I mentioned them because they are all pretty far along in gentrification and they are pretty good places to live while getting the price benefit of not being a 'better' neighborhood like Belle Isle. I just love this area of town. I can be almost anywhere in 10 minutes and all the best grocers and shopping (PSM, Classen Curve, OAK) are very nearby. And generally speaking, it's all pretty walkable (at least by non-core OKC standards).
I personally prefer mid-century ranches because they can easily be opened up and have attached garages and big yards. Older homes always have small rooms, often with a big staircase in the middle and the only way to get to the backyard is through some weird door far removed from the living areas or worse yet, through a bedroom. I really love the charm of older homes but to me there are too many sacrifices for similarly-priced homes.
It's why I bought here when I did, and my house appreciation has rewarded my original assessment of the area.
