WorldAtlas, one of the largest publishing resources in geography, has named Broken Arrow as one of six ‘towns’ in Oklahoma that is a perfect place for retirees.
According to the company, an ideal retirement means “every day you can wake up, relax, and settle into the hobbies you love.
“With affordable living costs and low crime rates, Oklahoma‘s small towns are a great option to do just that. They offer a mix of cultural attractions, outdoor activities, and community events to enjoy during your retirement.”
Additionally, WorldAtlas says, these locales are “rich with historical sites, engaging museums and lively local celebrations, ensuring there’s always something new to explore and enjoy.”
WorldAtlas did not reveal how it chose the six cities, which also included Alva, Bartlesville, Guthrie, Medicine Park and Ponca City. It also describes Broken Arrow as a “small town” despite its population of 121,000.
About the city specifically, WorldAtlas noted Broken Arrow began as an indigenous community of the “Creek people” and is known now for having low crime and affordable houses. “This makes it a top pick for folks wanting to enjoy their retirement in peace.”
World Atlas also mentioned Ray Harral Nature Park, “where you can learn about the surrounding nature, paths to stroll on, and a suspension bridge to cross over if you are OK with heights.”
The article also mentions The Museum of Broken Arrow and Historical Society, which “teaches about the region’s involved history. You can learn things about Native American history, the very first school in Broken Arrow, and see a variety of important antique items.”
WorldAtlas is one of the largest publishing resources in geography and other topics it covers, including sociology, demography, environment, economics, politics, and travel. In 2019 alone, WorldAtlas has served over 165 million readers from around the world.
