– Other cities make the list too, showcasing that Oklahoma isn’t just about cowboy hats and oil fields but also about embracing the ‘green’ pedal power.

Rolling Out My Two Cents…

The real estate market, just like a bike, is all about balance. Too high prices and we topple over. Too low, and it feels like we’re not going anywhere. But Oklahoma seems to have found its sweet spot; a Goldilocks-zone that’s just right. And with a sprinkle of environmental friendliness, it’s making its cities more bikeable. It’s got people shouting ‘On yer bike!’ instead of ‘Oh, your bank!’.

Norman, Tulsa, Stillwater, you’ve made pedalling awesome! Your average house prices might not be pocket change, but hey, look at the bright side – you might be able to ditch those gym memberships. And for those more sociably inclined, it seems like it’s less about keeping up with the Joneses and more about keeping up with the peloton.

So, my hot take? If you’re a fan of your two-wheeler and not too allergic to house hunting, pack your helmets, bike locks, and checkbooks because Norman, Tulsa, and Stillwater might just be your next dream pit stop. And remember to keep your rides ‘wheelie’ fun!

In short, Oklahoma’s got us all in a spin (quite literally!) Keep an eye on Redfin for more on real estate with a twist…
