Within reach of I-35 and OU
Couched between the University of Oklahoma and Interstate 35, Southwest Norman captures the appeal of Oklahoma City’s most populous suburb. Pockets of shaded residential streets open up to busy thoroughfares lined with shopping centers and locally owned restaurants, all within a mile of the university and Campus Corner. While there’s no escaping the fact that Norman is a college town, its residents find plenty of other reasons to stick around. “The thing about Norman is, if you’re from there, it’s your town forever,” says Oklahoma City resident Tony Gregory, a videographer in the area. The interstate gives commuters fast access to Oklahoma City, and kids in Southwest Norman attend elementary and middle schools right in the neighborhood.
There is a wide array of architectural styles found in Southwest Norman.

Ranch-style homes with brick accents
Single-family homes and apartment buildings make up nearly 70 percent of the property mix in Southwest Norman, and about half the residents are renters. “A lot of investors buy around there for long-term and short-term rentals,” says Dita Sartain, Realtor with West + Main Homes. Buyers choose from 1970s ranch-style homes accented with brick, renovated bungalows dating to the 1930s, or contemporary two-story builds. Mature oak and maple trees accent patches of lawn, providing shade to paved driveways and built-in garages. Small bungalows and ranch-style houses might cost $175,000 to $325,000, while contemporary builds fetch prices in the $350,000 to $500,000 range. Prices start at $100,000 to $200,000 for two-bedroom condos. In contrast to Southeast Norman, the neighborhood on the eastern side of campus, this area also offers large luxury homes in upscale communities like Sutton Woods, which can command prices from $750,000 to $1 million. That said, buyers seeking a rural vibe might want to check out Southeast Norman, as the landscape there features large swaths of woodland and open fields.

Football and concerts at Campus Corner
With OU and the historic Campus Corner next door, some residents can walk to events like the Norman Music Festival and May Fair Arts Festival, both held in the spring. Crimson Friday Concerts herald the start of football weekends as live musicians rock the stage at the intersection of White Street and Asp Avenue. The Saturday games often pack Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium with up to 80,000 spectators. “Game day is huge, so that’s always a fun vibe,” Lovelace says. Residents should be aware that game days also make it hard to find parking in the area.

Barbecue and burgers on West Lindsey Street
Most commercial activity is concentrated around West Lindsey Street, a thoroughfare that stretches from the interstate to the OU campus. Shopping centers, fast-food chains and auto parts stores line both sides of the four-lane highway. Cars pull up to Classic 50’s Drive-Inn for burgers, onion rings and the classic slushie known as the “Eskimo Frosty.” Smoked brisket and hot links are served on red-and-white checkered paper at regional chain Ray’s BBQ. Legend’s Restaurant is an upscale yet unpretentious date night spot featuring live piano. Residents also head to Homeland, the grocery store with an onsite gas station on West Lindsey. Campus Corner is within walking distance of most homes and features a buzzy shopping and dining scene.
Delicious barbecue sandwiches from Ray's BBQ are a hit among Southwest Norman locals.

Sooner students and noise levels
Oklahoma is in Tornado Alley, where the threat of storm damage can raise homeowners’ insurance premiums. And because the college is so close, noise levels in the neighborhood can be high, especially around Chautauqua Avenue, which is less than a block from campus.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
