The Truth About Life in the Sooner State—and Why More People Are Calling It Home
When people who’ve never been here picture Oklahoma, they usually imagine a dusty prairie, horses, a couple of cows, and a slow drawl. As someone who’s lived in Oklahoma my entire life, I can tell you firsthand: they’re missing the full picture.
This isn’t just a flyover state. Oklahoma is a hidden gem—a place where big dreams, warm people, and affordable luxury collide. We have world-class sports, legendary music, stunning lakes, and some of the kindest neighbors you’ll ever meet. And while we’re proud of our Western heritage, don’t be fooled—Oklahoma is modern, vibrant, and full of life.
The Oklahoma Lifestyle: Hospitality Meets Opportunity
Life moves at the right pace here. Whether you're in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, or any of our growing lake towns, there's a strong sense of community, plenty of space to grow, and an easy rhythm that makes everyday life feel more meaningful.
We hold doors open. We wave from our front porches. And we still believe in helping our neighbors. That’s not old-fashioned—that’s just Oklahoma.
But we’re not all small-town charm. Take a stroll through Downtown OKC, Midtown Tulsa, or the Pearl District, and you’ll find artisan coffee shops, rooftop bars, art galleries, tech startups, and some of the best food you’ll find anywhere in the country.
Oklahoma is Affordable—But Feels Like Luxury
Here’s what sets Oklahoma apart: you can live a luxury lifestyle without a luxury price tag. We consistently rank as one of the most affordable states in the country (cost of living rankings), yet offer custom homes, gated neighborhoods, and lakefront properties that rival anything you'd see in Dallas, Denver, or even Los Angeles.
Imagine owning a modern farmhouse in Deer Creek, a downtown penthouse with skyline views, or a secluded estate near Arcadia Lake—all while keeping your mortgage (and taxes) manageable.
And when it comes to second homes, Oklahoma delivers. Whether it’s a summer getaway or a year-round escape, places like Grand Lake, Lake Eufaula, and Lake Texoma offer boating, fishing, and luxury lakefront living that draws everyone from retirees to out-of-state investors.
Famous Faces & Music Legends from the Sooner State
For a state our size, Oklahoma punches way above its weight in talent. We’ve launched some of the biggest names in music, film, and television, including:
Garth Brooks – The best-selling solo artist in U.S. history
Carrie Underwood – Grammy-winning country powerhouse
Kings of Leon – Rock royalty from Talihina
Vince Gill – Country legend and Oklahoma City native
The Flaming Lips – Indie rock icons from OKC
Reba McEntire – The Queen of Country, raised in McAlester

From country ballads to psychedelic rock to the silver screen, Oklahoma continues to influence global pop culture in powerful ways.
We Bleed Sports: Thunder, Sooners & Cowboys
The OKC Thunder
When the Oklahoma City Thunder came to town, it changed everything. The Paycom Center is now the beating heart of downtown OKC on game nights. Whether it’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lighting up the scoreboard or a playoff run electrifying the city, the Thunder represent more than basketball—they symbolize Oklahoma’s strength, unity, and rising national profile.
College Football is a Way of Life
Let’s talk football. In Oklahoma, Saturdays are sacred. You’re either yelling “Boomer Sooner” or chanting “Go Pokes”—and there’s rarely a middle ground. The OU Sooners and OSU Cowboys are college football royalty, and we support them with unmatched loyalty, fierce rivalries, and tailgates that could give the SEC a run for their money.
We don’t just watch—we live it.
