A small town feel with big city amenities

Matthew Matelski has only lived by Lake Hefner for a year, but already feels at home in the quiet suburbs of Oklahoma City. “There’s so much to do,” he explains. “The parks are really nice, it’s safe to jog around the lake and along the trails. The skate park at Stars and Stripes Park is cool, and there are tons of businesses opening up in the area.” The neighborhood of Mayview is comfortably situated in the heart of Lake Hefner’s outdoor recreation scene, just 9 miles from Downtown Oklahoma City. “We have that small town feel with big city amenities,” he boasts.

Comfy chairs on Mayview’s patios

Ranch-style homes and minimal traditional architecture are popular in Mayview, where locals might rely on carports if their homes lack a two-car garage. The occasional veranda or front patio might have a comfy chair or two, overlooking neat, square lawns along streets like N Independence Avenue. Though the average listing price hovers around $250,000, homes can range between $150,000 and $350,000. Those looking for a split level or something with a midcentury modern flare aren’t entirely out of luck, though these properties are rare. For the most part, folks can expect curved streets with ample parking and homes within 20 feet of one another.

Lake Hefner’s parks and recreation scene

Mayview’s next-door neighbor, Hefner Park, borders the 2,500-acre Lake Hefner. The park’s baseball fields and playground make it a go-to hot spot on warm weekends. Stars and Stripes Park occupies a peninsula on the lake a mile or so west. Its fitness court, skate park, playgrounds and scenic views are just east of the Lake Hefner Golf Club and Lighthouse. Water recreation on Lake Hefner is also quite popular. Folks can spend an afternoon on the fishing pier, at the Oklahoma City Boat Club, or check out the 9.1-mile Cooper Trail. Smaller parks include Mayview Park and Tinsley Park, both providing playgrounds and green spaces. Residents can also take classes at the International Dance Studio off N Brookline Avenue.

Second-hand books and records with friendly prices

Penn Square Mall is just 2 miles south of Mayview, and residents can find a Walmart Supercenter, REI and other shops in Belle Isle Station across the street. Lakewood Shopping Center has Natural Grocers, though Sprouts Farmers Market is a few blocks down the road. Barnes & Noble and Best Buy are situated on N May Avenue. But small businesses like Half Price Books and Vintage Stock offer second-hand records, movies and books at a friendlier price. As for dining, Tawbi Coffee has organic blends while Belle’s Kitchen serves up doughnuts and other sweets surrounded by eclectic décor. A night out at Ned’s Starlite Lounge means American fare with unique garnishes and outdoor seating under the glow of string lights and neon signage.

The first charter school in the state of Oklahoma

Mayview’s students attend Oklahoma City Public Schools, beginning at West Nichols Hills Elementary. Receiving a C from Niche, Nichols Hills is only 2 miles east of the neighborhood, making an easy commute for car riders. Families can then choose between John Marshall Middle, earning a C-minus on Niche, and Independence Charter Middle School, which earns a C on Niche. Independence was the first charter school in the state, requiring eighth-graders to take pre-AP level courses. John Marshall High School receives a C-plus from Niche and places an emphasis on athletics, with notable alumni in the NBA, NFL and Olympics.

John Marshall Middle School is the second step in the school system for Mayview children.

A 9-mile commute to Downtown OKC

Oklahoma City’s EMBARK transit system runs buses throughout the city, with stops along Northwest Expressway. However, residents remain car-dependent, relying on local thoroughfares to make the 9-mile commute downtown. Route 74, Lake Hefner Parkway, parallels Route 3, which connects to I-44. N May Avenue is populated with retail and restaurants, extending south to I-40. Locals can take NW Grand Boulevard to S Lake Hefner Drive and cruise past Stars and Stripes Park. Will Rogers World Airport is 13 miles south, while INTEGRIS Health Baptist Medical Center is less than 2 miles south.

5Ks and block parties at Stars and Stripes Park

Lake Hefner hosts events throughout the year, often at the scenic Stars and Stripes Park. The River Festival is held over two weekends in the summer including catering from local restaurants, lawn games and fireworks. 5K fundraisers, softball tournaments, Independence Day block parties and other holiday celebrations are consistently open to the public. Located just 9 miles from Downtown Oklahoma City, Mayview residents can also partake in the city’s annual events like the Oklahoma State Fair, Festival of the Arts and the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon.
