History Protected
The homes in Ranch Acres were built during the boom that took place in the post-war years, a time when new subdivisions were springing up all over the world. These homes, built between the years of 1949 and 1962, are true mid-century modern escapes, and in 2007, the city of Tulsa designated much of Ranch Acres a historic district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Prior to the World Wars, building a new home was an expensive proposition, custom designed for the wealthiest of people, but after the second World War, that all changed. Subdivisions began springing up all over the nation, making home ownership easier than it ever had been before. Today, we are used to new houses and neighborhoods filled with cookie cutter homes, but in the 40s and 50s, it was a revolutionary idea that was praised all over the country.

The Neighborhood
Offering wide sidewalks and traditionally brick homes set back a way, large expanses of green grass ensure that on weekends, the sound of lawnmowers is the song of the neighborhood. Beds of cheerful flowers may frame the bottom of the brick homes and a neat and tidy appearance will please residents who live in Ranch Acres and guests who are visiting. There are three parks in the community, giving tired parents the chance to sit and relax as their active children scramble all over the jungle gyms and other playground equipment. Guests looking for comfort food and not wanting to cook it themselves may enjoy an evening at Phat Phillies, a restaurant specializing in Philly cheesesteaks, served with waffle fries.
Our Ranch Acres Homes
Our homes in Ranch Acres were built for families, and today, they are still the place where families live, love, and visit. Sidewalks often cut through the grass, leading to the front door, and as the kiddos race ahead, eager to start this Oklahoma adventure, parents may move more slowly, checking out the flowers, the smell of freshly cut grass, and the front porch furnished with a chair or two. Once inside, the rooms in these houses may be very different from more modern floor plans as the rooms are often separated by walls, each room serving a specific purpose, rather than offering the open concept floor plans that are common in today’s homes. But even before you begin this tour of comfort and style, take a moment to listen for the echoes of the families that have come before you.
The Public Spaces
Napping on the sofa on a lazy Wednesday morning, noticing the differences between the news channel you watch at home and the one you are watching in Oklahoma, or sitting in front of a fire on a chilly winter day—these are all activities you can enjoy at home, but somehow they are much more pleasurable in our Ranch Acres living rooms.
The dining rooms are where family meals can be devoured, games of solitaire can be played, and major announcements are made. This is where your daughter announces she was accepted to her first choice college, your son brings up the topic of a girl that he thinks is worth spending forever with, and so many dad jokes are told and groaned over. Finally, the kitchens are the heart of the home, and whether you use them to make a meal or not, your wine will always be chilled to the right temperature, and your morning jolt of caffeine is just a cup away.
Another World
Although many of today’s new builds are known for their postage stamp-sized yards, large yards were the norm when our Ranch Acres homes were built, and these spaces are destined to be popular with the entire family. Fenced in for your family’s safety and convenience, there may be mature trees shading its expanse, comfortable patio furniture waiting to be relaxed in, barbecue grills begging to have its racks filled with your favorite meats, and maybe, a cornhole game, a fire pit, or some other fun amenity that add fun to your vacation adventures.
