I’m in CA and thinking of moving to Oaklahoma. Travel a lot and spent some time there. Liked it. Are you happy there?
So far so good. We left the chaos of Orange County and moved to southern Oklahoma in a rural area. Our house is on 5 acres with oak, pecan, and elm trees and it feels like I'm living in a park, but I have to mow the park. I'm retired so I don't know much about the local job situation, but I've learned that rural Oklahoma is the land of the side-gig. People have regular jobs and many of them have tractors, skid steers, stump grinders, chain saws, welders, and an endless supply of power tools, so if you have some overwhelming project you're facing it's easy to find someone willing to do the job for a reasonable fee while making themselves some extra cash.
Compared to California, these are things I like about OK: People are much friendlier, $2.30 gasoline, $69 registration for my 10yo truck, Constitutional carry, dining out is cheaper, no traffic within 75 miles, no smog alerts, driving country roads just to explore, no quinceaneras with live bands until 1am, closest neighbor is 300 feet away, Starlink, sitting on the porch watching thunderstorms, quirky yard art, scissor tails, and 95% less woke bs in general.
Things I don't like about OK: Healthcare. It's easy to get in to see a doctor and the local hospital is okay, but seeing a specialist sometimes involves a 2-3 month wait or half a day spent driving to Norman or OKC and back. I miss the number and variety of restaurants in OC. There's 5 Costcos or Sam's within 75 miles, but they're all 70-75 miles out in 4 different directions. We often combine doctor visits, Sam's/Costco, and a nice restaurant into a single trip.
Tornadoes suck, 2/3rds happen at night which adds to the unease, but big ones are rare, the moderate ones affect relatively small areas and most hit empty areas thanks to all the open spaces. The earthquakes in California are worse in my opinion.
Sonic booms. Nothing get the house shaking and adrenaline pumping like a peaceful day interrupted by a sonic boom. We probably get 2 a month when the weather's nice and it's almost always T38's out of Sheppard AFB in Texas. Then there's that jerk in the F1 Mirage that made a couple of passes over us last March before heading back to the Dallas area.
TLDR: Yeah, I'm happy here.
Great info, thank you! I too am retired. We live in central valley in the country. We downsized when I retired and moved to the country. Live on couple acres with two homes, one for our son/DIL and young grandkids. We travel in our RV and spent time in Oklahoma, as well as many other states. We stayed near OKC and checked out the area (Bricktown and the OKC bombing site). Last time through we stayed in Weatherford (RV park there). We would like to get out of CA. Would have left when I retired but ..grandkids we are close too. Would love to move us all to Oklahoma (my preference). Wife worries about tornadoes. Her mom was originally from Oklahoma, and our daughter in law has cousins that live there. Felt an earthquake here a few days ago. Unusual in central valley where we are at.
We found people very friendly there in Oklahoma. We will be passing thru again in May on a long trip into Florida. Plan to spend some time there again, hoping to check out Edmond area.
Best to you, thanks for the info. MAGA on!
