A walkable OKC neighborhood west of Interstate 44

Not many westside Oklahoma City neighborhoods have a center boulevard with a grassy median dotted by streetlights, but Musgrave-Pennington is one of them. Originally built to be traversed by streetcars in the early 1900s, NW 19th Street today helps give this neighborhood its city-suburban feel. “To call it a traditional suburb, you’d be missing part of what makes it so special: how accessible everything is. You’re just so much closer to everything you could need here,” says Lola Adeyemi, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Elite, who’s been selling homes in OKC for more than 15 years. While the essentials are nearby, Musgrave-Pennington is just 4 miles west of downtown and blocks away from several major thoroughfares, making it easy to access all the city has to offer.

Located just four miles from downtown, and is near Interstate 44 for easy access.

Brick and stone ranch-style homes

Small residential blocks branch off NW 19th Street, the central neighborhood artery. Along wide and calm concrete streets, buyers will find primarily 1950s and 1960s stone or brick ranch-style homes resting on grassy lots dwarfed by tall mature trees. Prices here tend to be less than the Oklahoma City average, typically ranging from around $120,000 to $250,000. Homes needing major renovation can go for under $100,000. In contrast, homes featuring freshly refinished hardwood floors and kitchens updated with stone counters, modern geometric tile backsplashes and sleek gold fixtures can top $250,000.

Crest Foods within walking distance

For groceries, many Musgrave-Pennington residents take advantage of the community’s walkability by visiting their local Crest Foods, which is less than a mile away off Meridian Avenue. Clustered around Meridian and nearby MacArthur Boulevard, there are plenty of dining options, from national fast-food chains to beloved local taquerias. For a sweet treat, head to Braum’s Ice Cream and Dairy Store. “There’s a lot to do around Meridian and MacArthur, but it’s not like downtown by any means. It’s definitely more family-friendly type entertainment around here,” says Adeyemi, who notes that for a fancy date night or a night on the town without the kids many residents prefer to head to the Midtown or Bricktown districts.

A conveniently located elementary school

Students here can attend Oklahoma City Public Schools. Children can start at Buchanan Elementary, in the heart of the neighborhood, before moving on to Taft Middle. Both schools earn C-minus ratings from Niche. Older students can attend Northwest Classen High with a C grade. It draws students from all over the city for its Academy of Health Sciences program, designed to provide work-based, hands-on learning experiences. During their third and fourth years, academy students can participate in paid internships with local businesses in the health and healthcare sector. Rosary Catholic School is a nearby private education option.

Bike to Will Rogers Park

In true city-suburb style, Musgrave-Pennington residents can enjoy being within walking distance of several public parks. Harlow, E.B. Jeffrey and Grant Corbin Parks are less than a mile from most homes. Children have their pick of the three classic, colorful playgrounds to burn off their energy, but the sprayground at Jeffrey Park off 16th Street is a summertime favorite to beat the heat. Residents seeking access to athletic facilities like tennis courts and an aquatic center, as well as beautifully manicured gardens, can bike along the mixed-use trail parallel to Grand Boulevard to reach Will Rogers Park.

Walk around Musgrave-Pennington

Bisecting Musgrave-Pennington east to west, NW 19th Street is where cyclists and pedestrians can traverse the neighborhood. It’s common to see neighbors walking their dogs along the grassy median. Lined with sidewalks, Tulsa Avenue provides a north-south route and connects residents to EMBARK bus stops along NW 23rd Street. Like much of OKC, residents make use of their concrete driveways, with private transportation being the typical way to get around. Easy access to Interstate 44 makes downtown an 8-mile drive and Will Rogers World Airport a 7-mile drive.

Houses of Worship

Standing at the neighborhood’s eastern border of Portland Avenue is St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. Constructed in the early 1960s, about a decade after Musgrave-Pennington was established, the church has been recognized locally and internationally for its architecture, but it also plays an important role in the community. As the Hispanic population increased in the neighborhood, the church added a Spanish Mass in 2003. It serves hundreds of Hispanic families today, hosting quinceaneras and offering bilingual masses on certain Holy Days. For those looking for other faith communities, there are more than a dozen houses of worship near the neighborhood, including Portland Avenue Baptist Church, non-denominational OKC Church, reform synagogue Temple B'nai Israel and Baps Oklahoma Hindu Temple.
