Affordable vintage homes near the heart of Oklahoma City

The perks of Pennville's location are three-fold: proximity to quality schools, a trendy shopping area and the city center. This quiet residential neighborhood is located in the northwest quadrant of Oklahoma City. "By being in the northwest quadrant you're close to everything," says Jim Miller, a Realtor with Keller Williams Elite. "You can get to any part of the metro area within 20 minutes. A lot of the really cool urban development has happened close to that area." Having been revitalized in recent years, the neighborhood contains updated yet affordable vintage homes. "With the renovations and proximity to the development in OKC's urban core, it's a real up-and-coming area," says Rebecca Avey, a Sales Associate with Sage Sotheby's International Realty.

Twenties-era bungalows and Tudor homes.

Pennville is made up of neat square blocks with single-family homes. The neighborhood has many '20s-era bungalows and brick Tudor-style homes with arched entryways and pitched roofs. Many of these homes have two and three bedrooms with interiors ranging from around 1,100 to 2,500 square feet. Homes are on the market for between $150,000 and $400,000, depending on size and condition. "In that area, there are a lot of smaller, historic homes, so it could be a more financially accessible area in the urban core for a first-time buyer," Avey says. Many homes have narrow driveways and generous front yards large enough for a garden.

In Pennville, the historic character of each home adds to the charm of the neighborhood.

Walking distance to the Plaza District

Locals have convenient shopping and dining options within walking distance. Just a mile from Pennville's center is the Plaza District, one of the hottest spots in the city with restaurants, boutiques, vintage shops and entertainment options along Northwest 16th Street. "It's a launching pad for some of the coolest restaurants in Oklahoma City," Miller says. At Aurora, locals grab a breakfast of biscuits and gravy and French toast. Locals flock to the area for unique bars such as Up-Down OKC, where the beer and fun flows with arcade games like skee-ball.

For the bare essentials, they can make a trip to S&S Grocery on 16th Street, a local convenience store selling cold beer and other items. A handful of shops and restaurants border the neighborhood to the north along Northwest 23rd Street, including Pupuseria Mi Chalateca, serving Salvadoran staples such as cheesy pupusas.
