Reservoir Hill overlooks the Melrose neighborhood in Tulsa.
Tulsa without the drama
Sharing the same name as the 90s soap opera following the stories of people living in a fictional West Hollywood apartment complex, Tulsa’s Melrose Place neighborhood has gone through peaks and valleys but is typically quieter in nature. The neighborhood has a collection of midcentury homes newer residents are taking care to restore, with some new construction sprinkled in. Anchored by John Starks Park and within walking distance of the Tulsa Arts District, Melrose Place makes up for its lack of soap opera drama with a steady array of neighborhood amenities that are assets to Tulsa’s north side. “That’s an area that is just north of downtown, almost even walkable to downtown,” says Elizabeth Beaubien, Realtor with Keller Williams Advantage. Walkability and access makes Melrose Place a desirable location for some.…”It’s seen quite a bit of revitalization and renovation.”
