Areas convenient to OSU's campus

Neighborhoods with genuinely easy access to OSU's campus carry real appeal for faculty, staff, and graduate-student families, given the university's defining role in the local economy.

A genuinely walkable college-town core

Stillwater's own campus-area core supports more walkability than the city's broader, car-dependent footprint -- a real, distinct feature relative to many other Tier A markets documented in this project.
