Close to Campus Corner
Southeast Norman is within a mile of historic Campus Corner, the hub of this college-centric community. Boutiques, breweries, bars and bakeries crowd the brick-lined sidewalks. Campus Corner also hosts events like the May Fair Arts Festival, a two-day event that celebrates local artists with exhibitions, live performances and kids activities.

Ranch-style homes and condos near highways
Southeast Norman is primarily residential, with more renters than homeowners. Apartment buildings make up more than 40 percent of the property mix — unsurprising given the neighborhood’s proximity to campus — concentrated around the intersection of State Highways 9 and 77. Farther from Campus Corner, the landscape becomes more rural, with narrow roads bordered by woodland, open fields and horse farms. This combination of pastoral charm and proximity to OU sets the neighborhood apart from others like Southwest Norman, where the houses are stacked closely together throughout. Home prices trend slightly lower than the average for the Oklahoma City metro area and well below the national standard, starting at $70,000 to $200,000 for condos and $125,000 to $200,000 for ranch-style homes. The Villages is a new subdivision featuring chimney-shaped homes built atop single-car garages, which sell for $220,000 to $250,000. Larger contemporary builds might cost $250,000 to $550,000.

The Mont, home of the Sooner Swirl
The sherbet-colored terra-cotta walls of The Mont are tucked inside a grove of trees not far from a busy four-way stop on Classen Boulevard. Visitors to the local watering hole can relax on the shady patio or find a seat inside at the Z-shaped bar, where bartenders serve Tex-Mex pub grub and the bar’s signature drink, the “Sooner Swirl.” Named in honor of the University of Oklahoma, the blend of sangria and margarita also includes a closely guarded “hidden ingredient.” “You don’t drink more than three,” says real estate appraiser and frequent patron Craig Nolan. “Well, I guess some do. But they really shouldn’t.” Braum’s Ice Cream & Dairy Store, an Oklahoma-based chain, satisfies sweet-tooth cravings from its East Lindsey Street location, while the Alameda Square business center offers Chinese, Italian and Indian restaurants, plus a smoothie shop with a drive-through window. Groceries are available at Walmart Neighborhood Market on Classen Boulevard.

Oklahoma’s tornado risk
Oklahoma City sees an average of five major tornadoes each year. The threat is especially high in spring, but it looms over residents all year round. Consequently, homeowners insurance premiums might be higher than average. Residents living on or around Classen Boulevard and 12th Avenue should also be prepared for high noise levels, mainly due to traffic and proximity to campus.
