Most people don't expect to find gated, acre-plus estate lots ten minutes from downtown Oklahoma City. That's what makes the Rose Rock Addition stand out. This small northeast OKC neighborhood sits near the Oklahoma City Zoo and Lincoln Park and offers wooded lots, privacy, and custom homes.
If you're searching for homes for sale in northeast Oklahoma City, here's what to know about living in Rose Rock.
Where Is the Rose Rock Addition?
Rose Rock is in northeast Oklahoma City in the 73111 ZIP code, in the Lincoln Park area near the OKC Zoo. Homes sit along Rose Rock Drive and nearby streets like Redbud Circle.
What It's Like to Live in Rose Rock
Rose Rock feels tucked away even though it's minutes from the city. The neighborhood has a gated entry and a mandatory HOA, and dues cover the gate and maintenance.
Lots are large and wooded, and some are close to two acres. That gives you room for pools, guest houses, and outdoor living space that's hard to find this close to downtown.
Rose Rock Homes for Sale: What to Expect
Rose Rock is a small addition, so listings don't come up often. The homes are custom and mostly built in the 2000s, and they're larger than what you'll find in most of northeast OKC.
Recent listings have ranged from about 3,100 sq. ft. homes up to a nearly 9,600 sq. ft. estate with a guest house and pool house. Common features include:
- Large wooded lots, some with acreage
- Pools, cabanas, and outdoor living areas
- Guest quarters or in-law suites
- Brick construction with circular drives and three-car garages
With so few homes, setting up a search alert is the best way to catch a Rose Rock listing early.
Living Near the OKC Zoo and Adventure District
Rose Rock puts you close to Oklahoma City's Adventure District. The OKC Zoo and Botanical Garden is home to more than 2,000 animals. It drew a record 1.2 million visitors last year, and it's an easy weekend outing for families.
Also nearby:
- Lincoln Park Golf Course
- Zoo Amphitheater concerts
- Northeast Lake and Lincoln Park green space
Commute and Access
The Adventure District sits where I-35 and I-44 meet, so getting around the metro is easy. Downtown OKC, Tinker Air Force Base, and Edmond are all a short drive away.
School assignments vary by address, so confirm the district for any home you're considering.
Buying in Rose Rock With a VA Loan
Rose Rock is a strong fit for veterans who want space and privacy close to the city, especially with Tinker AFB nearby. If you have full VA entitlement, there's no VA loan limit, so higher-priced homes can still work with VA financing. Your lender will confirm what you qualify for.
As a Navy veteran, I help fellow veterans use their VA benefits to buy homes they're excited about, including hard-to-find properties like these.
