Norman is 30 minutes south of Oklahoma City.
Our residents live in both locations as well as in Moore, halfway between the two.

When comparing the 3 locations,

Oklahoma City offers the more traditional urban city life with a vibrant night life.
Moore is more suburban with some of the best family friendly parks and school systems in the area.
