Exploring the gardens at Will Rogers Park

The park also hosts programs such as gardening classes and camps for kids. Geraldine Park, on the western side of the neighborhood, has a playground and walking paths.

Downtown is roughly 7 miles southeast, and commuters often drive to work, though Oklahoma City’s EMBARK bus system has stops near the neighborhood.

Typical Oklahoma City ranch homes
Like many Oklahoma City suburbs, the 1950s brick ranch-style homes in Pennington are evenly spaced along wide, gently curved residential streets, often with backyards enclosed by tall wooden privacy fences. Many houses retain their midcentury character on the exterior paired with interior renovations to match. “We see a lot of remodeling where they add midcentury modern fixtures inside the homes,” Adeyemi says. “It makes them look really cool and just gives them a real contemporary flair.” Homes generally sell between the mid-$100,000s and mid-$200,000s.
