ABOUT OKLAHOMA
CITY
Even from the beginning, Oklahoma City has been far from
ordinary. Born at the sound of a gunshot, we became home to
10,000 homesteaders in the historic Land Run on April 22, 1889.
Think that day was full of excitement? It doesn’t even compare
to the energy and exuberance of Oklahoma City today.

that residents don’t spend their free time trapped in
traffic going to and from work. In fact, the average
person spends only 20 minutes commuting one
way to work, compared to the national average of
25.8 minutes. While a five-minute difference may
not seem like much, in one year’s time you will have
saved 50 hours of commute time.

Adventure
District
Welcome to Oklahoma City
For more than 20 years, Ideal has …
Built great homes in great school districts all over the metro.
Blazed a path for energy efficiency that has saved our owners millions.
As you search for a new home, we hope you will visit us online at
Ideal Homes.com. We have a neighborhood for you.
In this case, the name says
it all – this is the district to
visit if you love the thrill
of an adventure. In the
Adventure District, you will
find opportunities for the
young and the young at
heart. From the rush of live
horseracing at Remington
Park to visiting Oklahoma
City’s wildest residents at
the Oklahoma City Zoo
and Botanical Gardens,
this family-friendly area has
something for everyone.
Asian
District
Oklahoma City’s culture has
been influenced in many
different ways and nowhere
is that more true than in the
Asian District, where an influx
of Vietnamese immigrants in
the 1970s created a haven
for Asian fusion cuisine that
boasts some of the most
inventive flavors around. The
food is so inspirational, it led
famed chef, Danny Bowien to
take his talents to the coasts.
Automobile
Alley
Located north of downtown
along Broadway avenue, the
Automobile Alley district was
originally home to the city’s
car dealerships, a fact that is
immortalized in the neon signs
that still hang from its original
buildings. The past and the
present have combined to
make this district effortlessly
cool with lots to offer, including
some of Oklahoma City’s best
shopping, dining and nightlife.
Boathouse District
With its glittering boathouses and new construction, it
is hard to believe that two decades ago the Oklahoma
River had to be periodically mowed. Thanks to new
investment, today it is a hotspot for outdoor recreation.
Located within walking distance of the Bricktown
Entertainment District, the Boathouse District is an
official U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Site for
rowing and canoe/kayak sports and is home to sports
enthusiasts of all kinds.
w w w. I d e a l H o m e s .c o m
Paseo Arts District
From its original Spanish Revival architecture to its eclectic art galleries, the Paseo Arts District has a
bohemian vibe that is all its own. Once Oklahoma City’s first shopping center in the 1920’s, Paseo is now
home to more than 70 artists, plus shops, bars and restaurants.
Plaza District
Equal parts trendy and gritty, this area is an enclave of
locally-owned shops, stellar dessert options and upand-coming restaurants. Staying true to its roots as a
commercial district in the 1920’s, the Plaza District has
risen out of a state of neglect and become a hub of
creativity and a magnet for local businesses. Its more
than 30 small businesses include restaurants, bars,
galleries and shops, and the district is also home to the
nationally-renowned Lyric on the Plaza Theater, where
you can catch live performances in season.
Bricktown Entertainment District
This hotspot for nightlife lives up to its name of Oklahoma City’s entertainment district.
A favorite of visitors and locals alike, this former warehouse district is just steps away
from downtown hotels, event venues and attractions. From taking a cruise along
the Bricktown Canal to catching an Oklahoma City Dodgers game at the Chickasaw
Bricktown Ballpark, there are plenty of options for an entertaining evening.
Central
Business
District
Located in the heart of downtown
Oklahoma City, the Central
Business District welcomes more
than 51,000 employees each day
and is home to a growing number
of restaurants, stores and housing
options. Equal parts urban and
artistic, this area of Oklahoma City
provides plenty of options for both
work and play. In fact, many of
Oklahoma City’s most recognizable
venues call the Central Business
District home, including the
Oklahoma City Museum of Art, the
Oklahoma City Civic Center, the
Oklahoma City National Memorial
and Museum, the Cox Convention
Center and all the buildings that
make up Oklahoma City’s growing
skyline.
Stockyards
City
Film Row
Equal parts historic and
revitalized, Film Row is a
symbol of Oklahoma City’s
renaissance. Film Row
was once home to the
film distribution offices for
Hollywood’s studios, and it
retained its glitz and glamour
to become one of Oklahoma
City’s hot spots to live, work
and play. Visit 21c Museum
Hotel to experience both the
district’s past and its future.
Midtown
Just on the northern edge of
downtown and just west of
Automobile Alley, the Midtown
district is a connecting hub
for the hustle and bustle of
downtown with the stately
historic housing districts to
the north. With a mix of local
restaurants and neighborhood
pubs, this district is the perfect
place to experience the best
of OKC’s local fare.
Oklahoma City’s Western roots
run deep, and you are sure
to experience OKC’s strong
ties to its cattle-town past in
Stockyards City. It’s home
to the Oklahoma National
Stockyards, the world’s
largest feeder and stocker
cattle market where live cattle
auctions take place every
Monday and Tuesday and are
open to the public. Home to a
number of shops specializing
in all things Western, your trip
to Stockyards City may leave
you hankering for a home on
the range.
Uptown
23rd
The Uptown 23rd district is
experiencing dynamic growth,
meaning that options abound
when it comes to dining and
night life. If you love delicious
food and fun activities, this
district is for you.
Western
Avenue
From upscale to accessible,
contemporary to antique, the
Western Avenue district has a
little bit of everything. From the
local dives on Western Avenue
to the chic shops along

