owasso oklahoma: Owasso, Oklahoma Neighborhoods with Pools
- 05/02/17 07:27 AM
Owasso, Oklahoma Neighborhoods with Pools If you're going to be moving to Owasso, Oklahoma, you might be interested in finding a neighborhood with a pool. While we have lots of Owasso homes that have their own backyard pools, sometimes you don't want to be hassled with pool maintenance and the cost of running a pool. That's because, if you've ever owned a pool in Oklahoma, you know all about yellow and black algae, the rising cost of pool chemicals and that wonderful Oklahoma wind that comes sweeping down the plains, blowing every leaf in the neighborhood into your leaf collection hole in (2 comments)
You know how it goes. They say, "Hey uh, do you have a phone charger I can borrow?" Then you go scrambling around to find the one you have behind your bed. Or in your office. Or wherever it was you left it last. And when you find it, they're all like, "Oh my gosh! Thank you SO much. My phone was at 1% and about to die!" Then they spend the rest of the evening standing by wherever (76 comments)
owasso oklahoma: Oklahoma Osage Orange
- 08/29/15 10:07 PM
Here in the Owasso Oklahoma area we live on the edge of the awesome prairie as well as the edge of the Ozark mountains which stretch into Missouri and Arkasas. That means we have a very unique landscape that offers fun surprises at times, such as this Oklahoma Osage Orange. I came across this softball sized oddity one day while I was out showing property in the Oologah, Oklahoma area. It's called an Oklahoma Osage Orange but is also known as a Monkey Ball, Hedge Ball, Horse Apple, Green Brains or even a Mock Orange. In Texas, I'm told they're called Horse (12 comments)
owasso oklahoma: This is Owasso, Oklahoma
- 08/23/15 05:15 AM
The plant that you see in this picture is called a Crepe Myrtle. They're a part of the Oklahoma landscape. Often you find them in gardens, around homes and as decorative shrubbery along streets or neighborhood entrances. I don't know if Crepe Myrtles are native to Oklahoma or not, but they've been here as long as I have. Today, we have a variety of colors from white to light purple to pink and my favorite, firecracker red. I've seen some Owasso Oklahoma Crepe Myrtles growing as tall as 15-20 feet. And everyone really loves about these hearty shrubs is that you can literally cut (4 comments)
owasso oklahoma: Owasso Oklahoma Housing Market Report August 2015
- 08/20/15 03:01 AM
It's been quite a year so far in the world of Real Estate here in Oklahoma. The housing market continues to recover and strengthen, although not as quickly in Owasso as in other parts of the world. This is largely because our housing values rise slow and steady. That means when the wheels fell off the housing market, our values didn't fall off the cliff nearly as much as many other areas, such as the coasts. Here's a quick tour of the Owasso, Oklahoma housing market on August 20, 2015. First, a chart for those who like numbers and organization of facts.

