Why Live in Crutchfield
Crutchfield, one of Tulsa's oldest neighborhoods, is undergoing a revitalization project aimed at enhancing its appeal beyond its pop culture fame. Located just 2 miles northeast of downtown Tulsa, Crutchfield is known for its early 1900s bungalows, often featuring spacious, fenced-in backyards and occasionally garages or storm shelters. The neighborhood is home to "The Outsiders" House Museum, a significant cultural attraction where visitors can explore memorabilia from the iconic film and novel. Crutchfield Park, a short walk from the museum, offers a safe play area with a playset, basketball court, and picnic pavilion, and is notable for its connection to scenes from "The Outsiders."
Dining options in Crutchfield include El Rio Verde, renowned for its Mexican cuisine, particularly the Wet Burrito, and Retro Grill & Bar, which offers American fare and live music. For groceries, residents travel a few miles to Supermercados Morelos or Reasor’s. While Crutchfield lacks schools within its boundaries, students attend nearby Springdale Elementary, Monroe Middle, and McLain High schools. The neighborhood's proximity to downtown and the Cherry Street area, along with its ongoing improvements, make it a practical choice for those seeking a community-focused environment with historical significance and convenient attractions.
