Broken Arrow Real Estate

From the time we became a "town" in 1903 until the mid-1960s, Broken Arrow's population remained fairly constant. When the Broken Arrow Expressway opened in the mid-1960s, however, things changed.

But despite a growing population, the quality of public safety in Broken Arrow has never changed. We were rated the state's Safest City in 2004 and No. 46 in the nation, based on major crime reports in cities of 75,000 or more. In 2006, Broken Arrow again earned the rating of Oklahoma's Safest City and was ranked No. 20 nationally. The latest survey (2007) released by CQ Press recognizes Broken Arrow as the 22nd safest city in the nation.

Now, with a population approaching 100,000 (ranked 4th largest city in Oklahoma) and more businesses and manufacturers than any other cities except Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Broken Arrow is no longer a "bedroom" community. There are still a great many men and women who live here and drive to Tulsa to work, but more and more there are residents who also work in our city.

The August, 2008 issue of Family Circle magazine listed Broken Arrow as on of the nations Top 10 cities and towns in which to raise a family. Broken Arrow is one of only two cities in Oklahoma to be named on the list of America's "Most Liveable Small Cities" by a national publication. We've been honored as a "Tree City USA" every year since 2001 by the National Arbor Day Foundation for our committment to trees -- not only in our parks, but the community as a whole. Broken Arrow has earned a reputation as Oklahoma's "Youth Sports Capital" for the way in which our citizens and municipal government provide facilities for and support kid sports.

Two of Oklahoma's top five school districts are either located in Broken Arrow or partially in the city -- Broken Arrow and Union. Northeastern State University at Broken Arrow combines with Tulsa Community College to offer four years of college work, plus graduate degree programs. Rhema Bible College has long been a fixture in Broken Arrow and brings in students from all over the world each year.

We're still building new homes at the fastest rate in Northeastern Oklahoma, so there are plenty of options and opportunities in Broken Arrow.
