Default Moving to OKC, need some advice...

I just landed a very sweet job at Devon Energy in downtown OKC. Does anyone have any idea on good apartments? Would like to live downtown somewhere but really want a garage for the z06. Thinking like an urban garage loft with a garage if that helps at all. Also how are the roads around there? Gonna get a 2nd car to avoid driving the Z everywhere. Thanks for any info. Willing to go in the $1300-$1600 range for an apt

Roads kinda suck, when my wife and I first got here we also wanted to live downtown so we checked out a couple places but they were all around $1100 starting for rent and they were about 600sqft, waaaaay to small for us. I think Level were the nicest ones we saw, brand spanking new and they have a huge cargarage. We now live on the northern side and the area is great, we literally have everything right around us and the roads are nicer up here. About 10 min from downtown.

Ps. Can you get my wife in?!

A very good company indeed my good sir. a little bit south and you can score some good apartments. I used to live in Legacy Crossing in South OKC. Had a single car garage and Pool/hottube/gym hotube is amazing! haha great place to stay at, its also gated i have since moved to a rent house with a few of my friends

At least the over town is gone! i hated driving that! so thankful for the new I-40 <3 the highways arnt all that bad till you get I-235 kinda up by edmond, tends to get a tad bumpy. but other then that the highways are nice. southern part of the city "where i reside" is fairly decent till you get out by Drapper and dirtybird lol. Moore/Norman/ Central path of OKC are some what nice. east and west side of the city are pretty narly lol
