Kendall-Whittier Real Estate
Welcome to Kendall-Whittier
Known for its rich history, diverse architectural styles, and vibrant community spirit, Kendall-Whittier is a neighborhood that offers a unique blend of old-world charm and modern convenience.
Kendall-Whittier was a “streetcar suburb”, designed in the 1920s to provide housing for workers who wanted to live close to downtown Tulsa.
The Kendall Whittier Square Main Street (KWMS) revitalization project has been a resounding success. KWMS was one of three winners of the 2020 Great American Main Street Award. With a mix of art studios, breweries, restaurants, a historic theater, and non-mainstream retail, Kendall Whittier has something for everyone in this funky corner of Tulsa.
