Reasons to Come Back

Family & Friends

Reconnect and be closer to family and old friends. Watch the magic when children grow up near their grandparents. Enjoy the comfort of the network you once relied on.

Oklahoma has at least six thriving Young Professionals groups who are making a big difference in their communities.

Move & Shake

Plug into a more influential network faster in Oklahoma. Gain easier access to the people and resources you need to move your career forward, quicker. Don't be just another face in the crowd; instead, stand out in a less crowded field.

You Control the Pace

Average 15 minute commute times. Lots less traffic. Fewer lines. Smaller crowds. Shorter wait times at restaurants (and sometimes no wait time!).

Affordability

Let's face it. Your dollar goes a lot further in Oklahoma. A stable housing market with markedly lower property taxes means you'll own much more home in Oklahoma than just about anywhere else. That makes raising a family or retirement a lot more attractive in Oklahoma. BusinessWeek recently named Oklahoma City the top city for renters.

Oklahoma’s strong, diverse economy means unemployment is low and jobs are plenty.

Top Places to Live

Tulsa was recently ranked #1 and Oklahoma City #10 as the top places to live by relocateamercia.com. Forbes ranked Tulsa #5 and Oklahoma City #10 as America's most livable cities. Forbes also ranked Tulsa #2 among mid-size cities and Oklahoma City #9 among large cities for job growth in 2009.

Make a Difference

Oklahoma is thriving. A renaissance is taking place all over the state, spurred by the Centennial celebration, Oklahoma City's downtown transformation, the growth of Oklahoma's "bedroom communities" into destinations for shopping and entertainment, Tulsa's Vision 2025 projects. Be a part of the excitement. Feel your Oklahoma pride swell as you participate in the rebirth of this great state.

Have it All

With Oklahoma's 13 unique ecosystems and four distinct seasons, you don't have to choose between mountain and valley, between hot sunny days and crisp snowy nights, between city life or country life. Go rock climbing in the morning (at over 100 climbs), grab a cuppa joe and some free wireless time at one of our great coffee houses in the afternoon, and go listen to live music in your pick of genre or catch an Oklahoma City Thunder NBA game.

Leave a Legacy

Did you know Oklahomans are the most charitable in the country? Giving more charitable time and volunteer hours per capita than anywhere else. Our state has a culture that is geared toward helping others. And a Cambridge University study recently named us among the friendliest in the nation. Come home, where your Oklahoma charm and generosity will be valued and leave a legacy you can be proud of.