owasso oklahoma: Speechless Sunday - The Old Truck
- 06/05/11 01:44 AM
I'm not sure who decided to drag or haul what is left of this truck into the woods, but it has been there ever since at least 1997 when Diane and I moved to Owasso Oklahoma. It sits at the intersection of 177th East Avenue and 86th Street North. Even though the sign says "No Trespassing", there isn't anything to go tresspassing for. No house. No barn. No anything except for the over grown woods. There is the truck cab, of course. But since the sign says to stay off the property, I've never wandered out to check out the old (11 comments)
owasso oklahoma: Speechless Sunday - The Old Bridge
- 04/03/11 01:57 AM
I was driving back from Skiatook to Owasso Oklahoma yesterday when I saw this picture perfect sight. Just by the bend in the road was this old iron bridge. The road is closed and doesn't cross it anymore, but it has been left in place, a remnant from the past. You will notice, if you look carefully, that the present surrounds the old bridge. There is a new house just to the left of the picture and just in front of the bridge also. Scenes like this are on of the reasons I love living in the northern area of (12 comments)
Owasso Oklahoma isn't typically known to be a place where we have tons of snow in the winter time. However, the winter of 2011 has proven to be a record setter. Owasso Oklahoma received 21 inches of snow the first week of February 2011 with the air temperature hovering around freezing and below. Then, the next week Owasso Oklahoma received another 8-10 inches! And the temperatures continued to not only hover around the freezing mark, but it dipped well below with Nowata Oklahoma setting an all time low of 30 below zero. Schools in (17 comments)
If you're familiar with the Owasso and Collinsville Oklahoma area, you know that our city has a variety of homes in areas from city neighborhoods to country neighborhoods. We have new housing, older houses and remodeled homes as well. And while lots of folks love the look and feel of new construction, others prefer homes with land where their neighbor isn't right next door. Such is the case with this great home, located at 11418 North 123rd East Avenue in Owasso Oklahoma. This beautiful home was originally built in 1971 and is (5 comments)
owasso oklahoma: Signs of Life in Owasso Oklahoma Real Estate
- 01/18/11 05:59 AM
Oklahoma is an interesting place to live. We're located in the middle part of the country. We're pretty conservative. We have people from all over the place who live here. And our cost of living is very low and usually very stable. Usually, our local economy follows the national economy. For example, here in Owasso, our housing market seemed to bottom out in July of 2010. Phones quit ringing. Sales were off - way off. And Realtors® started talking about how they might have to look for other work so they could eat. In the meantime, the national economy had already (5 comments)
owasso oklahoma: Speechless Sunday - Here's One Way to Get Rid of Moles in Your Oklahoma Yard
- 11/28/10 12:50 AM
Here in Owasso Oklahoma, we seem to have a mole problem. As you drive down the highways and around town, you can see their brown dirt heaps from where they've been tunneling through the ground. Moles, like groundhogs and other burrowing creatures are very dangerous if you own cattle or horses. Large animals can step into their holes or tunnels and easily break a leg. If you live in the city, they're a nuisance because they mess up your yard. I understand that there are lots of ways to get rid of moles, including something called Poison Peanuts that you can (7 comments)
owasso oklahoma: Welcome to McDonalds in Owasso, Oklahoma!
- 11/15/10 07:40 AM
Welcome to McDonalds in Owasso, Oklahoma! Now, that seems like an odd title doesn't it? And maybe even writing about McDonalds may seem like an odd thing to do. But in the famous words of John Pinette, I say "Nay, Nay!" Knowing where your local McDonalds is located is something that is inherent. In fact, because I just made that statement, you're probably already envisioning in your mind where your favorite or closest McDonalds is right now. However, when traveling you don't always know where the local McDonalds is, and that can be a problem. Oh sure, you can do a (19 comments)
owasso oklahoma: Speechless Sunday - Owasso Oklahoma Sunset
- 11/07/10 01:15 AM
I grew up in Oklahoma and have lived here most of my life. We're located in the center of the United States and in what they call the "plains." Our country is pretty flat too, except for the Northeastern and Southern parts of our state. And we have lots of wind here too at times. A 20-40 mile per hour wind blowing all day long is just another day to us! Back when I was a kid, Tulsa had all sorts of flooding problems because, with all that flat land there wasn't anywhere for all the rain to go in heavy downpours. I (12 comments)

So you're looking at buying a house in Lake Valley in Owasso Oklahoma, right? And maybe you've found a great house. But what street is it on? And what is up with those Lake Valley streets anyway? They have East Avenues and Places and Street Norths. And all those Lake Valley streets twist and turn in all sorts of directions. Recently I did a search to see how up to date Google is in mapping this new Owasso Oklahoma neighborhood. As of this writing, they're not very up to date. So I went driving around Lake Valley, wrote down the streets, (1 comments)
Lake Valley is an Owasso Oklahoma neighborhood that offers existing and new homes for sale from $130,000 to $160,000. Homes in the Lake Valley neighborhood range in size from 1200 square feet to 1800 square feet (more or less). If you're from other areas of the country, you might expect to have a basement in your Lake Valley home. However, this is not the case. Most newer Northeastern Oklahoma homes do not have basements. This is because the water table is very high in Oklahoma and basement flooding can be a major issue. As (9 comments)

- 08/13/10 06:37 AM
The swimming pool season is often thought of as going from Memorial Day to Labor Day here in Oklahoma. But many pool owners are finding that they can open their Oklahoma Swimming pools around April and enjoy them through September or October, depending on the weather. Before long, many Owasso Oklahoma Swimming Pool owners will be closing their pools. And when it comes time to close your Owasso Oklahoma Swimming Pool, you'll need a good Owasso Oklahoma Swimming Pool Company. Here in Owasso Oklahoma, we have several excellent swimming pool companies to choose from: Aquatech Pools & Spas104 East 2nd Avenue (2 comments)

- 07/03/10 03:27 AM
It was graduation time at Owasso High School. The year was 1985. Diane and I and our daughter sat in the auditorium watching and cheering for many of her friends who were graduating. We knew many of these kids because we had been on staff of a large church in our town for several years. We watched them grow up. That night Andrew Looney graduated. I can't say that I knew Andrew. And I can't even say that I remember specifically when he crossed the stage that night. I wish I did because Andrew Looney went on to serve America by (13 comments)
