Where to stay in OK? What say you?
Posted: 08-02-2009, 01:01 PM Now, I know there's information around and about in regards to housing and where people like to stay when they get to the academy. But, I wanted to start a new thread ONLY pertaining to where people would recommend parking their rears and why. This includes renting apartments and furniture, renting space in peoples' homes, hotels, gov. housing... etc.

Posted: 08-02-2009, 10:01 PM I'm not sure what is in the reviews, but Spanish Gardens is an excellent choice for OKC. The grounds were nice, it's a gated community, nice pool, etc. The furnished apartment was very nice also, and had almost everything I needed. Sorry, a little short on time now, but I would HIGHLY recommend Spanish Gardens.

Posted: 08-02-2009, 11:46 PM I am at The Fairways @ Moore. I really like it. If you have a roommate it is 30/day. This includes high speed internet, utilities, a maid service once a week and a fully furnished apt. The furnishings are very nice too. Leather couches, queen sized beds, your own bathroom and a full sized kitchen. Also have your own seperate washer and dryer. It is about a 20 min. drive to work. You also get golf, and all you pay is a cart fee. There is also a TV in each bedroom and a TV in the living room with a DVD player. All kitchen utensils that you need, dishwasher, etc. They also have a coffee maker for you as well. I have enjoyed it so far. Mgmt is nice. They have a pool, workout facility, lighted tennis/basketball courts as well. Convienient to tons of restaurants/shopping outlets/movie theater. I would highly recommend it.

Re: Where to stay in OK? What say you?
Posted: 08-03-2009, 02:23 PM When I was at the academy I stayed at Walnut Gardens. The first week I was here I tried getting an apartment on my own and renting furniture and hooking up everything on my own, and let me tell you- it's just a PIA that I didn't want to deal with while I'm here. Walnut Gardens isn't a luxury style living, but it was suited perfectly for what I needed. A big one bedroom with everything included in the price. Perhaps the best part was there were about 10 people frmo my class staying there, so it was a pretty social scene. I think the rest of the people from my class stayed at Isola Bella, which is also nice (but a bit further from the academy). Neither of these places are in a GREAT part of town- but I was there almost 5 months and didn't find one area that I truly liked... so go figure.
Walnut is in a gated community and the staff were very nice and accommodating. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was the BEST option out there but it definitely suited me well... |
