Small yet bustling community

When driving along the Gilcrease Expressway towards the Arkansas River or taking the Sand Springs Expressway into the city, people may not realize they are passing the 378 houses that comprise the Bruner community. While living near two expressways does not exude serenity, residents appreciate the access they provide, whether they are driving to work and entertainment in Tulsa’s downtown or to community engagements at Northwest Tulsa Hub. Bruner Hill contributes to the area’s park system and provides a glimpse into the community’s history. Part of the land once belonged to William “Billy” G. Bruner, who served as “Town King” for 18 years within the tribal office. A plaque stands in his honor to tell the story of where the town gets its name.

Taking the road to Tulsa

Locals have a direct line to Tulsa’s downtown for events and city parks with the Sand Springs Expressway. Meanwhile, Gilcrease Expressway can take them north to the Tulsa Botanic Gardens or south over the Arkansas River. “The one thing about Tulsa is the way the freeways and turnpikes are set up you can basically be from one end of Tulsa, downtown, and way out into Catoosa in 17 to 20 minutes, as long as there are no wrecks,” says Patricia Love-Renton with McGraw Realtors, who has been in the real estate industry for over 25 years. This arrangement makes traveling to the Tulsa International Airport convenient for long-distance trips.

Gatherings at Guthrie Green

In Bruner, locals are close to all the big city events and attractions; many of these displays are free to the public. “We have the Garden Center at Woodward Park where people come from all over to have their picture taken with all the azaleas,” Love-Renton says. “At Guthrie Green, they have free ballet concerts, the orchestra has free concerts, and we have an awesome fireworks display.” From these community events in the city to the neighborhood parks and community center, Bruner residents have easy access to all Tulsa has to offer.
