Title: Thinking of moving to Tulsa
Post by: Honeybee on December 10, 2006, 11:07:59 PM
We are thinking about moving to Tulsa from Ca. we were there in Sep. and spent 2 weeks there looking around at property [:D]Look at BA, Claremore, Coweta , Sapulpa, Jenks .We are not real sure where we want to buy . We live in the country now. And love it . We really liked Jenks . I like rolling hills best . I was amazed at how green Tulsa is . We had never been there it was very Green [:P]Anything you can tell me about Tulsa area would be great . We loved what we did see there .Hubby is wanting to retire at 59 so we would be able to sale here and buy there . Just want to know all I can about it from those who live there [:D]Thanks  Honeybee~~~~~~~~~~[:)]

If your looking for those rolling hills and a place in the country to live the Sand Springs/Sapulpa area has a lot to offer. The Skiatook area is also like this and they even have a big lake! [:)]

Move to northwest Arkansas.  That's where the rest of CA is moving to.  They have a lot more illegals there so it feels more like California that OK does.

There are plenty of people like yourself who have moved to Tulsa from Cali.  Many are clients that I have worked for who, like yourself, sold their home there and moved "up" here or have retired.  You will be in good company. [:)]

If your retired without children pay attention to what school district your moving into so you don't get saddled with extremely high property taxes.....i.e Jenks..

Yes we were told by Realtor that taxes are much higher in Jenks area . We don't care about that we pay high taxes here in Ca. and we plan on paying cash out there so we don't mind if taxes are alittle more [:D]I have friends that just moved there to BA in Wagnor County and there taxes are not bad there .I would consider BA wagnor County if we can find something we really love . [:D]Thanks though for telling me about taxes there can you tell me anything else ?Like how long have you lived there what do you love and hate about it?

If you are moving from California, it means we have a chance you are a liberal (they don't call it the left coast for nothing).

On behalf of the minority in Oklahoma, let me just say...hurry and bring friends.

Are you saying that liberals build things and conservatives tear them down?

Actually a lot of the Californians moving to the Midwest are not liberal. They are leaving because they are tired of the liberals in California. I'm not saying that is the case with Honeybee, but it is with many.
Another thing you have to realize is that 45% of Californians voted for Bush in the 2004 election. So yes, there are plenty of right-wingers in that state too.

I remember reading the second article about property taxes just the other day, and how odd it was that people here often mention how high they are but in reality they are very low.

If you like living in the country, Grove/Grand Lake is worth a try.  To the north of Tulsa, Owasso has lots of development-- a little further north to Collinsville/Oologah is worth a look.

I'll take a pass on discussing Tulsa area  politics/religion this time around, tempting as it is... so you'll be welcome, as long as ya ain't one of those speculatin' Californ-y folks who's looking to flip condos/houses  after watching a few too many late night infomercials...

If I were picking a suburb I would most likely choose Jenks or Sand Springs.  They both have more character and interest than Owasso and BA. As for country, towards Skiatook Lake. Some idyll hills and valleys that direction. Sapulpa has a nice country feel to it as well.

Post by: Goodpasture on December 12, 2006, 08:03:04 AM
That area north of Sand Springs near the Zink ranch is pretty nice. Rolling hills, pretty decent water, easy access to Tulsa, close to Skiatook Lake, improving property values, Rock Fire Department is good. There are also some nice areas south of Sapulpa in Creek County. Pretty hills, small and larger acreages, close to Tulsa.

If you are a gardener, most of the "hilly" areas don't have a lot of dirt. The soil is pretty thin. Along the rivers you will find some decent soil, and Bixby is considered the garden city of Oklahoma, although, even there, if you are in the hills there is more rock than dirt.

If you are considering goats or small farm cattle, or raising pigs or chickens, just about anywhere outside of Tulsa is good. Even the more rocky hills has decent graze most the time, and if you clear out the post oaks bermuda grass will take hold just about anywhere.

