The capital of the “City of Festivals”
Named the City of Festivals, Downtown Norman is the epicenter of over 25 festivals, countless events and a bustling nightlife. With more than 40 locally owned bars and restaurants, boutique shops and various green spaces, there is always something going on in Downtown Norman. For those looking to be near the action, there is a small collection of homes just off Main Street, while the area also has maintenance-free living in apartments. “It’s a place where you can get anything you want,” says Dan Scheem, President and CEO of Visit Norman and Norman Sports. “There is a live music scene, every city event practically happens downtown, and so many local restaurants and shops.”
A small selection of cottages and Craftsman bungalows off Main Street
The housing supply is limited in this primarily entertainment district, and a decent portion is in the form of one-and-two-bedroom apartments. A little off Main Street, buyers can find single-family homes on tight city streets. The homes are primarily cottages and Craftsman bungalows built on compact lots between the 1920s and the 1950s. A three-bedroom Craftsman will go for about $220,000.
Downtown Norman has rows of cottages that are close together for a tight knit community feel.

An afternoon in Andrews Park
Andrews Park was initially built in 1890, and families head to the park to take advantage of the playground and beat the heat at the splash pad. Housed at the park, Blake Baldwin Skatepark brings out extreme athletes skating in a safe environment. The park is a community gathering space with a 500-seat outdoor amphitheater that hosts the city’s annual Jazz in June Festival. Right through the heart of downtown, the 1.5-mile Legacy Trail runs parallel to an active railroad, passing through some of the city’s artwork and sculptures, making it a unique place for a walk or bike ride.
Residents can enjoy playing basketball in Andrews Park.

More than 40 locally owned restaurants and small boutiques
Residents drive about two miles west on Main Street to shop for groceries at Sprout’s. Shopping in Downtown Norman can be done on foot at boutiques like East Downtown, a vintage clothing store, and Stash, which sells a little of everything, including home goods.

Probably the most famous stop is The Diner, featured on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and is only open until 2 p.m. Scratch Kitchen and Cocktails is another option, and each meal is made from scratch. “When my wife and I have a date night we are coming downtown,” Scheem says. Featuring nearly half a dozen breweries, the owners have created the Ale Trail passport. Once craft beer enthusiasts sample a drink from each, they can cash their stamps in for a souvenir mug

The University of Oklahoma in Downtown Norman offer higher education.
Boomer Sooner, a mile away
Exactly a mile away is the University of Oklahoma, a major public research university offering 170 academic programs with an enrollment of more than 31,000 students. The university has big-time college sports, and the Sooners’ NCAA Division I teams will compete in the Southeastern Conference starting in the 2024-25 school year. Students and residents should note that Downtown Norman ranks as nearly double the national average in the CAP index crime score for violent crime and larceny. “Norman is a college town, and students lived checkerboarded throughout the city, but downtown doesn’t have the housing style they’re looking for. Gameday’s in the fall, you will see a bit more crowds, but before and right after the games, people stay in campus corner,” Scheem says.
