The small enclave of Culbertson manages to pack historic homes, local eateries and a neighborhood park in less than a quarter of a mile. The tiny neighborhood is located between historic districts, the University of Oklahoma Medical Center and the Oklahoma State Capitol. “It’s also close to Interstate 235, making it easy to commute around the city,” says Sarah Bytyqi, a broker at Verbode who has been selling in Oklahoma City for 16 years. “The east side of the city is experiencing a renaissance. A lot of local businesses, boutiques and restaurants are popping up. There are also projects coming to the Adventure District, and the Medical Community is thriving, so Culbertson is poised for growth, making it more desirable.”
No two homes look the same in Culbertson
While most homes in Culbertson were built between the 1920s and 1950s, the styles vary drastically. There is an eclectic mix of colonials, Gothic Revivals, small Mediterranean-style homes and European-inspired cottages. The houses are situated on slightly sloped and well-maintained lots along sidewalk-lined streets. Small sets of stairs often link the network of paved pathways to front entryways. The yards in Culbertson are modest, typically below a quarter-acre, with very few trees. Instead, shrubbery and small gardens are used to complement the homes. Prices here start around $225,000 for a two-bedroom house. Larger four-bedroom properties can climb to $465,000. The highest-priced homes in Culbertson hover around $750,000 because they include detached garages and sit on lots above a quarter-acre. “If the home is priced competitively, it will be off the market in less than 30 days,” Bytyqi says. The sidewalks flanking the roadways make it easy for neighbors to connect and walk to surrounding shops, parks and other amenities. Car owners can park in the paved driveways running along the side of their properties.
