Oklahoma City has been making some noise lately. Top national rankings in 10 different quality‑of‑life categories. Billions of dollars in city and education improvements. New corporate locations. The fastest growing entertainment district in the southwest. And the list goes on for the state’s Capital City and the ten‑county metro area that is home to 1.4 million. It’s the 20th most populous city in the US and the 8th largest in the Southern US.

The city is known for its diverse economy, growing population, and low cost of living that is 13% below U.S. average.

Oklahoma City is strategically located in the center of the continental U.S. and at the crossroads of the nation’s interstate highway system – I‑35, I‑40 and I‑44. Residents have convenient access to transportation, with an average commute time of 28 minutes. You won’t find the bumper‑to‑bumper traffic of a Dallas or Houston. The city also has two major airports and railways.

OKC’s economy has diversified beyond oil and agriculture, with growth in aerospace, healthcare, energy and logistics. The city boasts a Gross Metropolitan Product exceeding $80 billion annually.

A significant portion of OKC’s residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher (36.6%), according to the Census Bureau. The city also has a large number of students attending 15 area colleges and universities.

Oklahoma City has all the major amenities you would expect from a major metro with great restaurants, countless arts and cultural opportunities, professional sports (the OKC Comets are the LA Dodger AAA affiliate, the NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder). OKC is home to the Bricktown Canal Walk, the Oklahoma City National Memorial, the Oklahoma City Zoo, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, and the 2028 Olympic venue for rowing.

Nearby Lake Hefner is one of the country’s premiere sailing lakes. You can kite surf or sailboard or just go fly a kite with your family.

A Better Living, A Better Life – that sums up today’s Oklahoma City.
