Access to easy shopping and Downtown Norman
When most people think of Oklahoma, they imagine endless wheat fields, cows and farmland. West Norman has plenty of fields nearby, but this neighborhood has big city amenities in downtown Norman, Sooner Mall and the University of Oklahoma (OU). "The west side of Norman is a nice place to live, especially if you're a commuter," says Karen McIntosh, a Realtor with Dillard Cies Real Estate who has over 13 years of experience. “Norman's main shopping and bigger chain restaurants are on the west side of the I-35 corridor, so it's a very convenient part of town." Brick single-family homes make up most of the neighborhood, and renters can find options in townhouses, apartments and mobile homes. Mike Pierce, a local librarian, says, “Norman as a whole is a college town. We see students of all ages come in to study. OU also creates most of the job opportunities here.” Students, homeowners and retail workers enjoy the convenience of living in West Norman.
Getting downtown or to class
Interstate 35 guides commuters to Oklahoma City, where they might clock in for work or catch an OKC Thunder basketball game. "The neighborhood is only around 15 minutes from downtown OKC and 20 minutes from the Will Rogers Airport,” McIntosh says. OU students and faculty can take the interstate to campus or use 36th Avenue Southwest onto West Lindsey Street for another direct route.
Shopping at Sooner Mall or Brookhaven Village
West Main Street features Sooner Mall with a Sam’s Club across the street. Sooner Mall has over 60 stores and restaurants for visitors to explore while walking around the shopping destination. Shoppers who can’t find what they need can also visit Brookhaven Village on 36th Avenue to browse various specialty retailers, from LOFT to Henry Home Interiors. Brookhaven Village features Pub W, a favorite gathering place for West Norman residents who enjoy craft beer and spicy menu options. Louie's Grill and Bar sees crowds of hungry Sooner fans during football season. Patrons can watch the game on one of the many TVs while enjoying brunch or drinks with friends. Pierce recommends Juan del Fuego Mexi Diner for brunch and lunch, Gaberino’s Homestyle Italian for dinner and Kebabish Bites for Pakistani dishes.
From duplexes to brick homes
Almost all homes in the neighborhood feature multicolored brick siding, staggered roofs, tall entryways and attached garages. Townhouses on the east side of the neighborhood range from $175,000 to $200,000. Many three-bedroom single-family homes cost anywhere from $200,000 to $375,000, while larger four-bedroom units with Tudor-style exteriors cost $400,000 to $575,000. Four-bedroom French Country homes can sell for $900,000 to almost $2 million. Each home has limited to moderate yard space for kids and pets to run around. The homes also sit close together around cul-de-sacs and sidewalk-lined streets, and a few mobile home parks live between the master-planned communities.
Solar-powered learning at Norman North High School
Truman Primary serves prekindergarten through second-grade students and feeds into Truman Elementary, offering third- to fifth-grade classes. Both earn B-plus ratings from Niche. Whittier Middle School and Alcott Middle School neighbor each other, and both earn A-minus grades. The A-rate Norman North High School is the last step. The administration decided to install solar panels to save money and invest it back into the classrooms. "All the schools on the west side of Norman are really good," McIntosh says. "They're a big draw to the area, too."
Duck statues in local parks
Lions Memorial Park neighbors Truman Elementary and sees students and local families visit for a fun day out. This is a great spot to enjoy a morning run along the paved path, eat a leisurely lunch at one of the shaded picnic tables or climb the playground equipment. The Norman Public Arts Board and Norman Arts Council spearheaded the Samo Ducky Project in 2010 to install duck sculptures with designs made by local artists throughout Norman parks. Lions Memorial Park has Ziggy Starduck. The Kevin “Lee” Gottshall II Memorial Park, named in memory of one of the youngest 1995 Oklahoma City bombing victims, features a playground, a soccer field, paved walking paths and picnic tables. The Lego Duck sculpture hangs out in this green space.
Boomer Sooner fun
The University of Oklahoma, known as OU, sits 5 miles away from West Norman. Residents might take a short drive to campus for Bedlam week when the Sooners play against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Norman gets busy in April with the Medieval Fair at Reaves Park and the Norman Music Festival downtown. West Norman residents also visit downtown to join the May Fair Arts Festival.
Weekly tornado siren testing
Like the rest of Oklahoma, West Norman sees its fair share of tornados during the spring. The city tornado alert system undergoes weekly testing, so residents often hear the sirens for three minutes on Saturdays around noon.
