We're house hunting in the OKC area and we've covered almost all the 800 square miles from north to south and east to west. We don't want a regular neighborhood house with the open plan that has become so popular. Yesterday we found two houses for sale in the area of NW44th and Portland. It looks to be an old (mid-1920's) upscale area and seems to have been well-maintained.

We lived in the Tinker AFB area for almost 40 years before moving to NW Washington state for eight years. We know the SE OKC and Edmond areas pretty well, but know nothing about the area where these houses are. Do you have any suggestions/ideas/warnings about that part of town?

Thanks.
