Gilcrease Hills Neighborhood Guide

Gilcrease Hills sits on the elevated northwest edge of Tulsa, where rolling terrain and mature tree cover give the neighborhood a distinct sense of remove from the rest of the city while still keeping downtown well within reach. The area wraps around the Gilcrease Museum, one of the country's foremost collections of American West art and history, lending the neighborhood an unusual cultural anchor that most residential streets can't claim. Yards here run generous, neighbors tend them seriously, and the winding roads offer the kind of sunset views over the Osage Hills that people describe to out-of-town guests. The tradeoff is a landscape that wildlife treats as shared territory and roads that show their age after a hard winter. For residents who want old Tulsa quiet, room to breathe, and something worth looking at from the front porch, Gilcrease Hills tends to hold onto people.
