Bixby Homes For Sale: Find Your Forever Home

Did you know that Bixby is one of the fastest-growing cities in Oklahoma? In the past few decades, thousands of people have flocked to this hamlet, enjoying a cozy small-town vibe with easy access to Tulsa. If you’re considering a move to the area and are searching for Bixby homes for sale, Shaw Homes can help. But, first, let’s take a quick look at this steadily-growing suburb.

1. Bixby Has A Rich Agricultural History

Bixby is known as the “Garden Spot of Oklahoma.” The town has earned that distinction due to its history of agriculture, which includes the growing of vegetables, sod and pecan trees. The town even celebrates the harvest season with the annual Green Corn Festival, which includes a parade and carnival. The town also hosts a weekly farmer’s market at Charley Young Park.

2. There Are Several Annual Events

In addition to the Green Corn Festival, Bixby also is host to the Bixby BBQ & Blues Festival, which is considered the top barbecue competition in the state. In July, Bixby hosts its annual Bixby Freedom Celebration and locals can enjoy the area’s biggest displays of fireworks. The Rotary Club of Bixby also hosts an annual Christmas Parade in early December.

3. Residents Enjoy Close River Access

Bixby is nestled along the Arkansas River, which certainly accounts for agricultural bounty, but also provides a scenic backdrop for the city. The Riverwalk Trail is a two-mile trail that affords excellent river views.

The Downtown River District is a fun spot for dining and shopping as well as events such as a popular classic car show. Just a few miles away in Jenks, locals also can enjoy Riverwalk Crossing. This a popular spot that includes restaurants, the River Spirit Casino Resort and an outdoor amphitheater.

4. There Are Several Excellent Parks

If you love spending time in the great outdoors, Bixby has some top-notch parks to enjoy. Bentley Park, for instance, has won several awards for its design and includes a huge sports complex with baseball and softball fields, a myriad of soccer fields, walking trails, picnic areas, bocce ball courts, a popular splash pad and playground, as well as rodeo grounds.

Bixhoma Lake Park is a perfect spot for fishing and is stocked with bass, catfish and crappie. The park also includes boat ramps, walking trails and several picnic areas. Charley Young Even Park, where the weekly farmer’s market is held, also includes an outdoor stage, playground and more.

Washington Irving Park is perhaps the crown jewel of Bixby parks and, as the park also features an arboretum, is filled with beautiful trees. There’s also a butterfly garden, walking trails, picnic areas and memorials commemorating those lost in the Oklahoma City bombing as well as on 9/11.

5. Family-Friendly Bixby Offers Excellent Schools

Bixby Public Schools are highly regarded and known for their strong academic programs and many extracurricular activities. The school district has received various accolades for its performance. In addition to Bixby High School, the city has four elementary schools and four intermediate schools.
