More about Hillcrest HealthCare System
Owasso sits minutes from Tulsa and comes up in local coverage for small-town charm, a relatively low cost of living, affordable family-friendly housing, highly rated schools, and strong livability and safety scores, with quick access to Tulsa amenities when you want them. Plan on driving. Work commutes run longer than average, public transportation is limited, and Tulsa-area traffic can spill over. Nightlife is limited, severe weather is part of the calendar, and some crime spillover from the Tulsa area gets noted. Oklahoma is a compact-license state with a graduated state income tax. Nearby names in the area include The Highlands at Owasso and Fresenius Medical Care if you are comparing options.
