KIf you’re looking for a town where “even squares can have a ball,” take a tip from Mighty Merle Haggard and get your behind to Muskogee, OK. This is a city that has tons to offer those who are looking for small town charm and the opportunity to write home and tell your folks you’ve become an Okie from Muskogee. Fortunately, apartment hunting in Muskogee is as easy as the livin’.
The median rent is just a smidge under $600 a month, but if you look hard enough you may just be able to snag a three-bedroom duplex for less than Las Vegas residents spend on air conditioning in the summer. In fact, check out the duplexes for rent on 8th St. They’re not the fanciest digs in town, but you can’t beat the monthly rent: $350.
If you’re looking for an apartment in Muskogee, $700 a month will get you a 1,300 square foot, two-bedroom apartment with hardwood floors and bay windows at Sims Apartments. If you think the rent is reasonable, make sure you bring another $400 for the security deposit.
Families might want to check out the three and four-bedroom units at Whispering Pines Apartments. The complex includes a computer lab for residents, playground equipment for the kids and it’s within walking distance to the Walmart Supercenter on W. Shawnee.
Dog-friendly apartments are in short supply in Muskogee. You may need to consider renting a duplex or single-family home to accommodate the pooch.
That said, locals take an active interest in their town and turn out in droves for the annual Oklahoma Azalea Festival and the Renaissance Festival. As true as it was 40 years ago when Merle sang about it, you’ll find the okies in Muskogee a friendly bunch that like livin' right, and bein' free.
