74112 - The Fairgrounds & Expo Square, Tulsa OK

- About 74112

74112 sits in central Tulsa, east of Highway 169. Its best-known residential neighborhood is Turner Park, and the zip is anchored by Expo Square, the county fairgrounds complex that hosts the Tulsa State Fair and hundreds of other events each year.

Expo Square includes the River Spirit Expo building, the Exchange Center, Central Park Hall, and the Pavilion - a historic Art Deco arena originally built for concerts, horse shows, and agricultural exhibitions that still hosts entertainment and equestrian events today. The fair itself traces back to a street fair in the late 1890s and a county free fair that began in 1903; the grounds moved to their current 240-acre site, donated by Tulsa oilman J.E. Crosbie, in 1923, and a 1931 bond issue funded the Pavilion's construction, helping the event earn official state fair status in 1935. The complex took the Expo Square name during a round of 1970s updates, and the Tulsa State Fair now draws well over a million visitors most years, making the complex one of the larger event venues in the region and a fixture of the surrounding neighborhood's identity.

Housing in Turner Park and the surrounding blocks is mostly small-to-medium single-family homes and small apartment buildings, with much of the stock built between 1940 and 1969 and a smaller share dating from before 1940. At a median list price of $220,000, 74112 currently offers some of the more accessible pricing among the zips we track, without straying far from downtown, Cherry Street, or the Expo Square events calendar right next door. Addresses in 74112 are zoned to Tulsa Public Schools.

74112 is part of Central Tulsa alongside 74135 (Eton Square & Darlington) and 74145 (the Woodland Hills Corridor). See the full Tulsa neighborhoods guide, or find out what your 74112 home is worth.
