It has two neighborhood parks, Florence Park and Pratt Park, and a strong neighborhood association.
Most Florence Park homes were built with two bedrooms and one bathroom. Most Florence Park buyers want more than that.
That’s not a problem. It’s the story of the neighborhood. Over the decades, many of these homes have been expanded, opened up, and updated, while keeping the front porches and the character that made people fall for them in the first place.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Florence Park, Tulsa, here’s what to know.
What Is Florence Park, Tulsa Like?
Florence Park sits in midtown Tulsa, bounded roughly by 15th Street on the north, 21st Street on the south, Harvard Avenue on the east, and the Broken Arrow Expressway on the west. The neighborhood was platted in the 1920s and pieced together from several subdivisions.
The homes
Most homes in Florence Park were built in the 1920s and 1930s. Craftsman bungalows dominate, with Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival homes mixed in, plus a few later houses. Lots are typically about 50 feet wide and 130 feet deep, which leaves room for backyards, gardens, and, in many cases, additions.
Many homes started out with two bedrooms and one bath. Plenty have since been expanded, so you’ll find everything from original-footprint cottages to fully renovated homes with modern kitchens and extra bedrooms on the same street.
Two parks in one neighborhood
Florence Park has two parks, which is a lot for a neighborhood this size.
- Florence Park, the city park at 1936 S. Gary Ave., has a water play area that the City of Tulsa opens for the summer season.
- Pratt Park, in the middle of the neighborhood on Florence Avenue, has play equipment, picnic tables, and a grill. Neighbors raised matching funds to improve it, and volunteers planted trees there in 2013.
A real neighborhood association
The Florence Park neighborhood association meets regularly and organizes block parties, tree plantings, and safety awareness efforts. If you want neighbors who know your name, this is that kind of place.
Location
Florence Park’s location is one of its biggest selling points. The Broken Arrow Expressway on the west side gets you downtown or out to the suburbs quickly, and the restaurants and shops along Cherry Street, on 15th Street, are a short drive west.

Can You Add On to a Florence Park Home?
For many buyers, this is the big question, and it’s usually the right one to ask.
Florence Park isn’t an HP-zoned district
Florence Park isn’t one of Tulsa’s historic preservation (HP) zoning districts, which are listed by the Tulsa Preservation Commission. That means exterior changes don’t go through the commission’s design review the way they do in neighborhoods like North Maple Ridge or Swan Lake.
You’ll still need to follow the City of Tulsa’s standard zoning and permit rules, including setbacks and lot coverage. Before you buy a home planning to expand it, confirm what’s allowed on that lot with the city and get a rough estimate from a contractor.
Buying an already-expanded home
If the home you love has been expanded, ask:
- Was the addition permitted? Ask for permit records and any final inspections.
- How was it tied in? Have your inspector look closely at where the new and old parts of the house meet, including the roof, foundation, and drainage.
- What was updated along with it? Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC may have been upgraded in one part of the house and not the other.
Buying an original bungalow
If you’re buying a home with its original footprint, budget for the age of the house. Get a thorough inspection, consider a sewer line scope, and pay close attention to the roof, foundation, and electrical system. If you’re planning to renovate later, factor that into your offer now. Our step-by-step guide to buying a home in Tulsa walks through how inspections fit into the process.
What Else Should Buyers Check?
- School assignment. Florence Park is in Tulsa Public Schools. Many listings show Lanier Elementary, at 1727 S. Harvard Ave., for Florence Park addresses, but middle and high school assignments vary. TPS has also proposed closing or consolidating 17 school sites for the 2027–28 school year, so confirm the current and planned assignment for any address with the district.
- Property taxes. Florence Park is in Tulsa County. Oklahoma’s annual caps don’t apply in the year a home sells, so your tax bill can be higher than the seller’s. Our Oklahoma property tax guide explains how to estimate it and file your homestead exemption.
- Highway noise. Homes on the western edge sit near the Broken Arrow Expressway. Visit at rush hour if that matters to you.
- Roof and insurance. Ask about the roof’s age and get an insurance quote during your inspection period. In Oklahoma, roof age can make a real difference in your premium.
Selling a Home in Florence Park?
Florence Park buyers know what they’re looking for, and they’re often comparing homes street by street. To get the most for yours:
- Document improvements. Permits for additions, a newer roof, updated electrical or HVAC, and kitchen or bath remodels all matter to buyers.
- Show the space. If you’ve expanded, make the added bedrooms and baths easy to see in your photos and listing.
- Price against the right comps. An expanded, updated home shouldn’t be priced like an original bungalow, and vice versa.
