North Ridge is investing in the future
In the northern reaches of Tulsa, nearly 10 miles from the heart of the city, the North Ridge neighborhood sets its sights on a lofty future. While this part of Tulsa is historically downtrodden, a turnaround is afoot. In 2024, a husband-and-wife team purchased the North Ridge Shopping Center to create a dedicated space for Black entrepreneurs. “When we had to redraw our boundaries in this last 10-year census, you saw a significant increase in population in East Tulsa, which is where the investment takes place,” says Vanessa Hall-Harper, city councilor for Tulsa’s District 1, where North Ridge is located. “So if we want to fairly distribute, it’s time to come back and make similar investments in other parts of the city that are not primarily white-populated.” Home prices remain wallet-friendly, and most students will attend middle and high schools right in the neighborhood. North Ridge is also a few blocks from the Tulsa Dream Center, a community resource devoted to breaking the cycle of poverty.

Visions of the future at Tulsa Dream Center
Berry Park enlivens the center of the neighborhood with a colorful playground, shaded picnic pavilions, tennis and basketball courts, an exercise trail and a public swimming pool. Less than two miles away, the Tulsa Dream Center provides recreational and educational opportunities for area youth, in addition to promoting food security and healthcare access. “The Tulsa Dream Center is a wonderful partner in the community that touches a lot of lives,” Hall-Harper says. “They have a food pantry, and they offer activities for youth during summertime and after school. Just last summer, they raised money for a swimming pool.” As a result, the Center’s summer camps and after-school programs now include swimming lessons. The organization also hosts community events throughout the year. While the roster varies, examples include spring and fall carnivals, toy drives around Christmas and a “Friendsgiving” celebration featuring a hot lunch and grocery giveaway.
