The University of Oklahoma is within a mile of Southeast Norman, a residential neighborhood embraced by Sooner Nation. The buzz of Campus Corner infuses the area with youthful energy, and the neighborhood is also home to elementary and middle schools. Meanwhile, major highways feed into Oklahoma City 20 miles north. “It’s a college town, so there are a lot of alumni that just love the feel and the vibe,” says Jenna Lovelace, senior communications manager for VisitOKC. “But then you also have a close commute to Oklahoma City.”
There is a wide array of architectural styles found in Southeast Norman.

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. During football season, Crimson Friday Concerts rock the intersection of White Street and Asp Avenue with live music, heralding the arrival of gamedays. Most residents also have an easy walk to the Norman Music Festival when it takes over the city center for three days in late April.

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.
Newer homes are springing up all around Southeast Norman.

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.

The Heartland Flyer to Fort Worth
Residents who live on the wedge of residential streets near The Mont are within walking distance of the shops and restaurants at Campus Corner. The university itself is also within a mile of many homes, so it's walkable for some and an easy drive for most others. Buses on the EMBARK system stop on East Lindsey Street en route to campus and Norman's city center, about a mile and a half away. Norman Regional Nine, a hospital with an emergency department, operates within the neighborhood near Pebblebrook Park. One of the main highways is 12th Avenue Southeast, which connects to Interstate 35 for the 20-mile drive to Oklahoma City’s downtown districts. It’s also the best place to start the 22-mile drive to Will Rogers World Airport. The Heartland Flyer, an Amtrak train service, runs seven days a week between Oklahoma City and Fort Worth, Texas. The nearest station is on South Jones Avenue, less than a mile from The Mont.

Sunset at Saxon Park
The wide gravel trails at Saxon Park are lined with distance markers to help walkers, joggers and cyclists reach their fitness goals. Wooded areas provide shade on hot days, and sunset delivers splendid views to the open fields. Geese, ducks and turtles hang around Pebblebrook Park’s small lake. Benches and picnic tables are positioned alongside the paved exercise path, which winds beneath leafy trees and past a small playground.

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.
