The overview

In the shadow of the downtown skyline, Heritage Hills is where Oklahoma City's founding families built their mansions — and where, a century later, the city's most storied streets are thriving again.

Built largely between the 1900s and 1920s by the oil barons, bankers, and merchants who made Oklahoma City, Heritage Hills is one of the city's original prestige neighborhoods — and one of its first designated historic preservation districts, which protects the character that makes it irreplaceable.

That protection is a real advantage for homeowners: the streetscape you fall in love with is the streetscape that stays. Buyers here trade cookie-cutter for craftsmanship — grand staircases, original millwork, carriage houses — and a neighborhood identity few addresses in Oklahoma can match.

Landmark architecture

The 1903 Overholser Mansion at NW 15th and Hudson — now a museum — sets the tone: Colonial Revival, Neoclassical, and Prairie-style homes line the district's brick-accented streets, and the neighborhood's annual historic homes tour draws visitors from across the region.

Midtown at your doorstep

Walk south and you're in Midtown — one of OKC's best dining and entertainment districts — with the Paseo Arts District, Automobile Alley, and downtown's business core all within a few minutes. Few historic neighborhoods anywhere offer this much city this close.

Getting around

Bounded roughly by NW 14th to NW 22nd between Walker and Robinson, Heritage Hills sits about five minutes from downtown and the medical district, with quick access to I-235 and the Broadway Extension.
