Tulsa Hills Neighborhood Guide

Tulsa Hills occupies the southwest side of the city, anchored by the Tulsa Hills Shopping Center along US 75 and bordered by the rolling terrain that feeds into Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area. The neighborhood draws residents who want the convenience of big-box retail and a solid restaurant lineup within a short drive, while still having legitimate trail access close enough to use on a weeknight. Albert G's has built a loyal following for its barbecue, and Turkey Mountain offers some of the best sunset views in the city without requiring much of a commute to reach them. The tradeoff is a stretch of busy commercial corridor that slows considerably on weekends, when the parking lots around the shopping center fill and traffic backs up along the main approaches. For people who want suburban ease without giving up outdoor access, Tulsa Hills delivers both within the same zip code.
