But with over 400,000 people calling it home, this little city is the second most populous one in Oklahoma <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newson6.com\/story\/64128c023074f60950e19ee0\/boomtown:-more-people-are-moving-to-the-tulsa-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and growing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Tulsa? Located along the Arkansas River, the city is found in Oklahoma\u2019s northeastern \u201cGreen Country,\u201d a region named for its beautiful landscapes, lakes and the nearby mountains. Folks find the affordability appealing, too, with Oklahoma being a tax-friendly state for retirees, and economic initiatives like Tulsa Remote making T-Town an attractive option for young professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep reading to get a taste of what you need to know before moving to Tulsa.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong><a href=\"#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"a-distinct-blend-of-culture-art-and-charm\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Blend-of-Culture-Art-and-Charm\"><strong>A Distinct Blend of Culture, Art and Charm<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Known for its beautiful art deco architecture and 28 miles that stretch along the famous Route 66, Tulsa has a unique variety of history and modern things to do. Once all about big oil, the city has been coming into its own as a cosmopolitan with the attractions and amenities of bigger cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tulsa Arts District has seen buildings revitalized and repurposed in recent years. It&#8217;s now full of bars, restaurants, venues for events and museums. The city has also embraced its diverse community through public art. Colorful murals can be found throughout downtown and in various neighborhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For music and other performing arts, the Brady Arts District houses plenty of great venues like the Woody Guthrie Center, the Jazz Depot and Cain&#8217;s Ballroom, while the Tulsa Performing Arts Center brings Broadway shows, ballet, symphony concerts and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the year there are plenty of opportunities to get to know your neighbors at festivals and events like the Blue Dome Arts Festival, Linde Oktoberfest Tulsa, the Tulsa International Film Festival and the classic Tulsa State Fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/praying-hands-oral-roberts.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"351\" src=\"http:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/praying-hands-oral-roberts.jpg\" alt=\"Pray Hands sculpture\" class=\"wp-image-441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.selfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/praying-hands-oral-roberts.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.selfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/praying-hands-oral-roberts-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tulsa\u2019s Oral Roberts University is home to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tulsaworld.com\/dailybreak\/praying-hands-at-oru-listed-as-oklahoma-s-coolest-thing\/article_43014e58-42aa-50c3-a1bc-4ae9cfcb58a6.html\">world\u2019s largest praying hands<\/a> \u2014 a 30-ton sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong><a href=\"#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"work-remote-get-paid-when-moving-to-tulsa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Economy-and-job-outlook\"><strong>Work Remote? Get Paid When Moving to Tulsa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the city once known as the \u201cOil Capital of the World,\u201d it\u2019s no surprise that the oil industry is still a major player in Tulsa. As we look ahead to cleaner energy, Tulsa has been promoting other target industries with growth in advanced manufacturing, aerospace and defense, transportation and tech.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest draw for digital nomads, though, may be that the city has been making efforts to infuse its economy with new life through remote workers looking to relocate. The <a href=\"https:\/\/tulsaremote.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tulsa Remote program<\/a> pays $10,000 to folks moving to Tulsa with an existing remote role. The hope is that these new residents bring big paychecks that help boost the economy, and in return the program promotes a strong community. It\u2019s a great deal for young professionals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for something local, top employers include BOK Financial, the American Airlines maintenance base and local healthcare systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the unemployment rate increased slightly toward the end of 2023, it remained relatively low at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/eag\/eag.ok_tulsa_msa.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3.4 percent<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong><a href=\"#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"tulsa-boasts-a-low-cost-of-living\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Tulsa-cost-of-living\"><strong>Tulsa Boasts a Low Cost of Living<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been looking to buy a home, moving to Tulsa is a good start. Although the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/cost-of-living-calculator\/us\/ok\/tulsa\/\">cost of living in Tulsa<\/a> is 3 percent higher than the Oklahoma state average, it\u2019s a healthy 11 percent lower when you look at national numbers. And the cost of housing? A whopping 22 percent lower than the national average! Utilities, healthcare, transportation and food are all lower, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of the U.S. has seen housing markets remain steady or go up, but Tulsa has seen a slight decrease in home sale prices. In October 2023, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/35765\/OK\/Tulsa\/housing-market\">median sale price<\/a> was down nearly 4 percent at $231,000. Homes are also staying on the market longer and are more likely to see a price drop. Despite this, the Tulsa market is considered highly competitive due to its affordability, so if you find your dream home, make an offer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As expected, rents in Tulsa are also on the lower side. The median rent for a one-bedroom apartment is just $895, and the median for a two-bedroom only $1,155, with little month-to-month changes in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/5-states-lowest-cost-living\/\">This amazing cost of living<\/a> does come with a price, of course: the median household income in Tulsa falls well below the national average at just $52,438. A much higher percentage of its citizens also live in poverty than national numbers. It\u2019s no wonder the city has sought to boost its economy through initiatives such as the Tulsa Remote program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong><a href=\"#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"a-changing-city-full-of-distinct-neighborhoods\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Tulsa-Neighborhoods\"><strong>A Changing City Full of Distinct Neighborhoods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With Tulsa Remote pulling in a lot of young professionals, homes here are in-demand and neighborhoods are changing.

Thankfully, despite being a busy metro area, Tulsans deal with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomtom.com\/traffic-index\/united-states-of-america-country-traffic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">less traffic<\/a> than the majority of the country. In fact, folks here lose less than a third of their time to rush hour than the residents of New York!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some public transportation options available thanks to Tulsa Transit. There are nearly 20 fixed routes to get you around, as well as several connectors and a rapid transit system. It\u2019s good to know, though, that there\u2019s no service on public holidays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also find bikes and electric scooters throughout the downtown area to rent and ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=439&amp;action=edit#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"education-opportunities-in-tulsa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Education-in-Tulsa\"><strong>Education Opportunities in Tulsa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oklahoma is known for its education struggles and Tulsa schools don\u2019t fare any better.
