Quiet town on the outskirts of Tulsa
Twenty miles northeast of Tulsa, Verdigris is a rural town with limited amenities that's known for its well-rated schools and commuter access. "It's a sought-after town because of the small school system," says Ronica Warden, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty with more than 26 years of experience. "It's all on [U.S. Route 66] and easy access to pretty much anything." Many residents work in Tulsa, and there's shopping, dining and entertainment 7 miles away in Claremore. The overall CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. "If you don't want the hustle and bustle of a busy city like Tulsa, Verdigris is definitely an option," Warden says.
The city of Verdigris was established in 1880, incorporated in 1980.
Verdigris sits along Historic Route 66 between Catoosa and Claremore.

Ranch-style homes on spacious lots and new housing developments
On the outskirts of town, late 20th-century ranch-style homes are set along wide roads without sidewalks. These homes are generally under 2,000 square feet with attached garages, covered patios or porches and spacious lots dotted with mature trees. "You'll find some homes on an acre and some with larger lots," Warden says. Their prices range from about $150,000 to $425,000, depending on a home's size and features.
Over the past 20 years, new home developments have been built off U.S. Route 66, with houses set close together along sidewalk-lined streets. "In the neighborhood of The Vintage, they have walking trails and a pond," Warden says. Depending on the subdivision, these homes are typically contemporary ranch-style or Gothic-inspired with details like steeply pitched roofs and half-timbering; many are larger than Verdigris' older homes, though lot sizes are smaller. Common features of these 21st-century homes include covered entryways, multi-car garages and the occasional private pool. Prices range from about $200,000 to $500,000.
The neighborhoods of Verdigris are full character and variety in housing styles.
