A ribbon of Route 169 runs through Owasso, weaving the 10-mile path to Tulsa International Airport. The city takes its name from an Osage word meaning “end of the trail,” and many homebuyers find that their roads have indeed been leading to northern Tulsa’s largest suburb. “It’s a really good family-oriented city,” says Heather Johnson, broker associate and Realtor with Chinowth & Cohen. “We’re not that big, we’re not that small, we’re really close to everything.” A bevy of indoor and outdoor recreational opportunities, a top-notch school system and easy access to highways distinguish this slice of Oklahoma.
Owasso is located about 10 miles south of Tulsa.
Owasso displays a heartwarming tribute to children at play.

Cast a line at Centennial Park
A trio of fishing ponds invites anglers to cast off at Centennial Park, which spans 47 acres in the eastern segment of town. Hikers and joggers tackle the three-mile pedestrian trail while disc golfers compete on the 18-hole course. The best time to visit the ducks and geese at Elm Creek Park is at sunset, when the surrounding sky paints the pond in shades of peach and violet. Funtastic Island at Veterans Park is a spiffy kid-centric adventure featuring a creative playground and splash pad. Paw parents appreciate the 3 acres of fenced-in space at Waggin’ Trail Dog Park, where fur babies can tear around and frolic with their buddies. For indoor weekend fun and birthday celebrations, AIRTOPIA Adventure Park and the roller rink at Wheels and Thrills offer hours of entertainment.
Centennial Park is a timeless Owasso treasure.

Owasso’s educational centers
Owasso has a number of highly ranked schools, but most students who live in the central portion of town start out at Hayward Smith Elementary. Administrators keep class sizes small to promote one-on-one learning, and Niche gives the school an A-minus. The Owasso 6th and 7th Grade Centers are both in the neighborhood and receive A grades from Niche. Students then move on to the 8th Grade Center, which gets a B-plus, and Owasso High School, which gets an A. The high school’s concert bands have participated in numerous festivals across the country, and the Owasso Rams football team is a local institution. “They televise the high school football games here,” Johnson says.

Shopping at Smith Farm MarketPlace
Shopping centers packed with big-box retailers and established chain restaurants anchor the landscape around Route 169. This is where residents can pick up groceries at Owasso Market, Aldi or Reasor’s after indulging in retail therapy at Smith Farm MarketPlace. Those who prefer to shop locally can find gifts and apparel at Rust & Ruffles boutique or tongue-tingling hot sauces at Fire ‘N The Hole. Hungry patrons flock to MAD Eats for unique offerings such as brunch “pacos” and Fruit Pebbles cheesecake. And at SMOKE Woodfire Grill on South Main Street, locals come for the Butcher Block special and stay to smoke premium cigars in the hermetically sealed lounge.

From single-story starter homes to modern Colonial-inspired builds
No two houses are exactly alike in Owasso. Buyers can choose between modest single-story homes from the 1980s or contemporary Craftsman-style builds on oversized lots. “There’s been lots of new development,” Johnson says. “I’ve been in Owasso since 2003, and there have been so many new neighborhoods added — and they’re continuing to add.” Prices start at around $175,000 for a starter home or fixer-upper and climb to the $600,000 range for a newly constructed 4-bedroom house. Some of the larger homes go for over $1 million, especially if the property includes several acres of land. The residential streets closest to downtown are accented with paved sidewalks that make the neighborhood walkable. Houses on the east side of the highway have better access to area parks.

October’s Owasso Harvest Festival
The Owasso Harvest Festival brings a carnival atmosphere to Redbud Festival Park in October. During the one-day celebration, throngs of midway rides, inflatables and food vendors enliven the space to the tune of live music. There are face-painting stations and a petting zoo to amuse the kids, and leashed dogs are welcome. Redbud also hosts the seasonal farmer’s market, outdoor concerts and Lights On Owasso, the annual holiday tree-lighting ceremony. And rodeo fans can celebrate the western lifestyle at Owasso Round-Up Club, which is west of the downtown area near the dog park.
Route 169 to Tulsa
Owasso is just 15 minutes from Tulsa International Airport and 20 minutes from downtown Tulsa, which increases its appeal for commuters. Route 169 travels through the heart of town and connecting to Interstates 44 and 244 is a snap. There’s no public bus system in place, but Pelivan Transit offers demand-response service to the public during the work week.
The Timmy & Cindy Project
The Timmy & Cindy Project is an art initiative that brings a touch of style and whimsy to Owasso’s public spaces. The concept is simple: Bronze statues of a young girl and boy appear in strategic spots throughout the community. Residents can spot the pair exchanging grins on a bench outside the Owasso Historical Museum, tilting on a seesaw at Elm Creek Park, posing beneath an umbrella outside Fire Station #1 and cooperating to reach a water pump handle on East 76th Street.

