Tulsa Among Most Livable Cities
9 Apr
Tulsa is near the top of the list on Forbes.com recent list of “America’s Most Livable Cities”. In fact, they rated our city #5, right before Oklahoma City, based on metropolitan area statistics. While it may not have accounted for natural beauty or architecture it appears the study was very formulaic when comparing metro regions on five-year income growth per household and cost of living from Moody’s Economy.com, crime data and leisure index from Sperling’s Best Places, and annual unemployment statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Get ready for a huge tourism boom. My bet is people will be flocking here once they see this!

ahhhh…if only it were so easy!!!
Hi Cole, My wife and I are moving to Tulsa from Atlanta in a few months, and I’ve been enjoying your blog for the last couple of months (as I mentally prepare for the move). When we first visited Tulsa we were amazed and surprised at some the great examples of architecture that exists in the city. Now, with your latest post, it just seems all the more reason to move to Tulsa. Thanks for a great blog!

wonderful news….something us Tulsa people have known for a while.
That’s cool! My husband and I live/work in Muskogee, but we do everything else in Tulsa. We’d like to move to Tulsa someday – hopefully buy a house in the Lortondale neigborhood
It’s great to hear that Tulsa is finally getting the recognition we always new it deserved!
