Midcentury character in a neighborhood on the rise

South Park Estates’ small homes and residential character reflect many of the Northeast Oklahoma City neighborhoods built in the mid-20th century. While the area has gone through several phases, including a few years without much upkeep, it’s now on the upswing, partly due to Oklahoma City's continued investment in the nearby Adventure District. Home prices in the community have risen 9% over the last 12 months, and some homes now feature redone interiors. “It’s definitely a neighborhood on the rise,” says Shannon Stiger-Monahan, the lead listing specialist at Buckelew Realty Group. “But it’s a quite a bit of long-term housing and rentals, so there’s not a lot of churn.”

South Park Estates shares a cozy, residential vibe with NE Oklahoma City areas.

South Park Estate’s solid brick builds

Most homes in South Park Estates were built between the late 1940s and ’50s, with many maintaining their midcentury aesthetic. “If I was going to buy a house, they’re the type of houses I would buy because they’ll outlast any new house now,” Stiger-Monahan says. “They’re smaller, but they’re just good solid homes.” Some have updated interiors, while others may need more work. These traditional-style homes can sell for $80,000 to the mid-$200,000s based on renovation status. Meanwhile, more uncommon builds line Kelley Avenue on the west end of the neighborhood. These larger homes can sell anywhere from the mid-$200,000s to $500,000. A senior-living apartment complex also sits off Kelley Avenue.

Recreation at Lincoln Park

South Park Estates is home to a pair of parks. On the west side, L.D. Lacy Park offers plenty of green space and a nature reclamation zone. However, the more popular E.W. Perry Park features a playground and picnic pavilion as well as a short walking path. Residents often head directly east of the neighborhood to Lincoln Park, which has a longer walking path as well as exercise equipment and basketball and tennis courts. Next to the park, the Lincoln Park Golf Course is a public club with two 18-hole courses.
