Top 25 Places To Retire - Broken Arrow Real Estate!

Affordability is one of many driving forces that brought Broken Arrow real estate to be placed in Money Magazine's "Top 25 Places To Retire" earlier this month. 

Located in the northeastern part of Oklahoma, both Broken Arrow real estate and the community as a whole has been growing leaps and bounds over recent years, with a population of just over 75,000 people as of 2,000 and now over 90,000, with a percentage of those over 50 years old at just 23%. 

The downtown redevelopment project has also been a factor that has improved our city's status both within the State and the U.S.; last year the new historical museum, farmers market, and Performing Arts Center all opened in downtown Broken Arrow, bringing more interest and more reasons to call Broken Arrow home.  September 29th at the Performing Arts Center, be sure to check out the inaugral concert, where you can experience some of today's best students perform live.

With this in mind, it's no wonder Broken Arrow's ranked position jumped significantly from just three years ago, when Broken Arrow was named #66 in Money Magazine's top 100 places to live...

Of course affordability is not the only aspect of Broken Arrow that brings it to the top of this list; over the years Broken Arrow real estate has been named numerous times as a top lister such as:

  • In 2007 CQ Press conducted a survey and found Broken Arrow to be the 22nd safest city in the U.S., and THE safest city in Oklahoma!
  • Also in 2007, Business Week Magazine named Broken Arrow real estate to be one of the "Top 25 Affordable Suburbs in the South", and
  • In 2008, Family Circle Magazine named Broken Arrow as one of the Top 10 best towns for families!

You just can't argue with that! 

Currently Broken Arrow homes for sale (single family) with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 car garages, are priced between the mid $50,000 to just under $300,000 with an average price of $153,000. 

460 properties have sold within the Broken Arrow real estate area over the past 6 months with an average time frame of only 47 days from being listed to having been sold!  We live in a very healthy market that has really not faltered during this challenging time in most other U.S. cities.  Let me know if you have any questions about real estate here or any other cities with the Tulsa area.
