Let me put it this way OKC metro was so bad, Me and my family moved back to Chicago !!

IMO, OKC north of quail springs mall $$$ and NW expressway and rockwell are okay parts. Moore and Norman are okay if you don't mind OU traffic and Tornadoes !! Edmond is okay but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and has a HUGE "Underground" drug issue at Schools. My brothers best friend is a Edmond cop and has told us about the REAL Edmond

I would say 80% of the city is NOT safe to live in, I was a victim of crime several times in Edmond and Norman(Auto burglary/Theft and 3 road rage incidents(Police said they were on drugs), NEVER had anything happen to me when I lived in other major cities in the US.

Sorry folks the TRUTH HURTS !!

We sure missed your informative posts.

I think I can speak for all of us (except for Bawac and Atlguy) that we are glad you escaped the mean streets of OKC for the safety of Chicago.

I have several friends and a relative who live at 63rd and Meridian, and I'm in the area often because of them. It's quite safe.

How is it "BS" when it's true? All of your posts sound like 100% BS. None of my friends nor family have had ANY incidents at their homes in this area.

I go walk/jog in downtown OKC late at night often and have had nothing happen to me.

Did you ever try walking downtown in OKC at night??

I've lived downtown for almost 3 years now. I walk through downtown to get to West Village/Film Row and to get up to Midtown. I walk through downtown nearly every night around sunset for walks with my wife. Most weekends we walk at night to go out with friends in the areas around downtown. We've walked through downtown at 2am our fair share. Never once have we felt unsafe or seen any crime. There are occasionally homeless people laying on benches or wandering the streets, but in the few instances where they even said anything it was a "hey there" or "have a nice night". After we got married, a homeless man with clear mental problems, cat called my wife. He then realized she was wearing a wedding dress and approached us to apologize and wish us a happy life together.

Downtown OKC and the surrounding areas (Bricktown, Deep Deuce, Midtown, Automobile Alley, and increasingly Film Row/West Village) are about as safe as you can ask for.

Stop being ridiculous and acting like OKC is some crime infested city, where every inch of it is unsafe. It has its unsafe areas, like every city. Downtown is not one of those areas.

Well maybe so, but now 63th and Meridian? You have old people who have lived in their houses for 50 years and upwardly mobile minority types who have bought the houses where the old people have moved out or died. It doesn't get any more dangerous than that.

I really appreciate you guys chiming in. It's so hard to get a feel for whether it's actually unsafe in some places, or if it's just "different" and somebody is terrified of it. It sounds like having been comfortable in the core for some time, we might be fine in this area as well. I look forward to having upwardly mobile minority types as neighbors for once.
