Why home buyers and sellers in Tulsa should consider the Gathering Place
Inside the Gathering Place
Forever Home Inspection began and continues to be headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Even as we expand across Oklahoma and Iowa, Tulsa is still close to our heart. As we’ve watched the city grow in the past few years, one of the most exciting developments has been the creation of the Gathering Place, a 66-acre city park (100 acres when fully finished) alongside the bank of the Arkansas River.
Even in 2016, when the park was still only under construction, prices in houses among Brookside (a neighborhood near the park) were surging, the area already anticipating the opportunities the park would bring. In 2018, two months before the Gathering Place opened, News Channel 8 reported that house prices in midtown near the park had increased 18 to 20 percent in the past three years. The construction of the Gathering Place brought along other improvements to the neighborhoods, including repaved roads, new sidewalks, and new landscaping alongside the street and river. Along with the already robust Brookside and Midtown scene, with restaurants, boutiques, walkability, and a Trader Joe’s, the Gathering Place offers an even more family-friendly addition to the area.
In short: it’s an exciting time to be both a homeowner and home buyer in Tulsa, especially if you’re looking for world-class attractions that bring the city to you!
