Historic northwestern OKC community

Epworth is much more than its historic district and university. Named after Epworth University — predecessor to today’s Oklahoma City University — this small community is one on the rise. " It was a neighborhood in decline, but in the last 10 years, it's blossomed," says Carla Splaingard, an associate and historic specialist at Re/Max Preferred Realty. “It's becoming a target area for remodel,” Splaingard says, noting the area’s convenient location as a middle ground between the bustle of OKC and the city’s northwestern outskirts.

Renovated, historic homes

Epworth has a mix of three-bedroom houses primarily built between 1907 and the late 1920s. Craftsman bungalows with porches are the predominant house style in Epworth, but you'll also find a sprinkling of Tudor Revivals with prices ranging between $120,000 and $350,000. "Very few homes are built after 1950, but most of them have been renovated," says Sandy Giasson, a longtime Oklahoma resident and real estate agent with Chinowth & Cohen Realtors. "There are some students in the mix, but they're not the majority of people who live there." Epworth homes range in size between 1,000 to 2,000 square feet and sit on long, skinny lots.

Oklahoma City University and nearby public schools

The centerpiece of the Epworth community is the prestigious Oklahoma City University, which has stood tall in the area for almost 120 years. This private liberal arts and sciences university offers over 70 undergraduate programs and around 20 graduate programs. Before students apply to Oklahoma City University, they'll start their education at Eugene Field Elementary School, followed by F.D. Moon Middle School and Frederick Douglass High School. Each school received C-minus Niche grades.

Easy access to all of OKC

"Everything is pretty accessible from here," Giasson says. "It's in the urban core, so you can get to downtown in about 10 minutes, and there's a multitude of restaurants close by." Both Interstates 44 and 235 are within a few miles of the neighborhood, and public transportation through Embark is available on surrounding thoroughfares.

Proximity to the Asian District and nearby eateries

With its proximity to some of the best areas of the city, Epworth residents don't have to travel very far to find a broad range of dining options.

Northwest 23rd Street hosts an array of quick dining options, whether it's Dutch Bros for a quick pick-me-up or Raising Cane's and Tropical Smoothie, among others.
