Downtown OKC and Bricktown are a short drive from Epworth.
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.
Great looking homes with interesting history can be found around every corner.

Both Interstates 44 and 235 are within a few miles of the neighborhood, and public transportation through Embark is available on surrounding thoroughfares.
