Stillwater Overview

Stillwater is a college town with a small-town mentality. Stillwater Apartments are scattered in and around the city. Most apartment communities encourage socializing and offer amenities that work toward bringing residents together. As a place to live, Stillwater is affordable and comfortable, with just enough culture and recreation to give residents that warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

What is the history of Stillwater?

"Stillwater was included in the country's purchase of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. William L. Couch set up his ""Boomer"" colony in 1884 on the banks of the creek people called 'Still water"" and only a few years later the area's first Land Run occurred. In one day a community of more than three hundred called the area home. The government of Oklahoma soon designated Stillwater as a land grant college site and the city has never looked back."

How is the weather in Stillwater?

"Given it's location in Oklahoma, Stillwater is typically dry and pleasant in the winter, snowfall averages just over seven inches a year. In the summer, the area is hot, humid, and sunny. It isn't unusual for temperatures to exceed 100 during warmer months, but water activities keep residents cool and comfortable. The city lies in the dreaded ""tornado alley,"" but most apartment communities have shelters available to residents."

How do I get around town?

The College maintains bus service during the academic year for those needing to get downtown or to campus. Carpooling and car sharing is encouraged throughout the city. Owning a vehicle isn't necessary, but during the summer, it can be a challenge to get to town without your own vehicle. The nearest major airline is located in Tulsa or Oklahoma City, but a Regional Airport lies three miles from the city.

What is the Stillwater commute like?

The average commute time to work is fifteen minutes, and many people live close enough to their place of employment to walk. There are two major highways running through Stillwater, State Highway 51 (aka 6th Avenue), and U.S. 177. Main Street downtown runs into 177 just south of the city, and also crosses 51 for easy access in and out of the city.

What are the local media outlets?

Culture is alive and well here. Stillwater Radio is located in the city and runs four stations, a country station, classic rock, adult contemporary, and sports/talk radio that also feature local sporting events. The university also maintains a radio station, KOSU 91.7. Local newspapers include the Newspress,Stillwater Journal, and The Daily O'Collegian (the university paper). A local television station replays city council meetings and provides other local broadcasting.

As a college town, it has the atmosphere of competition and solidarity that can only be captured in a community of people working together.

What Stillwater landmarks should I see?

Oklahoma State University's campus brings the excitement of college life to the area. For a taste of Oklahoma history, visit one of two museums downtown, the Washington Irving Trail Museum or Sheerar Museum. For nature enthusiasts, there are three nearby lakes that residents regularly visit: Lake Boomer, Lake Carl Blackwell and Lake McMurtry. Fishing, boating, and camping are popular recreational activities.

What is there to do around Stillwater?

Stillwater Apartments usually have their own community centers, but the city isn't lacking in recreational and cultural events. The area is known as one of the top ten best golfing cities in the country, and fishing is still considered a local past-time. For those who want to get a little down and dirty, there are a number of Motocross/ATV parks around. And speaking of dirt, have you ever heard of red dirt music? If not, be prepared for a quick introduction, as Stillwater is the birthplace of this genre, a mix between folk, country, blues and rock music.

Any annual festivals or Stillwater events to know?

This is a city of tradition, and there are plenty of festivals and annual fairs to prove it. In the spring, residents have been visiting the Stillwater Arts Festival for more than twenty years, A Taste of Stillwater features local treats and Homestyle cooking. The Special Olympics are held here in May, and during the summer, the county fair takes over. In the fall isCollegefest and the Downtown Stillwater Car Show, as well as the Halloween Festival. A festival of lights in December rounds out the celebration.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Stillwater is only a ninety-minute drive from Tulsa and Oklahoma City, making them popular day-trips for an overworked and overscheduled family. They don't have to go far for an old-fashioned nature retreat, as local lakes offer camping on-site. Ozark National Forest is only a couple hours east of Stillwater, and travelers often stop at Natural Falls State Park to witness the 70-foot waterfall.
