New condominiums and apartments will provide additional options for
smaller households, young people, and empty nesters.
Based on the forecast used for the PLANiTULSA
process, the demand for single-family homes
will continue as the strongest housing type,
with about 31,000 new units needed. Demand
for multi-family units, such as apartments and
condos, will be about 13,000 units. About 4,000
units of townhomes will be needed.
Affordable, single-family housing remains a
top priority for Tulsans.
Plan Chapter
Housing
A newcomer to Tulsa in the future will have a
wide range of housing choices, from beautiful
early 20th century homes, to classic suburban
neighborhoods. Most of Tulsa’s housing
stock will consist of single-family homes in
neighborhoods, but will include a broader
range of apartments and condominiums
in downtown, along corridors, and in new
neighborhoods and centers. Young families
will be able to find townhomes and traditional
detached homes in new neighborhoods, all
within walking distance of schools and parks.
Empty nesters, looking to downsize to smaller,
more manageable homes, will also have
many options.
