If you\u2019re reading this right now, there is a good chance you\u2019re considering moving to Oklahoma, which means you\u2019re going to become a part of this wildly fascinating and exciting history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-a-brief-overview-of-oklahoma\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_brief_overview_of_Oklahoma\"><\/span>A brief overview of Oklahoma.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about making a jump to Oklahoma, there is some good news. While you\u2019ve certainly missed the party that was The Oklahoma Land Rush (you\u2019re over a century late)\u2026 there\u2019s still a ton of excitement happening in the state and the many cities that make it up. We are going to tell you everything you need to know about moving to Oklahoma. But, first, let\u2019s cover a brief overview of the state.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"h-1-black-gold-oklahoma-was-a-state-built-on-oil\">1. Black Gold. . . Oklahoma was a state built on oil<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While The Oklahoma Land Rush might have sparked the early beginnings of Oklahoma\u2026 the state itself was built on a little somethin\u2019 somethin\u2019 called Black Gold. It all began in Tulsa. Where, in the early 1900s, oil was struck in \u201cRed Fork\u201d, a neighborhood that today exists on the southwest side of the city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This, however, only scratched the surface of the vast wealth brewing below Oklahoma\u2019s crust. An oil field called Glenn Pool was eventually discovered and it ended up being quite the doozy. To date, Glenn Pool has yielded 340 million barrels of oil and was the jumping off point for nearly 100 oil companies. It\u2019s no wonder that for so long, Tulsa was widely considered the Oil Capital of the World.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Oil has been such a vital aspect of Oklahoman history that the State\u2019s Capitol Building is actually built atop an oil rig. That\u2019s pretty cool.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"h-2-oklahoma-has-the-second-largest-native-american-population-in-the-united-states\">2. Oklahoma has the second largest Native American population in the United States.<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you take a look at Oklahoma\u2019s flag you can pretty quickly see how rich Native American history is in the state. Besides California, Oklahoma has the largest Native American population in the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Today, over thirty-nine Native American tribes call Oklahoma home\u2026 but only five of these are considered indigenous. A few of these Native American tribes include the Shawnee, Apache, Kickapoo, Pawnee and the Kaw.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While it is certainly beautiful that Native Americans have such a large presence in the state of Oklahoma, it\u2019s important to note that the state\u2019s history isn\u2019t necessarily as pretty. While we won\u2019t get too far into the weeds today, before Oklahoma was Oklahoma, it was Native American territory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" class=\"wp-image-5608 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Oaklahoma Memorial Pond\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Oklahoma-Memorial-Pond-1024x678.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Oklahoma-Memorial-Pond-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Oklahoma-Memorial-Pond-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Oklahoma-Memorial-Pond-768x509.jpg 768w\"><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-the-pros-and-cons-of-moving-to-oklahoma\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Pros_and_Cons_of_Moving_to_Oklahoma\"><\/span>The Pros and Cons of Moving to Oklahoma.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Oklahoma, like any state, isn\u2019t all rainbows and butterflies. It has some good parts about it\u2026 and some bad and even ugly parts, too. Before anyone moves to a state, we think it is important they know exactly what they are getting into. That\u2019s why, in every one of our state guides, we include a pros and cons section. We\u2019re optimists, however, here at Bellhop. So, let\u2019s kick things off with the pros of moving to Oklahoma.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"h-3-the-pros-of-moving-to-oklahoma-a-ridiculously-low-cost-of-living-and-no-rush-hour\">3. The pros of moving to Oklahoma\u2026 a ridiculously low cost of living and no rush hour.<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>USA Today ranked Oklahoma as the fourth most affordable state in the US to live. The average home price in Oklahoma is about $123,000. When you consider that the average home price in the United States is $226,000 you realize just how affordable Oklahoma is. It literally costs half the price to buy a home in Oklahoma than it does in the United States as a whole. That\u2019s awesome. In addition to this, the average rent in Oklahoma is much cheaper than the rest of the United States too. While the average rent in the United States has recently hit a record high of $1,400\u2026 in Oklahoma\u2019s largest and most popular city, Oklahoma City, rent clocks in at just a little over $700. Again, nearly half.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In addition to the low cost of living in Oklahoma, the state also makes transportation super easy. Due to the fact that most of the state doesn\u2019t consist of massive overflowing cities, \u201crush hour\u201d isn\u2019t really a thing in Oklahoma.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Oh, and if you like BBQ\u2026 Oklahoma is a no brainer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now, let\u2019s chat briefly about the not so great things about Oklahoma.<\/p><div class=\"getbe-middle\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"getbe-818867756\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/book\/service\/\" aria-label=\"The Better Way to Move\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Better Way to Move\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" width=\"600\" height=\"160\" style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png 600w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160-300x80.png 300w\"><\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"h-4-the-cons-of-moving-to-oklahoma-from-a-landscape-standpoint-there-are-certainly-prettier-states\">4. The cons of moving to Oklahoma\u2026 from a landscape standpoint there are certainly prettier states.<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We would never call a state ugly. And, Oklahoma is certainly not ugly. Each and every state has its own individual features that make it beautiful. Unfortunately, for Oklahoma, these features don\u2019t necessarily include its landscape. Oklahoma is composed of tons and tons of rolling plains. While they\u2019re very pretty\u2026 they can certainly become monotonous and are by no means a hiker\u2019s dream.