Carved into a bluff in the historic nature preserve of Oxley Ranch, the Stone Canyon community stands solid as the surrounding rock. The master-planned community presides over an area midway between Owasso and Catoosa, two of Tulsa’s northeastern suburbs. “It’s a lifestyle that we’re selling,” says Amy Whitmarsh, CLHMS and broker/owner with RE/MAX Results. “It’s a great upscale neighborhood with wonderful amenities, lots of nature, trees, fishing in the lake, the golf course.” From the sparkling lake to the scenic golf course to the luxury clubhouses, there’s already plenty to enjoy, but Stone Canyon is still evolving. “When it’s fully developed, it’s going to have over 2,000 homes,” Whitmarsh says. “The plan for the future is to have a gated 55-plus community here, too. That’s on the docket next.”
Spanning 3,000 acres, Stone Canyon’s residential area comprises a growing roster of neighborhoods, including Deer Run, Tanglewood, Twin Creeks and The Coves. Some subdivisions, such as The Bluffs I, are gated. The neighborhood appeals to a spectrum of buyers, from young families to retirees. “We keep a very stable market here,” says Whitmarsh, an eight-year resident of Stone Canyon. Most homes were built within the last 15 years and feature Tudor-inspired touches, with dormer windows peeking out from gabled roofs and stone accents lending a country-cottage vibe. Many homes offer more than 3,000 square feet of living space. Lot sizes are just as generous, measuring about an acre on average. Driveways feature brick-and-stone bridgework and enough space to park several vehicles. Attached garages and private in-ground swimming pools are other popular features. Modest three- and four-bedroom homes within the subdivisions cost $500,000 to $800,000. A luxury five-bedroom, eight-bath Gothic Revival mansion with two in-ground pools might sell for $4 to $6 million.
With 19 holes that showcase the surrounding limestone canyons, upland prairies, marshland and woodlands, the Patriot Golf Club is the centerpiece of Stone Canyon. Each hole at the Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed course is named for an American patriot. The stunning clubhouse boasts superb views, a fire pit and a large open-air deck, while the pool’s splash pad and corkscrew waterslide entice families on the hottest days. Residents who don’t belong to the golf club can enjoy the neighborhood pool and clubhouse, lace up for the Stone Creek Trail, roam the 20-acre park or cast a fishing line from the pier on Patriot Lake. The 100-acre man-made lake is stocked with bluegill, catfish, bass and crappie, ideal for catch and release. Nearby, Centennial Park features a walking trail encircling another scenic pond. Mohawk Park, home of the Tulsa Zoo, is about 12 miles away.
Neighborhood students attend a progression of highly rated schools. Stone Canyon Elementary School gets an A-minus from Niche and boasts a convenient location near Patriot Lake and Stone Creek Trail. Kids in the northern subdivisions can follow the trail to get to school, but most will likely need to take the bus or rely on their parents to give them a ride. They’ll funnel into Owasso’s middle school centers next, then it’s on to Owasso High School, where administrators partner with local businesses to offer student internships. Apart from B-plus-rated Owasso 8th Grade Center, all these schools have a Niche grade of A.
Members of the Patriot Golf Club enjoy access to exclusive seasonal events such as the Halloween Bash and Santa Brunch. On the Fourth of July, the club hosts Party Like a Patriot. The festivities bring a carnival-like atmosphere, with burgers sizzling on the grill, face-painting, balloon animals and live music. In the evening, the celebration culminates in a fireworks display. Proceeds benefit Folds of Honor, an organization that provides scholarships to families of disabled or fallen military members. Residents searching for nightlife can head down the bluff to Catoosa, 7 miles away, where the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa turns things up full blast.
Stone Canyon is considered part of Owasso, Tulsa’s largest northern suburb. Geographically speaking, however, the community is a bit closer to another suburb: the port city of Catoosa on the Verdigris River. Owasso’s downtown Redbud District is about 7 miles away, while Catoosa is within 6 miles. “We live outside the township of Owasso, but we are Owasso proper,” Whitmarsh says. “We live on a bluff, so the port of Catoosa is right below us, and the whole city thrives around that port.” The closest major highway is the Mingo Valley Expressway, which leads to downtown Tulsa, about 20 miles southwest. Travelers can also use the expressway to access Tulsa International Airport, about 15 miles away.
With Owasso and Catoosa just minutes away by car, dining and retail options abound. Puerto del Sol Mexican Grill serves tamales, enchiladas and carne asada washed down with margaritas and Micheladas. In the other direction, pulled pork and loaded smoked potatoes at 96th BBQ entice diners who don’t want to venture too far into Owasso. From there, it’s a short drive to Owasso Market for groceries. There’s also a Reasor’s supermarket off the Old Highway 66 in Catoosa.
