The Belle Isle Subdivision Real Estate And Homes For Sale In Oklahoma City, OK

The Belle Isle community which is located between N May and N Penn, south of NW 63rd to NW Expym offers well-kept homes that were primarily built in the 1950-1960s, many with a mid-century modern vibe. Parts of the neighborhood boast mature trees and well-manicured lots. Investors have been rehabbing this neighborhood and experiencing high resale values due to the demand. However, these high end flips come at an expensive price tag, but the end result is always worth it! This neighborhood just sits south of Nichols Hills and attracts both retirees and young families alike. The area library is currently being remodeled and major shopping and restaurants are close by. I love to list and sell homes in this community!

Whiskey Cake Kitchen and Bar is located near Penn Square Mall in the Belle Isle Community. They have monthly food pairings with a featured distillery and a five course meal. The featured distillery has a representative that describes the five different tastings and the Whiskey Cake chef prepares each course farm-to-fork, made from scratch dishes for the dinner. These events are so much fun!

Recently, I was showing homes in Belle Isle and Nichols Hills. Bellini's Underground is a lovely Waterford location! It's located at 6305 Waterford Blvd, Suite 100. It's always perfection on the patio or inside.

My top recommendation for brunch is the Margherita Frittata with roasted roma tomatoes, fresh basil and mozzarella. For lunch I recommend Honey Roasted Pecan Salad with spinach, carmelized onions, and honey balsamic parmesan chicken. Dinner won't disappoint with my best pizza choice of pepperoni/black olive/mushrooms/onions/sausage. Pasta got your attention? Try the Chicken or Veal Piccatta-Scallopini over capellini pasta with capers! They feature a great wine selection and the location is highly desired for special date nights, family events and romantic ambiance.

You'll love this place...I always enjoy stopping here with or without clients because the music, food and wine selections can positively change your mood.

Great news if you're a foodie like me and enjoy the Northwest Oklahoma City area for showing homes, dining and shopping. I was shopping at Penn Square Mall in the Belle Isle neighborhood area of Oklahoma City today. Discovered a great new restaurant that just opened here in Northwest Oklahoma City at Penn Square Mall! Texas de Brazil is now open!

I can't possibly describe the delicious fare in detail here as I was too busy trying to take it all in, both with my eyes and my mouth! They are heavy on meats with selections of beef, lamb, chicken and pork of course, but I was really impressed with the lighter fare there. A great salad area; they claim more than 50 items and I believe it!

Now get this, they have wonderful soup selections, tasty cheeses and of all things, sushi! I was also happy to see they have a 'rewards' program for frequent diners. I've discovered so many great deals when using my rewards at the local Oklahoma City diners, and it's good to know that Texas de Brazil has a program like that here in Northwest Oklahoma City. This one is a national chain, so enjoy it, but always work to support your local Oklahoma City foodie heavens, too! Check out the website link below for more info on this new and exciting NW OKC restaurant!

According to a recent article here are the Top 10 Stressful Things You Could Face In Life:
10. Bankruptcy
9. Wedding planning
8. New parent
7. New job
6. Large debts
5. Fired from your job
4. A family death
3. Laid off from work
2. Relationship break-up or divorce
And drum roll please, the #1 most stressful thing you can face in life:
1. Buying or selling a house * According to Jay Edwards of the Daily Mail

With that said, does anyone question my sanity for being a realtor? I've often said that being a realtor involves 10% dealing with homes and 90% dealing with people. Another realtor friend says its 10% homes and 90% law and psychology. However you look at it, there is far more to being an effective realtor than looking for or listing a home on the MLS.

Whether buying or selling a home, seek out a professional. Someone who will sit down and listen to your goals and needs. Someone who will be hands on while listing and marketing your home. Someone who will spend the time to search for the perfect home to match your needs.

I live in Belle Isle. I shop at Sprouts and Braum's. I eat at Ingrid's, Dot Wo, S&B Burgers, Meat Market Refectory and Junior's. I walk my dogs in Belle Isle West Park. My dogs are groomed at Pet Smart. I bought my laptop at Best Buy. I know the people and have deep roots in my neighborhood. Please consider a professional realtor to help you during what is touted as the #1 stressful task you will deal with in your life. Decrease your stress in finding the perfect home for you and your family - hopefully on a street near me.

Meat Market Refectory
2920 NW 63rd Street

Refectory [ri-fek-tuh-ree]
noun, 1. a dining hall in a religious house, a college, or other institution.

I had to look up refectory...I do get around, but I hadn't heard of a refectory.

From the moment we walked in we could tell we were in for a treat! The restaurant is divided into sections with each having its own unique feel. A "hallway" of booths evoked a romantic, private feeling. Another dining area was suitable for larger groups or individual tables. We were seated in the open area adjacent to the bar. The silver upholstered booths gave an elegant, throw back to the 1920's feel. Our waiter was Daniel and he was perfection. His smile and attention to detail made for an enjoyable evening!

Now for the food! Oh my, oh my! I had the Cedar Plank Salmon, MMR potatoes and spinach with pecans - all prepared to perfection and delicious. My friend had the filet and he said it was the best he had ever had (and he's a steak guy!). Not only tender, but with a distinctive flavor that must come from the organic grain fed beef and extra long aging process. The wine list was extensive and our selection was perfect. We didn't have room for dessert. Maybe we will drop in some evening just for dessert! As we were leaving we noticed the butcher shop on the west side of the building. Well stocked for those who prefer to prepare their own steaks!

I live nearby and watched the long process of preparing the building for it's new role. After seeing inside I can appreciate all of the craftsmanship that went into the renovation.

They offer valet parking, have a friendly staff and, though pricey, it is well worth it! Menu, wine, service - Five Stars from this foodie!

I am in love with my neighborhood!

After living in the "burbs" for 30+ years, most recently Edmond, I chose to move to an established neighborhood (1955 - 1966) in the center of "my world." It seems everything I need is within spitting distance from my home.
