Rural living in serene Tryon, surrounded by nature and larger cities
Before Tryon became a Lincoln County town, it was home to Native Americans and later Fred S. Tryon, who had a homestead in the area. The small town was established in 1893, and its population peaked in 1990. Today, the rural area is known as a calm place south of Stillwater, where less than 400 residents live on quiet streets, have access to well-rated schools and take Highway 177 to Stillwater. “Stillwater is really growing, so people may move out to Tryon for cheaper living outside of Stillwater and still get good schools,” says Carl Martin, associate broker and Realtor at Premier Realty LLC, specializing in Lincoln County real estate. “There’s a good combination of ranches and farmland, and there’s a lot of small acreage. I knew a farmer there who let me hunt on his land. It’s real pretty country.”
Homes with large lots and lower prices
Brick ranch-style homes and bungalows here were primarily built around the 1950s to 1970s. What homes lack in more modern amenities, they make up for with expansive lots. With plenty of land also comes wildlife sightings. “I was just up there to look at a house on 25 acres, and there were turkeys walking around,” Martin says. Two- to three-bedroom homes have estimated prices that range from about $80,000 to $280,000. Homes farther from central Tryon tend to have higher estimated prices for their larger lots, from $160,000 to $480,000. Properties in central Tryon have access to city water and sewer systems, but those on the outskirts usually run on well water and septic tanks.
Busing to Perkins-Tryon schools
Tryon had its own schools until it lost state accreditation in the 1970s. The Tryon and nearby Perkins school districts later merged, creating the Perkins-Tryon School District, rated B-plus by Niche. The schools are 12 miles from Tryon, so kids might have lengthy bus rides. Perkins-Tryon Elementary School gets an A and offers prekindergarten through second grade. Third through fifth graders learn at Perkins-Tryon Intermediate School, which receives a B-plus. The B-rated Perkins-Tryon Middle School feeds into Perkins-Tryon High School, which also has a B rating. One of the student groups at PTHS is the Native American Student Association, and the group is hosting its first annual powwow to bring members of different tribes together and celebrate Native American traditions.
Highway 177 leads to major cities
Because Tryon is rural, residents have to drive to surrounding areas for shopping, dining and recreation. “Stillwater is 20 minutes away, and so is Cushing,” Martin says. “You can run straight down 177 and go to Oklahoma City or Tulsa.” When it comes to health care, residents can visit the Dorothy M. Smith Family Medical Clinic in Carney or Perkins Primary Care in Perkins. The nearest hospital and emergency room is the Hillcrest Hospital in Cushing, which is 20 miles from Tryon or a roughly 25-minute drive. As with many small towns, churches here double as social spaces to gather with friends and neighbors. There are four churches in Tryon, including the Christian Union Church.
Nearby Perkins has shopping and dining
The area has a convenience store and tire shop, so anyone who wants to dine out or shop will take a trip to Perkins, about 12 miles north or a 15-minute drive. Williams Foods is the nearest grocery store. If residents need something quick, they might shop at the Dollar General in nearby Agra or Carney. El Mexicano in Perkins is a popular lunch and dinner spot that serves authentic dishes. Nearby Nancy’s on Main specializes in hand-crafted pizzas and homemade desserts.
Small parks and hanging out at Tryon Public Library
Tiger Park features a grassy baseball field and some playground equipment, but residents can also drive to the Woody Wilson Memorial Park in Carney to use its full playground, basketball court or walking trail. The Tryon Public Library is temporarily located in a small building on North First Street, as the Town of Tryon is planning to build a brand-new town hall, which will have a wing dedicated as a new library. Even in the small setting, the library holds events for the community, like movie nights and an Easter egg hunt.
Emergency preparedness and weather patterns
The Tryon Fire Department responds to emergencies throughout the area, and the town has a contract with the Iowa Tribe Police Department. The police station is about 8 miles northeast of Tryon. The area’s CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4. Like the rest of Oklahoma, Tryon is no stranger to severe weather, particularly tornadoes during the spring. Tryon has four tornado sirens to warn residents who might be outside during severe weather to take shelter. Most residents rely on weather alerts sent by radio, TV and phones. Summer temperatures can reach triple digits, and the area sees 10 inches of snow on average.
