Del City was founded by George Epperly and named after his eldest daughter, Delaphene.
While Del City may be a relatively small town, there's plenty going on, giving it the best of both worlds. You're likely to know your neighbors by their first names (and, if you're lucky, they might even bake you a pie when you move in), but there are still some great cultural happenings around the city.
Renting in Del City
If you're looking for a home to rent in Del City, there are a range of different options for you, from studio apartments to large four or five-bedroom houses. The problem is that a large proportion of the homes in the town are owner-occupied, meaning that there aren't a huge deal of rental properties on the market at any one time. As a result, it's best to start looking well in advance of the date that you want to move, and be prepared to compromise on the little things as it might take a while to find a home that ticks all the boxes. Your landlord or realtor will need to see a few bits of documentation before you move in, including your credit report, rental history, proof of income, photo ID and any references.
Neighborhoods in Del City
Before you move in, make sure to scope out all the neighborhoods to find one that is best suited to your lifestyle. Check out the list below of some of the more popular areas in Del City.
City Center: The majority of house rentals in this neighborhood are on the smaller side, but what you lack in space, you make up in convenience as properties in the City Center will be close to most of the town's amenities.
Midway Village: If you're looking for a well-established home with plenty of character, look no further than this neighborhood. The majority of the homes in Midway Village were built between 1940 and 1969, though you will find both older and newer homes in the area.
Elmview: If you're interested in renting an apartment, Elmview might be the neighborhood for you, as it contains more apartments and condos than many other areas of Del City.
Life in Del City
Del City is merely a hop, skip and a jump away from Oklahoma City, so the majority of the town's residents drive so they have access to more amenities. That said, there's no lack of things to do in the town. During the warmer months, people of all ages flock to the Eagle Harbor Aquatic Center, just near the Community Center, to swim, cool down or generally horse around. There's always time for a visit to the Oklahoma County & Western Museum, and anyone interested in the town's history might also like to join or contact the town's Preservation and Historical Society. Music fans may be pleased that the Oklahoma Country Western Music Hall of Fame puts on country and bluegrass events on a regular basis.