you covered from shopping to

A Guide to Weather Watches
and Warnings
Climate
If you aren’t familiar with the categories for severe weather,
watching a meteorology report can be a little confusing.
Here is a no-frills guide to severe weather reporting.
Severe thunderstorm
watch
What it means: The
potential exists for
the development of
thunderstorms that might
produce large hail and/or
damaging winds.
CLIMATE
Severe Weather Preparedness
Sunny Days Ahead
Oklahoma City’s solid four seasons and its sunny
days give residents plenty of opportunities to get
outdoors and explore in a
variety of seasonal weather.
Oklahoma City’s climate is
enjoyably average (weatherwise), with sunny and warm
summers, bright and cold
winters and crisp autumns.
The spring season is often
wet, but filled with plenty
of clear days to get out
and watch Oklahoma’s
landscape bloom. In
addition to its temperate
climate, Oklahoma City also
boasts clean air so you can
breathe easy.
Oklahoma’s location east
of the Rocky Mountains and north of the Gulf of
Mexico means that we are sometimes a hot spot
for some interesting weather. Cold, dry air from the
Rocky Mountains and Canada have the potential to
combine with the warm, moist air from the Gulf of
Mexico, sometimes resulting in thunderstorms or
even more severe weather, including tornados.
Like other states that have a potential for severe
weather, Oklahoma is well-prepared for what
Mother Nature might throw its way. The Greater
Oklahoma City metro area
has hundreds of outdoor
warning sirens that inform
residents when their area
is under a tornado warning,
and in Oklahoma City,
these tornado sirens are
tested every Saturday
at noon unless there is
severe weather in the area.
Oklahoma City is also home
to some of the nation’s
best meteorologists who
help residents stay aware
and informed when severe
weather happens. Just 30
miles south of Oklahoma
City in Norman, Okla., is the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s
(NOAA) National Weather Service. Oklahoma City
has access to the best and most technologicallyadvanced equipment to predict and detect potential
severe weather.
Much like states along the east coast
are prepared for potential hurricanes,
residents in Oklahoma City can do
their best to be prepared for severe
weather and tornadoes. At home,
have a family tornado plan in place
by identifying where you will take
shelter. Flying debris is often the
greatest danger in tornadoes, so
store protective coverings in or next
to your shelter space. Many homes in
Greater Oklahoma City have tornado
shelters or safe rooms. While not all
builders include a shelter in the house,
they often take the steps to make it
very easy for one to be added by the
homeowner.
The region’s hard clay soil and water
table mean that most newer homes do
not have a basement, but many homes
in historic neighborhoods do. No
matter the age of your home, adding
a tornado shelter inside your house or
on your property is a good way to be
prepared for potential severe weather.
For more information about tornado
safety and preparation, visit the
Oklahoma Department of Emergency
Management’s site, www.ok.gov/oem.
What to do: Go about your
normal activities, but be
aware of the weather. Listen
to the National Weather
Service’s weather radio
or local stations for further
weather updates.
Severe thunderstorm
warning
What it means: A severe
thunderstorm – meaning a
storm with large hail and/
or damaging winds – is
occurring or is imminent.
What to do: Move indoors
or to a place of safety.
weather updates.
PDS tornado watch
What it means: This type
of tornado watch is issued
when the National Weather
Service deems a storm to
be a “particularly dangerous
situation” with the potential
for multiple strong or violent
tornadoes. Of the tornado
watches issued across the
U.S. from 1996-2005, only 7
percent were classified as
PDS tornado watches.
weather updates.
Tornado warning
Tornado watch
What it means: Conditions
are favorable for severe
thunderstorms to form,
and these storms may be
capable of producing a
tornado.
What it means: A tornado
has been spotted or intense
low-level rotation has been
indicated on weather radar.
What to do: According to
the NOAA, you should take
cover immediately in an
enclosed, windowless area
on the lowest level of your
home or office.
