ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Overview
Crown Heights is a historic residential neighborhood in central Oklahoma City, developed by G. A. Nichols beginning in 1930 on land formerly occupied by the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. Lots first went on sale in October 1930, and approximately 95% of the neighborhood had been completed by 1941.
Crown Heights proper lies west of Walker Avenue and forms the western portion of the larger Crown Heights–Edgemere Heights neighborhood area. The neighborhood is designated as an Oklahoma City Historic Preservation District, which helps preserve its architectural character.
NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER
Community Character
Crown Heights reflects the planned residential development patterns of Oklahoma City during the 1930s. The neighborhood was laid out with wider and deeper lots than were common at the time, allowing for private driveways rather than rear alleys.
Mature landscaping, Shartel Avenue medians, historic lighting, Crown Heights Park, and neighborhood entry spaces contribute to the established streetscape. The Crown Heights–Edgemere Heights Neighborhood Association has also supported beautification, preservation, tree replacement, and community events for decades.
