West Park Apartments in Tulsa’s Kendall Whittier Neighborhood
West Park Apartments brought new energy and new housing opportunities to Tulsa’s Kendall Whittier neighborhood. Developed as part of a transformative initiative by the George Kaiser Family Foundation, the project delivers high-quality affordable housing while strengthening one of Tulsa’s most historic urban districts.
West Park is designed as a walkable residential community that fits naturally within the surrounding neighborhood. Nine buildings frame the perimeter of the block, creating a strong street presence and reinforcing the character of nearby Craftsman homes and small-scale apartments. A mix of apartments and attached townhomes gives residents a range of housing options while supporting long-term neighborhood diversity.
Affordable Housing Designed for Community and Connection
The design prioritizes everyday livability. Front porches, sidewalks, and shared open spaces encourage neighbors to meet, children to play, and residents to feel connected to the larger community. The main apartment building includes community rooms, exercise facilities, and a FEMA-rated tornado shelter that adds resilience and value beyond housing alone.
Located just minutes from downtown Tulsa, West Park makes it easy for residents to walk, bike, or use public transit to reach schools, jobs, parks, and local businesses. More than a housing development, West Park demonstrates how thoughtful architecture and planning can create attainable homes, strengthen neighborhoods, and support families for years to come.
