A Variety of Homes
Back in the 1920s, when the Terwilleger Heights neighborhood was first being developed, planned communities were not a thing. Homes sprung from the landscape, looking nothing at all like other ones in the neighborhood, and as such, your StayInTulsaOK vacation rental could be a colonial mansion, a simple bungalow, or an adobe cottage. Today, many of these homes retain their period accents, including arched doorways, crown molding, and hardwood floors, but they have also been updated to reflect the modern conveniences to which we have all become accustomed. Listen to the whispered echoes of the past, perhaps hearing the giggles of small children, the tinny sounds of the first televisions that ever played under the roof you have chosen to make your own, and rest assured that your stay will be comfortable and luxurious.
A Walk in the Park
As with most neighborhoods, there is one park where children flock, picnics are numerous, and walking trails are filled with neighbors enjoying the waning moments of workdays and weekends. Woodward Park and Gardens is that park in Terwilleger Heights. A little fancier than most parks, this beautiful stretch of grassland is also a botanical garden and arboretum and is often used as a wedding venue, so don’t be surprised if you happen upon a happy couple during your explorations. Offering rock gardens, small bridges that cross over babbling creeks, and a red barn structure you may notice as you walk along the paths of the park. The barn was once a stable that held the horses of David R. Travis, the wealthy landowner that once owned the land here; it is said to be the oldest structure in the park, so be sure and check it out during your visit if history interests you.
Close to Utica Square
Utica Square is a shopping mall that can be found on the Eastern boundary of the Terwilleger Heights neighborhood, a mall that is more than a mall, it has become the center of the Tulsa community. Built in 1949, Utica Square could be considered the first shopping mall in the US, but at the time it was simply thought of as a shopping village. Today, Utica Square is home to over 40 boutiques and upscale department stores, restaurants, and is often a spot where many local events take place. Our guests enjoy spending time in this beautiful shopping establishment and its close proximity to our Terwilleger Heights properties will ensure that more time can be spent shopping and less time fighting Tulsa’s traffic.
Welcome to Comfort
Now that you have explored the neighborhood and some of the activities that will keep you entertained during your Oklahoma getaway, it is time to step inside and explore the comforts found there. Again, open concept floor plans are rare in these older homes, but there is something cozy about living in rooms that live up to their purpose in life. Watch television in living rooms as your teenage son lounges in the reading chair, legs slung over one arm, cell phone or portable video game in hand. Gather around the dining table in the dining rooms to discuss the adventures you have enjoyed during your Tulsa travels, and maybe, on a rainy evening, play board games to show your teen that life can still be fun when living it unplugged. Fully equipped kitchens enable tired travelers to stay in on evenings they just want some peace and quiet, enjoying meals they have created right here at home.
