Quail Creek Oklahoma City, OK

Winding streets around a sprawling golf course

Golf • Shopping • Suburban

About 13 miles north of downtown Oklahoma City, Quail Creek is a peaceful, tree-lined community built around the Quail Creek Golf and Country Club. Mature shade trees line wide residential streets, and the golf course at the neighborhood's center sets a calm, unhurried tone throughout. Walking and biking the broad streets is easy enough, though a car is the most practical way to reach nearby shopping in Quail Springs and Chisholm Creek.

Housing here leans heavily toward spacious single-family homes on generous lots, with a range of architectural styles to match. Midcentury ranch-style builds from the 1970s share the streets with French-influenced designs and sleek contemporary homes, most featuring circular driveways, side-set garages, and green lawns.

The Quail Creek Homeowners Association keeps the community calendar active year-round, organizing an Independence Day parade and fireworks show alongside a Christmas celebration with live entertainment and a visit from Santa.
