Architect and Builder Serving Turley, Oklahoma
Property Arts designs and builds custom homes, additions, and commercial buildings for clients in Turley, an unincorporated community surrounded by Tulsa but governed as its own place, with housing stock and boundaries most outsiders get wrong.
A Community Inside Tulsa, But Not Part of It
Turley is unincorporated, which means that despite sitting entirely within the Tulsa area, it is not part of the City of Tulsa. It is policed by the Tulsa County Sheriff, its roads are handled by a county commissioner rather than city public works, and it is served by a volunteer fire department. Its schools are zoned to Tulsa Public Schools even though the community itself is outside the city limits, a boundary mismatch that surprises people who assume everything inside Tulsa’s footprint follows the same rules. Property Arts designs for Turley with those real jurisdictional differences in mind, not the assumption that it works exactly like the rest of Tulsa.
A Real Mix of Housing Stock
Turley’s housing reflects its age: 1930s stone bungalows, 1940s Craftsman homes, and newer manufactured homes, most sitting on half-acre to full-acre lots rather than tight suburban parcels. Property Arts designs additions and remodels that respect that older housing stock rather than treating a 1930s bungalow like a blank slate, and designs custom homes and barndominiums for the larger lots common throughout the area.
Built Along Bird Creek
Turley sits along Bird Creek, a corridor with a real, documented flood history going back to the 1971 Labor Day floods and the 1974 floods that reshaped how the wider Tulsa area thinks about drainage. A destructive tornado tracked along Bird Creek through the area in May 1942. Property Arts accounts for that creek exposure when siting a home or a storm shelter in Turley, and designs shelters engineered to ICC-500 and FEMA standards for a community that has real reason to take severe weather seriously.
Architectural Services
Every Turley project stays with the same architecture team, from the first floor plan through construction administration, whether that is a remodel of an older bungalow, a new custom home on a larger lot, or a storm shelter sited with Bird Creek’s flood history in mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Turley part of the City of Tulsa?
No. Turley is unincorporated and governed separately, though it is zoned to Tulsa Public Schools and sits within the greater Tulsa area.
Does Property Arts remodel older homes in Turley, or only build new?
Both. Turley has a real mix of older housing stock from the 1930s and 1940s, and Property Arts designs additions and remodels that respect that character alongside new custom home construction.
