A central Norman neighborhood
Original Townsite has changed substantially since the founders of Norman, Oklahoma, platted the land in 1889. What was once the locus of Norman's humble beginnings is now a thriving neighborhood where residents can easily access and enjoy all this vibrant college city offers—from The University of Oklahoma's 85,000-seat stadium to community events on Main Street. "One of the great things about the Original Townsite area is walking to amenities; that's not a common thing anymore in OKC," says Britni Nelson, a Realtor with LIME Realty's Nelson Home Team who serves clients throughout Oklahoma City and neighboring areas. "It's nice that you can walk to restaurants, parks and all the popular places in town."
A grid of 20th century homes
Though Original Townsite's location makes for modern convenience, the cottages, bungalows and Traditional-style homes on these gridded streets harken back to earlier times. Many maintain their original wood siding, while others have been given a sleek new look by owners eager to renovate. Homeowners can greet each other from crowded front porches and porticos; glimpses of pocket-sized backyards and extra shed space peek out from ample tree cover and metal fences. These varying home styles come in a range of sizes and price points, from $85,000 for a small fixer-upper to upwards of $300,000 for a larger, move-in-ready home. "Some are big, with three or four bedrooms, and some small, like the one I recently sold that was 813 square feet," Nelson says. "Either way, it's a popular area close to campus; therefore, people want to be there."
Hitting Campus Corner and local eateries
Locals are just blocks from Norman's Main Street. Early birds snag a table at Neighborhood JAM to chow on a Hot Jam Biscuit or some lemon poppyseed pancakes in a quirky atmosphere. If the wait at the JAM is too long, they head down to longstanding local restaurants in Campus Corner, a lively dining and retail district across the street from OU. Midway Grocery & Market pairs 1950s-style corner store shopping with tasty deli sandwiches; a Walmart Supercenter and a Sprouts Farmers Market are also blocks away.
OU games and Norman community events
The Santa Fe Depot train station serves as a reminder of the area's past and as a hub for current community events. Original Townsite residents head to The Depot, an art center inside the station, for local concerts, emerging artists exhibits, comedy nights, and more. The 2nd Friday Norman Art Walk also brings the community together each month, and students and nonstudents cheer on the Sooners at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
Norman School District options
Jefferson Elementary School, located at the site of Norman's first-ever school, sits north of Original Townsite and earns an A-minus from Niche. Upon graduation, students head down the street to Longfellow Middle School, which earns a B-plus. Ninth through 12th graders attend Norman North High School, which earns an A. Norman North is home to the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program that helps ensure that students who may be struggling academically get the help they need to be able to participate in college prep and AP courses.
Visiting local parks and walking the Legacy Trail
Young children explore the padded playground under plenty of tree cover at small-yet-mighty McGeorge Park at the center of Original Townsite. The community is also blocks away from Legacy Trail, a 1.5-mile rail-with-trail paralleling the active BSNF railway that arrives at Santa Fe Depot. For a full day outdoors, larger city parks sit north and south of the neighborhood.
Commuting from Original Townsite
Those commuting to downtown Oklahoma City reach the city limits via a 20-mile straight shot on Interstate 35, by taking the daily Heartland Flyer from Santa Fe Depot, or via EMBARK, OKC's bus system. Will Rogers World Airport is a slightly longer haul at about 22 miles on the Interstate. Meanwhile, Norman Regional Hospital and its surrounding offices are less than a mile from Original Townsite; commuters can feasibly walk or bike there. Students living in Original Townsite are just 1.5 miles from Oklahoma University's North Oval and about 2 miles from Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
Flood risk and train sounds in Original Townsite
Parts of the Original Townsite community are on the banks of Bishop Creek, one of Oklahoma's major watersheds. Potential homebuyers should know that the banks tend to overflow during heavy rainfall. Also, homebuyers with sensitive hearing should keep train noises and cheers from excited fans at Memorial Stadium in mind when scouting out options in some areas of Original Townsite.
