HISTORY & PURPOSE

The neighborhood of Quail Creek is one of the state’s largest and most established neighborhoods. In fact, did you know that Quail Creek spans nearly two square miles, contains over 1700 homes, and has 24 entrances? Quail Creek began taking shape in 1960 as a large portion of the Browne Family Farm was sold to make way for a new country club and residential community. By late 1961, the country club was open and homes sat at the hub of future northwest Oklahoma City growth. The area was considered extremely suburban at the time and was surrounded in all directions by farmland. It was built in phases, allowing city streets and utility sections of the neighborhood to develop along the way. These sections date back to the 1960s and are as new as the 1990s.

Fast forward over 60 years, and now Quail Creek is proud to be home to a huge diversity of residents, home styles, and home sizes. From family homes to empty-nest homes to million-dollar homes, Quail Creek neighbors have found a common bond in the desire for a traditional neighborhood. It’s a neighborhood made up of residents who appreciate the winding streets, the large trees, kids playing, and the sense of community of an “established neighborhood” with the many conveniences that come with a booming surrounding area. Quail Creek is certainly one of a kind and is truly a unique place to reside!

It is because of this uniqueness of the neighborhood that the Quail Creek Home Tour was born. The annual Quail Creek Home Tour began in 2016 when neighbors Julie Leclercq and former resident Jennifer Watkins set out to create an event that would not only showcase homes in Quail Creek but also raise funds to benefit the ongoing expenses of maintaining and improving the vast neighborhood. The annual Home Tour has now raised over $300,000 for its community through the years. The event has gained increased popularity over the years as attendees enjoy touring unique and renovated homes in this historic and highly admired neighborhood. The Home Tour attracts not only residents of the neighborhood but also people from all around the metro and across the state! The dollars raised from this event are put toward Quail Creek Beautification Projects and continued maintenance throughout the large neighborhood.
