Moving to Oklahoma City With Russell Carter

Moving to Oklahoma City With Russell Carter

Hi! My name is Russell Carter and this channel is about living in Oklahoma City.

I am a husband, father and a real estate agent here in the Oklahoma City Metro. At 30 years of age I was a multi-Emmy Award winning news reporter for one of the top NBC affiliates in the country, but decided to walk away. There I was, a Californian living in Oklahoma and walking away from my so-called “dream job.”

So, I know what it’s like to make major life changes.

This channel will focus on city and community tours of the Oklahoma City Metro. Tours of new construction, cost of Living , and Pros and Cons. So please, subscribe to the channel so we can stay connected.

    I have not done one in Iron Horse yet, and I almost bought a Jeff Click house a couple of years ago. Iron Horse is a good spot. It's near I-35 as well as shopping and restaurants, but you're also a mile or two away so they're not on top of you.

    First time I was in piedmont ws 1986. It was literally just the one street where the church was maybe had a couple of hundred people. Now it has exploded. Nice neighborhoods with large to huge homes. It's still finding an identity and is definitely a bedroom community. There is little retail and most of the jobs are the school district. But retail isn't far away yukon 10 min south okc 15 mins east . More important is if you want a home with a yard a lot of homes have at least 1/2 acre. The town is really spread out with enough room to grow over a 100k residents and still plenty of area .

    I’ve lived in Midtown/Uptown for over 25 years. My in-laws lived in Fairview Farms and I worked off of 150th. Most hateful place I’ve ever been to. Couldn’t pay me to move there. Pulling teeth to even go to Memorial. My in-laws never knew any of their neighbors, all of our neighbors have pride flags and aren’t even gay! We’re all on group chat. No thank you.

I loved it there, but it gets a worse rap then it deserves from okc residents sadly. I think its a great option for starting out and I wanna see how it is a few years later cuz I'm considering moving back Edit: also great job with the camera work, editing, and landscape views.

    I live in northern California and can’t stand it for many reasons. I’m conservative, and am basically a political minority here. The cost of living is outrageous, with gas north of $5 a gallon, and rent/home prices keep going up. I’d probably lean more towards Tulsa, but I like that OKC is a reasonable distance from there. Keeping options open.

    It's right next to Nichols Hills (old money) so they benefit from the proximity. There are a lot of cute older homes. With that being said there are some sketchy areas that are dominated by rentals. It's just as important to check out the neighborhood as well as the house.

    Oklahoma is great. I live in Enid. Great town. We are mostly conservative. Most of us are even too conservative for Fox news. Being conservative just means that you don't want to be pushed into stuff by the government. Which leads me to comment on your flag statement. 😂 Depends on how pissed off we are at the government. Seriously though, all we really want is a safe place to freely raise our children. I've lived in more places than most people have even visited. Oklahoma is a great place to be a family man.
