Southside amenities abound
In southeastern Oklahoma City, Shields-Davis is a quintessential mid-20th-century suburb. The quiet, grid-patterned residential streets are lined with modest Minimal Traditional cottages and ranch-style bungalows, many with tall cedar privacy fences enclosing spacious backyards and carports shading single-car garages. Two public parks, two interstates and myriad shopping and dining options surround the neighborhood, all within a 2-mile radius. “The area was built around the 1950s and 1960s. It was set up back then for the traditional homeowner, as a place for their family to grow,” says Realtor Samantha Marin, with Heather & Company Realty Group, who has worked with clients buying and selling homes in the city since 2022. “It’s starting to resurface as that kind of neighborhood again. It’s heavy with investors coming in and renovating homes with that in mind,” she says, adding that she predicts prices to rise soon. “It’s close to a lot of growth in Oklahoma City, so it’ll be pretty aggressively priced here in the next few years,” she says.
Competitively priced midcentury charmers
The midcentury homes here run anywhere from $30,000 for three-bedroom, one-bathroom cottages with minimal updates to around $200,000 for three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch-style homes with modern finishes. One of Marin’s recent listings in the neighborhood, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom Minimal Traditional-style home, sold for $55,000 almost immediately after it went on the market. “It sold in less than 24 hours in a multiple-offer situation. It was intense,” she says, adding that the buyer intends to remodel it. “We’re seeing situations like that more and more often,” she says, citing low inventory and high demand as possible reasons for the rapidly heating market. “There are a lot of buyers sitting and waiting, especially those looking for homes in this range, where it’s under a hundred thousand dollars and in habitable, move-in condition. There’s a lot of competition for those homes.” She adds that affordability is a large part of the neighborhood’s appeal. “Affordability is the biggest reason to move to Oklahoma City, and the OKC metro in general,” she says.
Big box stores and local dining galore
The Interstate 240 shopping corridor is just a mile and a half south of home. On either side of the highway, between South Pennsylvania Avenue and Interstate 35, there’s everything from Home Depot, Harbor Freight Tools and Lowe’s to Academy Sports and Walmart Supercenter. Even closer to the neighborhood, though, there’s Supermercados Morelos. “They do really good cafeteria-style Mexican food,” says Marin of the local grocery store, which also features a meat market and bakery. Next door, there’s also a Dollar General. And less than a mile west down Southeast 59th Street, La Michoacana Supermarket offers grocery staples, too. Southeast 59th is home to a ton of local eateries as well, from casual diners like Sherri’s and Del Rancho to seafood places like El Bucanero and taco joints like El Ray Taqueria.
Hathaway and McCracken Parks
Next to Cesar Chavez Elementary, Hathaway Park offers a baseball backstop, complete with bleachers for spectators, plus a classic playground and sunny fields dotted with little trees. There’s a paved, multiuse trail winding through the park, too, lined with benches and picnic tables. At McCracken Park, a seasonal splash pad overlooks fully fenced tennis courts, while a paved trail meanders through hilly fields around another classic playground. Both parks are less than 2 miles from home: Hathaway to the north and McCracken to the south.
Oklahoma City Public Schools
Neighborhood kids are served by schools in the Oklahoma City Public Schools (OKCPS) system. Many go to Cesar Chavez Elementary, which earns a C-minus grade from Niche. Older students go to Wheeler Middle, which earns a D-plus, and continue to Capitol Hill High, which earns a C-minus. The current Capitol Hill High is a late-1920s-era Gothic Revival-style building, but there are plans underway to construct a new building on a sprawling 65-acre campus. Officials are in the design stage right now. The Southside OKC community is rallying to save the original high school building from demolition; the “Save the Hill” Facebook page has more than a thousand active members, who focus on attending OKCPS Board meetings to support preserving the historic facility.
Southside OKC convenience
EMBARK bus stops are close at hand, lining main thoroughfares in and around the neighborhood. Most homes are less than half a mile from at least one stop. Interstates 35 and 240 are nearby, too; both within a mile and a half of the neighborhood. The 4.4-mile drive north to downtown takes about 11 minutes, via I-35, depending on traffic. Will Rogers World Airport is about 9 miles west.
