby Village Golf Course. Here, you’ll mostly find units in multifamily properties.