I do review appraising in and around Tulsa and Oklahoma City so if I can be of assistance, let me know, and welcome to Oklahoma.

Check this note out. After reading "borned, ourselfs and gotton" I believe this person is well suited for Tulsa. If hubby is the same level, CA will gain a couple of notches on the IQ scale.

That's okay.  tulitlikeitis doesn't live here.  He lives in Houston... he hated Tulsa so much for the 8 months he lived here, that he's been posting on TulsaNow for years under about a dozen different aliases... in other words, he hates Tulsa so much, he just can't stay away.  [;)]

Oh, and I guess we should all know how well renouned Houstonians are for their spelling prowess.  [}:)]

Thank You  all so much for your kind words I just lost my Daddy coming up 1 yr. in Jan, and I am the youngest his Baby even though I am 44 it still hurts deeply to lose your Parent and I have been dealing with his passing and so many other things like moving to OK. I came here full of excitement at the thought of getting to chat with people from OK.Miles away to help me learn all I can about it and then I get slammed !! right off the bat by that Rude Man tulitikeitis!!!because I am from Ca. Oh afew words were not type right either so he thinks me and my Hubby have low IQ[;)] What a compleate Idiot!![^] .Thank you ,Snopes for the warm Welcome [:)]and Thanks USRufiner for shedding some light on Him for me.And to think he doesn't even live in Tulsa OK.  he must be the one that e-mailed me also asking me if I had lost my mind! and how he lived there 8 mo. and Hated it so bad they left so what is he doing here on this forum to let everyone know how much he hates it and put Ca. people down for wanting to move there .The Great thing is this because I live in Beautiful Ca. I have enough to pay Cash for a home there and live very well and I will never have to see this Man's face .If people think ugly of us because were coming from Ca. then there is something wrong with them . And then he told me You don't want to move there.How does he know what I want to do he has no Idea of who we are[:)] or who he is talking to I'm  new here and just  want to meet some people that really live in OK. to gain some insight on OK. but this guy is Horriable and Rude . tulitikeitis or what ever other name he is using .I found that everyone , I mean everyone[:D]in OK. was very kind to us [:D]DScott is a very kind person I have enjoyed looking at all the pics he has taken .

tulitlikeitis is definitely not representative of the area. That is the only thing he agrees with us on. He puts in a lot of time trying to find new ways to get on here and start new users. I think he is up to 14 at this point.

He likes to criticize Tulsa and everyone in it without actually giving any information. As if that wasn't cheery enough, he likes attacking others which is against the rules. One that you would think he would figure out after 13 attempts to come here.

Either way, he has been kicked off the forum again so hopefully he won't both you anymore.

So, enjoy Tulsa!

Oh Boy [:D]Great[:D]  I know one other forum I am a member when they have problems like that they ban them for good ! They cannot get on using another name because they can see what PC there using whitch stops them from getting on using another name .How sad that there are people out there with no life that find it amusing to treat other people that way .Thank so much for taking care of it .Dang I can't beleive he was up to 14 names ! How sad .Well maybe now we won't have to listen to his negative garbage anymore .Thank You Honeybee

Post by: USRufnex on December 17, 2006, 11:43:17 AM
Ummm... facts, please... not just some article on chicken waste... facts.

Fact:  when I lived in OKC, the water bill always had an EPA warning that the water didn't meet EPA standards... haven't seen this in Tulsa.  Water where I just moved from (Elgin, IL) had a certain taste/odor I didn't like so I'd use Brita filters every time...

The only complaint I've had in the past is that Tulsa water seems TOO clean... the tap water in the city of Tulsa has always looked crystal clear and never had an odor/taste problem (at least in my experience)... highly fluoridated? (somebody in the know could give more details).

I know Coweta gets the same EPA warning on its water bills.  If you worry about it, then do the filters, etc...

