You Work in Tahlequah… But Where Should You LIVE?

If you work in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to live inside the city limits. Every day, people commute into Tahlequah from Park Hill, Keys, Cookson, Hulbert, Welling, Peggs, Fort Gibson and other communities across Northeast Oklahoma. In this episode of Living in Tahlequah, I’m breaking down what it’s really like to live in and around Tahlequah and why the right location depends on much more than your drive to work. Do you want the convenience of living close to shopping, schools and work? Would you rather have acreage and privacy outside town? Maybe being closer to Lake Tenkiller is worth a longer commute. We’ll talk about the differences between these areas, rural utilities, internet, school districts, acreage, lake living and the everyday things you should consider before deciding where to live. One thing I’ve learned after more than 25 years of selling real estate in this area is this: don’t just ask how close a house is to your job. Ask yourself how you actually want to live. If you work in Tahlequah but live somewhere else, tell me in the comments: Where do you live, how long is your commute, and is it worth it?
