The city of Tulsa covers over 181 square miles--an area roughly three times the size of Washington DC. This large city footprint allows Tulsa's communities to take on a personality much their own. Midtown Tulsa is a largely residential district occupying land just south of Downtown on the east bank of the Arkansas River stretching further eastward. This area, Tulsa's historical residential core, consists mostly of large upscale homes built in the early 1900's with architecture ranging from art deco to Greek Revival. This area also includes several neighborhoods of more modest but well-preserved American Craftsman style homes. This area is home to the Philbrook Museum, as well as Tulsa's premier upscale shopping district, Utica Square, the historic Cherry Street district, the Southroads and Promenade shopping centers, and the Brookside entertainment and dining district. South Tulsa, a large area between 61st Street and 121st Street, was mostly undeveloped before the 1980s, but now contains Tulsa's largest shopping base (mostly in the form of chain retail stores) after 20 years of continuous construction booms. Upscale homes, malls and some of the city's most prestigious schools are located in this hilly and secluded area. Oral Roberts University, the Creek Nation Casino, Southern Hills Country Club, and most of the city's current river-side shopping and entertainment are located here. West Tulsa, a largely residential area occupying the entire city area west of the Arkansas River, has some of the city's largest parks and wilderness reserves, which are the site of many of the city's annual events (including the Tulsa Oktoberfest). The area is also a testament to Tulsa's history in the oil industry, and still contains several large oil refineries. North Tulsa is is home to a large percentage of Tulsa's African-American community. The area's Booker T. Washington High School, Tulsa’s African-American high school during the segregation era and now a magnet school, was recently judged to be the 58th best high school in the nation by Newsweek Magazine. Also included in this area is the jazzy Greenwood Historical District, the internationally famous Gilcrease Museum, the Tulsa International Airport, the Tulsa Zoo, the Tulsa Air and Space Museum, and the nation's third-largest municipal park, Mohawk Park. Revitalization along the Arkansas River and landmark projects such as Downtown's BOK Center are parts of an ongoing massive city-wide revitalization plan.