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you are someone that loves the great outdoors and loves playing and exploring in beautiful landscapes, then we recommend staying away from Oklahoma and taking a closer look at states with prettier landscapes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-5609 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Oaklahoma Windmill\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Piedmont-Oklahoma-Windmill-1024x683.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Piedmont-Oklahoma-Windmill-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Piedmont-Oklahoma-Windmill-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Piedmont-Oklahoma-Windmill-768x512.jpg 768w\"><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-show-us-the-money-oklahoma-a-look-at-the-economy-and-the-opportunity-in-the-sooner-state\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Show_us_the_money_Oklahoma%E2%80%A6_a_look_at_the_economy_and_the_opportunity_in_The_Sooner_State\"><\/span>Show us the money, Oklahoma\u2026 a look at the economy and the opportunity in The Sooner State.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Let\u2019s face it\u2026 a big part of deciding whether or not a state is right for you is the money. You have to figure out a way to pay for rent and food and brews and all that other lovely stuff, right? Fortunately, where it concerns money and opportunity\u2026 Oklahoma has got you covered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"h-5-there-are-some-golden-opportunities-in-oklahoma\">5. There are some golden opportunities in Oklahoma.<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There happens to be a lot of opportunity in Oklahoma. For one, there is stability. So, if you\u2019re looking to move there and find a nice stable career\u2026 you\u2019re in luck. There are a handful of Fortune 500 companies in Oklahoma, many of which you will recognize. Does Hobby Lobby, Love\u2019s, American Cancer Society or Sonic ring a bell? We imagine so.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But, the extremely low cost of living comes with some other opportunities, too. Due to the fact that rent is so incredibly low, Oklahoma is a great place to launch a business, too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While Oklahoma has traditionally been known as being built on oil. It\u2019s getting innovative. Oklahoma City, for example, has a surprisingly robust startup scene with nearly endless incubators, co-working spaces, and startup events. Not to mention, Tulsa, Oklahoma\u2019s second largest city isn\u2019t too far behind OKC, either. And, some experts are predicting the city will experience a boom in the coming years. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Mike Basch, the philanthropic and investment arms of the GKFF (George Kaiser Family Foundation) foresees that startups will choose Tulsa in the future for their secondary offices because they will be able to save 30%-50% on costs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-what-are-the-best-places-to-live-in-oklahoma\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_best_places_to_live_in_Oklahoma\"><\/span>What are the best places to live in Oklahoma?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Okay, so you\u2019ve made it this far which means you\u2019re somewhat interested in moving to Oklahoma. With that said, if you\u2019re on a bit of a time crunch, here\u2019s what you need to know\u2026 Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Norman are where it is at. If you\u2019re considering moving to Oklahoma take a hard look at these places. We\u2019ve highlighted our personal favorite of the three down below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"h-6-oklahoma-city-is-called-the-biggest-small-town-in-the-world-here-is-why\">6. Oklahoma City is called the biggest small town in the world\u2026 here is why.<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Oklahoma City is Oklahoma\u2019s capital and the largest city and is one of the only two state capital cities whose name includes the name of the state. Like many of America\u2019s up and coming cities, it is growing like crazy. This is for some pretty obvious reasons. For one, Oklahoma City has an exceptional job market, too. In fact, it was recently ranked as one of the fastest growing job markets in the nation and one of the top ten cities in America to raise a family. Long story short, people want to move there\u2026 and they are.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With that said, this growth hasn\u2019t jaded Oklahoma City. Transplants who move to Oklahoma City quickly fall in love with the close-knit southern feel and the warm Midwestern friendliness \u2013\u2013 the perfect welcoming combination for newcomers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Additionally, while Oklahoma City is growing quickly, it\u2019s still very affordable to live there. According to Kiplinger, Oklahoma City has one of the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/blog\/the-affordable-moving-and-housing-guide-information-and-resources-for-low-income-households\/\">affordable housing<\/a> markets in the nation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>And, while Oklahoma City has a population of 643,000 people\u2026 it isn\u2019t difficult to get around. We mentioned this in our pro\u2019s section. The state as a whole won\u2019t leave you waiting in the car for hours, navigating through traffic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" class=\"wp-image-5610 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Oklahoma Boat House\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Oklahoma-boat-house-1024x767.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Oklahoma-boat-house-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Oklahoma-boat-house-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Oklahoma-boat-house-768x576.jpg 768w\"><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-a-few-final-thoughts-on-oklahoma\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_few_final_thoughts_on_Oklahoma\"><\/span>A few final thoughts on Oklahoma<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So, who is the state of Oklahoma for? Oklahoma is a gem but it\u2019s not for everyone. Like we mentioned earlier, if you\u2019re wanting to be surrounded by stunning landscape, Oklahoma isn\u2019t necessarily the state for you. With that said, if you\u2019re wanting to make a jump to a city with a very low cost of living without missing out on the opportunity\u2026 we doubt you will find a better place to call home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If or when you decide to make your move, don\u2019t hesitate to give us a shout.
