Ames, OK

The Ames area is located in the northwest corner of Oklahoma and has a population of around 36,000 people. The city of Ames was founded in 1907 and is home to the University of Oklahoma. The economy in Ames is based largely on agriculture, with crops such as cotton, corn, wheat, and soybeans being the main products. However, since the 1990s there has been a growth in the service sector as well, with businesses such as insurance companies and law firms locating here.

Real estate in Ames is generally expensive compared to other areas of Oklahoma. This is due to both its location and its history – Ames was one of the first cities in Oklahoma to experience rapid growth after statehood. Additionally, many homes here were built during the 1920s and 1930s – a time when construction materials were more expensive than they are today. As a result, homes here can be quite large and luxurious. In addition, because there are so few housing options available for people who want to live close to downtown Ames (the city center), prices for apartments and condos have also been high here.

Despite these costs, there are still some affordable homes available in Ames – particularly if you are looking for something that isn’t too big or fancy. And since most residents commute into Tulsa or Norman (two larger cities nearby), it isn’t difficult to find housing that meets your needs without spending an arm and a leg.
