It is also one of the state’s fastest-growing cities, adding more than 25,000 residents and a slew of big-box retailers since 2000. Known for quiet suburban life and short commutes to Tulsa, Broken Arrow has been named by national publications as one of the best 100 places to live, one of the 10 best places for families, one of the 25 safest cities in America and one of the most afordable suburbs in the south. A downtown revitalization efort that began in 2005 has aimed to create an arts and entertainment district centered on the city’s Main Street, and several new restaurants, a historical museum and a performing arts center have headlined the recent downtown improvements.
