Tulsa ( see our Tulsa home for sale) is the second-largest city in Oklahoma, following Oklahoma City, the state capital. As of 2005, the estimate for the city population was 382,457.[1] It is the county seat of Tulsa ( see our Tulsa home for sale) County. Tulsa ( see our Tulsa home for sale)’s Metropolitan Statistical Area was estimated to have a 2005 population of 887,715 and Tulsa's ( see our Tulsa home for sale) Combined Statistical Area, which includes the Bartlesville Micropolitan Area, was estimated to have a 2005 population of 936,864. Tulsa ( see our Tulsa home for sale) is the 45th largest city in the United States and the 93rd largest city in North America.

The city is located in Northeast Oklahoma, a part of the state often referred to as "Green Country." It is considered the cultural and arts center of Oklahoma, boasting two world-renowned art museums, full-time professional opera and ballet companies, and the third largest concentration of art deco architecture in the country, behind New York City and Miami, Florida. [citation needed] Many of Tulsa's ( see our Tulsa home for sale) downtown skyscrapers and also entire neighborhoods were constructed in the art deco style of architecture.

Downtown is known for its art deco architecture and, as expected, office buildings. At 667 ft, for example, the BOK Tower is the tallest building in any of the 5 "Plains States" (Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota) and was designed in 1975 by Minoru Yamasaki & Associates, the same architect who designed the World Trade Center in New York. Downtown contains Tulsa ( see our Tulsa home for sale) largest entertainment and convention venues, including the Tulsa ( see our Tulsa home for sale) Performing Arts Center, another Yamasaki designed building. Currently under construction is a multi-purpose 18,000-seat arena, the BOK Center, designed by renowned architect Cesar Pelli (the designer of Petronas Towers). Also located in downtown is the Blue Dome District containing a number of popular restaurants and live music venues. In 2006 it was announced that a major redevelopment of the eastern perimeter of downtown is being planned. Called the "East End" the development is to include a new minor-league baseball stadium, shopping, dining and entertainment venues, and urban housing.

Uptown is the name given to a fairly small area immediately to the south of Downtown. Referred to by residents as "Tulsa's ( see our Tulsa home for sale) Neighborhood with a River View" it is bounded by U.S. 51/75 to the North, the Arkansas River to the west, 21st Street to the south and South Cincinnati Avenue to the east. Located on a bluff above the Arkansas River it primarily contains homes built in the early 20th Century as well as mid and high rise condominiums overlooking the river. The historic Council Oak Park and larger Veterans Park are in the area, as well as the Boston District, a tightly packed collection of high-quality clubs and restaurants.

North Tulsa ( see our Tulsa home for sale) is home to a large percentage of Tulsa's ( see our Tulsa home for sale) African-American community. The area's Booker T. Washington High School, Tulsa's ( see our Tulsa home for sale) African-American high school during the segregation era and now a magnet school, was judged in 2005 to be the 58th best high school in the United States by Newsweek Magazine.
