Finding Your Place in Norman OK

Located in the heart of Oklahoma, just 20 miles south of the state capital, Norman is the third-largest city in the state and the hub of Cleveland County. While part of the greater Oklahoma City metropolitan area, it is not technically its suburb and has its own distinct economy, culture, and identity. However, because of its proximity to the capital, many people who live in Norman work, shop, and socialize in Oklahoma City, and vice versa.

What Should Your Wallet Expect in Norman?

Renting or owning a home in Norman will cost you less than the national average, but the comparison most worth making is with the nearby Oklahoma City. While rent, household income, and per capita income in Norman are at about the same level as in the state capital, house values are about 14 percent higher here, on average.

The slightly higher prices for housing units in Norman could be in part attributed to it being home to the University of Oklahoma, which has a large student population, around 25,000 students enrolled at the Norman campus, and a significant number of faculty and staff.

How About Getting an Education in Norman?

Norman K-12 public schools are highly rated and this is a decisive factor for families with children looking to move around here. There are 17 elementary schools, four middle schools, and two high schools to choose from in the Norman Public Schools district, and alternative education is also available via Dimensions Academy and NPS ExpandED.

As far as higher education is concerned, students can choose between the 15 colleges at the University of Oklahoma, hundreds of short-term classes, and over 30 career programs at Moore Norman Technology Center. Going a bit further north, the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics offers courses in biology, chemistry, computer science, geoscience, engineering, literature, history, mathematics, and physics.

Tip for students: When going home for the summer, consider renting self storage units for your papers, books, and seasonal belongings. Storage unit sizes vary from small closets to large 10' x 30' spaces; you won't need much space for your things but it might be a better investment if you rent a larger unit and share it with trustworthy colleagues.
