Crossroads of old and new Route 66

There are places along the fabled Route 66 where the highway’s original route meets its updated course, melding stories of the past with the promise of the future. One such spot can be found in Crescent Heights, a Tulsa neighborhood southeast of downtown. Curious tourists converge around the plaques and pedestals at the Route 66 Interpretive Plaza to read about the history of the highway and its bygone landmarks. Just as the realignment of Route 66 bridges the past and the future, the neighborhood’s placement blends city convenience with suburban appeal. “We call it country living in the city,” says Chuck Breckenridge, Realtor with Keller Williams Advantage and a long-time resident. “Virtually every house in the neighborhood has a half-acre or acre-sized lot, so you have a feeling of seclusion.” That’s a perk in any neighborhood and almost unheard of within Tulsa’s city limits.

Brick ranch-style homes with generous lawns

Brick ranch-style houses dating to the 1960s are typical in this part of Tulsa, but generous lot sizes set apart the homes in Crescent Heights. A half-acre to an acre provides enough space to host outdoor gatherings, put up a playset or plant a garden. Stout rows of mature trees lend shade and privacy to front and back lawns. Some properties include attached garages, and most have plenty of driveway space. There aren’t many sidewalks, so pedestrians should be prepared to navigate traffic. Prices start at $200,000 and cap off around $300,000, depending on square footage and lot size.

The trip downtown takes about 40 minutes via the MetroLink Tulsa bus system, which has a few stations and stops along Route 66. Tulsa International Airport is about 4 miles away.

Hitch a ride to Freddie’s Hamburgers

The ride along Route 66 reveals a trove of dining options, with many showcasing the neighborhood's Hispanic influence. El Gallo Loco, a casual Mexican joint, is tucked within a small shopping center near the disc golf course. More Tex-Mex favorites are available at El Chico on the other end of the neighborhood. The closest grocery option is Las Americas on South Garnett Road, about 1 mile away. Freddie’s Hamburgers is a classic roadside stop with cherry-colored vinyl stools alongside a Formica counter. Juicy burgers topped with squares of golden cheese arrive on red-and-white checkered paper. On the way home, motorists can stop by the disco-themed car wash to shine up their rides.
