A new day in Acre Gardens
Bird or plane, looking down and seeing the historic Aviator’s Arrow is a reminder that Tulsa is that way. Made from tons of crushed marble, the giant landmark points to a growing city. Expansion grew south during mid-20th century development, but modern efforts are headed in the other direction. A few blocks from the Aviator’s Arrow, the North Tulsa neighborhood of Acre Gardens honors its roots while focusing on the future. “We’re really excited about the development over there,” says Kristen Simon, Realtor with Chinowth & Cohen. “Anywhere in North Tulsa is great to purchase right now because commerce is headed that way.” Crawford Park and Lacy Park Community Center form the neighborhood’s nucleus in terms of their locations and the recreational opportunities they offer.

Mid-20th century bungalows
On the residential streets, single-story cottages, shotgun-style houses and bungalows huddle together on lots measuring under a quarter acre. Most date to the mid-20th century, and some properties feature garages and fenced yards. One tiny bungalow on East Young Street is the former home of Pretty Boy Floyd, the notorious American bank robber. Many of these homes could use rebuffing and restoration, making for exciting investment opportunities. “We have grant money going in that direction toward first-time homebuyers,” Simon says. “A lot of people are actually investing to flip, and then that creates new homebuyers.” Fixer-uppers start at $85,0000, while renovated 3-bedroom cottages sell for up to $285,000.

Crime
The CAP Index gives Acre Gardens a crime score of 7, higher than the national average. That’s not uncommon for urban areas; this neighborhood is close enough to the city center to adhere to the trend. Economic instability can also contribute to high crime rates, and the median household income in this neighborhood is less than half the national average at $29,000 per year. The Tulsa Police Department has a dedicated Public Safety Analysis Unit (PSAU) in place to study data and identify trends so they might create a comprehensive crime prevention strategy for the city.