Strangely enough, I forgot to recommend Coweta if Honeybee decides on Wagoner County... Tulsa to the north/west, Ft Gibson/lakes to the east... some inexpensive nice modern housing built recently and Coweta still has a home town feel to it...

Ummm... facts, please... not just some article on chicken waste... facts.

Fact:  when I lived in OKC, the water bill always had an EPA warning that the water didn't meet EPA standards... haven't seen this in Tulsa.  Water where I just moved from (Elgin, IL) had a certain taste/odor I didn't like so I'd use Brita filters every time...

The only complaint I've had in the past is that Tulsa water seems TOO clean... the tap water in the city of Tulsa has always looked crystal clear and never had an odor/taste problem (at least in my experience)... highly fluoridated? (somebody in the know could give more details).

I know Coweta gets the same EPA warning on its water bills.  If you worry about it, then do the filters, etc...

Strangely enough, I forgot to recommend Coweta if Honeybee decides on Wagoner County... Tulsa to the north/west, Ft Gibson/lakes to the east... some inexpensive nice modern housing built recently and Coweta still has a home town feel to it...

Thank you I did see Coweta[:)] we went to see ours friends house they were building there [:D]We also went to Wagnor,seen a awesome home on land with it's own pond beautiful but alittle to far out !If I ever had to be out there alone I would not like that not knowing the area or anything . Also seen homes in  Claremore ,Jenks , Sapulpa, BA I plan on flying out there in the Summer I want to see what the humdity is like there .Here in Ca, we had 114* for 14 days straight this last summer[8D] Normal it is around 100-106* being the hottest ![8D]So I am used to very Hot weather.  Are heat is dry heat though.I have friends in BA now and Shilome Springs so I will come out and visit during the Hottest  time .I am not worried about the water .I can always put in a water system if it is that bad .I am not used to forums I only belong to 1 forum and it is all women and it is a support forum for those who have had Cosmetic Surgary so there is no bashing there !  I thought I would give the forums a try to gain  insight on other places to live and gather good insight to help us make better choices. Thank you all [:)]Honeybee

I am referring to the chicken poop in Tulsa's water.  It may not kill you, but, certainly it will make you go LOCO.  Which explains BikerChicken, Santa, AND RepsychoMichael.

Do you not have a sense of humor or are you just being a dude-bag?

Actually to take the trouble to make up this scorecard indicates some OCD behavior on your part.

Hi Davaz #14! Or is that 15? No trouble at all, about 5 minutes with Illustrator and poof, like magic.

The real phsychotic behavior is taking time to re-register under yet another pseudonym and come back to the place you love to hate.

Enjoy.

Dave,

Wow, just a 335i?

Do you have Beemer envy of those 5 series you see all over the place? Is that why you are so sad?

actually a 5 series offers little if anything in terms of handling and performance.  An M3 is one of the most coveted sports cars and its a derivitive of the 3 series.  BMW isnt all about bigger is better, unlike fat lazy American brands.

You would have to dig a little in the archives.... But I don't think Mister Pluto had an M3 unless they were made in the late 80's....

But maybe that is the answer.... He is James Bond... and his car has 100 different laptops in it.

Took delivery of a black 335i yesterday. If you will check, you will find that the current 335i  with a twin turbo will eat an M3s lunch and is about as fast off the line as a 911.  The 335i is the car this year ... production is sold out through the late spring.

5 series are for oldsters and wimps.

Actually, I would LOVE to have a late 80s M3 in good condition.  I know people who sold theirs who are still kicking themselves today.

I'm sorry Mister Inteller I guess this requires a little more explanation......

During one of "Davaz" other lifespans he was a fellow named "Pluto" that hated the fact that we had the Penguins in Tulsa as a fund raiser... And he was so glad he was going to be leaving Tulsa as "the streets" were sure to ruin the suspension on his late 80's BMW...
I am not a BMW person but I thought they came out with the M series later.. Sorry for the misinfo...

However, Mister Nale, if this story has any truth to it..? Has a brand new "Cruisin" machine...
