Suburban Northridge sits 15 miles from downtown OKC
In the western reaches of Oklahoma City, residential neighborhoods like Northridge maintain a quiet, suburban feel while still being connected to the metropolitan area. “It’s a pretty residential area, really close to the Northwest Expressway,” says Jenna Lovelace, senior communications manager for VisitOKC. “That’s one of the main veins in Oklahoma City.” Big-box shopping along the Expressway ensures that residents don’t have to go far for essentials, and downtown OKC is about 15 miles away via Interstate 344, located nearby. Northridge also enjoys proximity to nature, with Lakeshore Park, along Lake Hefner, less than a 5-mile drive.
Ranch-style and contemporary homes in residential neighborhood
Northridge is an almost entirely residential neighborhood made up of single-family homes, but a few apartment buildings are sprinkled along its east side. Stately trees lend shade to lots that can measure up to a third of an acre, with tidy front lawns and paved driveways. Some parts of the neighborhood have sidewalks. Homes were mostly built in the late 1970s to mid-'90s and include ranch-style homes with attached garages and brick contemporary houses. Prices range from about $175,000 to $300,000. The median home price in Northridge is $213,000, which is low by Oklahoma City standards, where the median home price is $266,000, and nearly half the national median of $417,000.
Many Northridge houses have fenced-in yards, fireplaces, and gabled roofs.
Ranch-style homes neatly line the streets of Northridge.

Commuters have several options for making their way around the city.

The interstate offers the fastest route to Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City, about 5 miles north. Downtown OKC is 15 miles east, and it’s another 5 miles to Will Rogers World Airport, the largest airport in the state. Wiley Post Airport, a business and corporate aviation hub, operates about 4 miles from the neighborhood. Buses on the EMBARK system stop on North Council Road near the Northwest Expressway with routes around the city.

Home of Northridge Elementary School
Kids can start school at the neighborhood's Northridge Elementary, which offers various extracurricular activities and earns a Niche grade of B-plus. Roughly 85 percent of Northridge students either walk to school or rely on their parents for rides, as transportation is only offered for kids who live more than a mile from the campus.

Close to Lake Hefner's Lakeshore Park
Although there are no parks in Northridge, the neighborhood is close to Lake Hefner, less than 5 miles away. Hiking trails and bike paths crisscross the fields at Lakeshore Park, punctuated by baseball diamonds and outdoor exercise equipment. Anglers cast lines for walleye and bass right from the water’s edge. The lake’s opposite shore is home to the picturesque Lighthouse at East Wharf, 9 miles of pedestrian and biking trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, a model airplane field and an enclosed heating fishing dock. “We go all the time to walk the dog, take dinner, watch the sunset,” Lovelace says. “It’s an Instagrammable spot.” Also a short drive from the neighborhood are Lake Overholser, popular for boating and fishing, and the 1,000-acre Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge, a well-known birding spot with hiking and biking trails.
Northridge bikers can ride around Lake Hefner on the 11 mile Bert Cooper Trail.
The iconic Lake Overholser Dam is a welcoming landmark for Northridge locals.

Tornado risk year-round
Oklahoma City’s tornado risk is much higher than the national average, with the city experiencing an average of five severe tornadoes annually. The risk is present year-round but is higher from March through May. This can drive up homeowners’ insurance premiums. One of Oklahoma City’s 36 fire stations operates near North Council Road, so buyers in that area might also be subject to noise from fire engines.
