Things You Should Know About Oklahoma

Now that you know what separates Poseidon Moving and Storage from the rest in regards to our long distance moving services, it’s time to learn a bit more about your new home in Oklahoma. After all, learning as much as you can about your new home before making the final decision to move there is among the smartest things you can do when preparing for a move to Oklahoma.

Oklahoma, also known as The Sooner State, has a population of 3.975 million people as of 2019’s estimates. While there are many reasons that you should consider moving to Oklahoma, our movers have compiled a list of some of the best reasons so you can learn more about The Sooner State.

Among the top reasons to move to Oklahoma, one of the biggest is the cost of living. In CNBC’s “America’s Top States for Business 2012” ranking, Oklahoma was ranked as the top state for a low cost of living. It should also be noted that Oklahoma also placed fourth in cost of business, making Oklahoma a place where your dollar far exceeds nearly anywhere else in the country.

Another reason that you should consider moving to Oklahoma is because it is one of the friendliest states in the nation. Oklahoma City in particular, the largest city in Oklahoma, was ranked No. 5 on Travel+Leisure’s “America’s Friendliest Cities” list. According to a recent survey Oklahoma City also ranked as the least rude and snobby city in the entirety of the nation.

Oklahoma also ranks as one of the best states for military retirees. With such strong military ties in the state of Oklahoma, it’s no surprise that WalletHub ranked the state No. 12 on its recent “Best and Worst States for Military Retirees” list. Oklahoma also ranked particularly highly for economic environment.

Oklahoma is also known for having some of the best college cities. Two college towns in Oklahoma in particular made WalletHub’s list of “Best College Cities and Towns in America” for 2014. Stillwater, where Oklahoma State is located, came in 8th with especially high rankings in affordability. The University of Oklahoma and Norman came in at No. 36 also scoring high in affordability overall.

Finally, Oklahoma is home to some of the most beautiful natural beauty to be found in the United States. In particular, Oklahoma is home to over 200 lakes created by dams, the largest number of any state in the United States. If you’re looking for a great view in the state of Oklahoma, one of the best views to be found is the drive along Talimena Scenic Drive in southeastern Oklahoma.

Popular Towns to Visit in Oklahoma

Now that you know more about the state of Oklahoma overall, it’s time to narrow our focus to the most popular town to visit and live in the state of Oklahoma: Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City is the capital of Oklahoma and has a population of 649,021 as of 2018’s estimates. Oklahoma City is a popular town to visit and live in Oklahoma for many reasons including its dynamic economy, inspiring arts and music scene, and exciting zoos and museums.

While many big cities are plagued with a common problem of poor air quality, Oklahoma City has some of the best air quality you are likely to find in the United States. While Oklahoma City culture has so much to offer in the way of art, nightlife, sports, and more, you’ll never have to worry about poor air quality considering the fact that the city is regularly swept clean by midwestern storms.

Another reason that Oklahoma City is so popular for new residents is found in the fact that the city offers an easy commute. In fact, most Oklahoma City residents commute an average of 22 minutes which isn’t bad for a big city. This is important considering the fact that there is limited public transit available. After enjoying a night of Oklahoma City’s nightlife, you’ll never have to worry about Los Angeles-style traffic on the way home from your night out.

If you have a family, you should also know that Oklahoma City is home to newly renovated schools. In 2001, a new funding program known as MAPS allowed the building of seven new schools and renovations in a total of 65 schools in and around Oklahoma City. Aside from the fact that the schools in Oklahoma City are newly renovated, the schools also rank highly in terms of performance, student advancement, and teacher-student ratio. Oklahoma City schools have also seen some of the biggest jumps in ACT performance in the past few years.

Finally, Oklahoma City is the perfect place to move for young professionals and entrepreneurs alike. With the recent influx of young professionals moving to the area has come a boom of entrepreneurial activity that has shown boosts for the local economy. With an affordable average rent of $800 per month and average pay on the rise, there are few better places to move if you are a young professional looking to start your own business.

Some of the most popular neighborhoods to live in Oklahoma City include Edmond, Norman, Goldsby, Yukon, and Tuttle. Each of these neighborhoods are fantastic places to live in Oklahoma City, especially for families.
