Oklahoma City Neighborhoods, Locations and Oklahoma City Districts
(Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - OK, USA)



Oklahoma City was designed on a grid system, making the central districts and neighborhoods in the city easy to navigate. Streets based on a number system run from east to west in Oklahoma City, while north to south running streets have been given names. Much of the city suffered from neglect during the economic slump of the 1980s and Oklahoma City's redevelopment during the '90s has attracted considerable tourism.

Once dilapidated, many interesting locations, historic districts and important neighborhoods in Oklahoma City have now been revitalized and restored. Most of the attractions and museums lie north of downtown Oklahoma City, while Stockyards City is situated to the southwest of Bricktown. Here are the main districts in Oklahoma City.




Oklahoma City Locations and Districts: Bricktown / Downtown District - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (OK), USA
Bricktown has been a popular district in Oklahoma City for decades, taking its name after the huge brick buildings that were constructed here by railroad companies in the late 1800s. With the introduction of a manmade canal a few years ago, the area has now taken off and has become the tourist hub of the city. Water taxis can be taken along the canal, with stops at attractions along the way, while walking along the banks of the canal is equally pleasurable. Bursting with eateries and entertainment venues, Oklahoma City's Bricktown is the most popular tourist hangout in the city, particularly in the evenings, while the greater downtown area boasts popular attractions such as the Myriad Botanical Gardens and the Oklahoma City National Memorial.

Oklahoma City Locations and Districts: Capitol Hill Main Street District - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (OK), USA
Located south of downtown, this district is the hub of Oklahoma City's Latino commerce and you could be fooled into thinking you were in Mexico on some of the district's street corners, where Spanish is widely spoken. The area contains a number of restaurants, retail outlets and other venues, but development here has been slow to take off.

Oklahoma City Locations and Districts: Asia District - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (OK), USA
Boasting the largest Asian population in the state of Oklahoma, the Asia district of Oklahoma City encompasses a diverse range of Asian flavors including Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese, evident at the district's supermarkets and eateries. With the heart of the district focused along Classen Boulevard from 22nd Street to NW 30th, near to Oklahoma City University, the area offers everything from specialty Asian shops to takeaways and restaurants.

Oklahoma City Locations and Districts: Paseo Arts District - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (OK), USA
Developed in 1929 as the city's first commercial shopping district, Paseo Arts District became home of the city's main artistic community. Located just north of downtown Oklahoma City, along Paseo Drive and between North Walker Avenue and NW 28th Street, the area has a strong Spanish influence and the buildings here are complete with clay roof tiles and stucco. If you are looking for a bar or restaurant in Oklahoma City with a Hispanic element to the place; this is the district to head.

Oklahoma City Locations and Districts: Stockyards City - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (OK), USA
This district of Oklahoma City is known as Stockyard City, due to it hosting the largest cattle feeder market in the world. Situated at the Agnew exit south of I-40 to Exchange Avenue, the area's turn-of-the-century architecture and its Western-style shop fronts make it a popular place to tour and get a feel for Oklahoma City's rich cowboy heritage. You will also find many 'steak and potato' joints here serving up nothing less than pure beef.
