The Garden District sits just North of 21st St in Tulsa.
100-year-old charm
In the heart of Tulsa’s midtown, the historic Garden District dates back to the late teens and ’20s of the previous century, when oil magnates built their estates and gardens in this iconic neighborhood. “The area is graced by 100-year-old trees and winding streets that follow the organic flow of the land,” says Realtor and midtown resident Greg Saunders with McGraw Realtors. Saunders has lived in the Garden District for over 20 years and is only the third owner of his home, which was built in 1929. With walkable schools, parks and museums, residents can get around by walking or biking, adding to the neighborhood’s old-world charm.
Restored and preserved
The Garden District features some of the city's most striking examples of colonial, English Tudor, Spanish revival and contemporary architecture. Most historic homes have been restored and preserved with attention to original details, such as stone exteriors, arched doorways, built-in bookcases and rich hardwoods. Newer homes built after 2000 blend with other properties and include innovations like outdoor kitchens, spas and fireplaces. Homebuyers can expect to pay between $400,000 for a newer contemporary and $1.8 million for a large estate with over a half-acre of land. Though these homes are above the average price of most Tulsa homes, buyers are drawn to the Garden District for other reasons. “Everyone who lives here has decided it’s worth the price,” Saunders says. “It’s peaceful and serene here — less hectic. And there’s a strong sense of community, a slice of Mayberry. It’s hard to find a community like this in a large metro area.”
