Woodward Place Is 105 Years Old and Has Better Bones Than You

Select Living Properties doesn’t just offer a place to sleep; we curate a feeling.

There is a specific kind of confidence that comes with age: a certain sturdiness that simply cannot be manufactured in a modern suburban sprawl. While the "cookie-cutter" new builds of today are going up in weeks with flimsy drywall and hollow-core doors, our properties have spent over a century settling into their greatness.

Take Woodward Place, our Charming Tulsa Bungalow, for example.

At 105 years old, this house has better bones than most of us. It has stood the test of time, survived decades of Oklahoma seasons, and witnessed a century of Tulsa history.

But why does that matter to you, the traveler? Because "better bones" translates directly into a better experience.

The Architectural Soul of Midtown Tulsa

When you step through the signature mint green arched door of Woodward Place, you aren't just walking into a rental. You are entering a piece of historic Midtown Tulsa lodging that was built during the city’s golden oil boom era.

In 1919, craftsmanship wasn't a "premium upgrade": it was the standard.

Our walls aren't the paper-thin partitions you’ll find in those soulless, keypad-only corporate rentals. These are thick, lath-and-plaster walls that provide a level of acoustic privacy and thermal mass that modern construction can’t touch.

When you close the door at Woodward Place, the world outside disappears.

"Sleep Sanctuary" vs. "Construction Chaos"

We talk a lot about the Sleep Sanctuary at Select Living Properties. For our target guests: the professionals, medical travelers, and mature couples: a quiet environment isn't a luxury; it's a necessity.

The solid character of a 105-year-old home creates a natural Calm over Chaotic atmosphere.

  • Thick Plaster Walls: They don't just hold up the roof; they dampen the sound of the city.

  • Original Hardwoods: These floors have a warmth and soul that LVP (luxury vinyl plank) could never replicate. They don't just look good; they feel permanent.

  • Arched Doorways: These architectural curves soften the visual landscape of the home, guiding you from the living space to the kitchen with a grace that modern right-angles lack.

While a new build might feel "fresh," it often feels hollow. Woodward Place feels grounded. It’s the difference between a fast-fashion t-shirt and a bespoke wool coat. Both serve a purpose, but only one feels like quality.

Historic Soul, Boutique Interior

Having "better bones" doesn't mean we’ve left the house in the 1920s. At Select Living Properties, our standard is boutique and hospitality-forward. We believe in preserving the historic soul while elevating the guest experience with modern, high-end touches.

We’ve curated every corner of Woodward Place to ensure it meets the refined needs of our guests.

In the bathroom, you’ll find a stunning modern sage green vanity accented with brushed gold hardware: a perfect nod to the home's historic roots but with a contemporary, high-end edge.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a professional-grade stainless steel Forno range and glossy, vertical subway tiles. It’s the kind of space where you actually want to make coffee in the morning and linger over a local pastry from nearby Utica Square.

Why Boutique Beats Corporate Every Time

If you’ve ever stayed in a corporate-run short-term rental, you know the vibe: grey floors, grey walls, "Live Laugh Love" signs, and a keypad entry code that is the only "human" interaction you get. It’s efficient, sure, but it’s soulless.

We prioritize Boutique over Basic.

Our guests choose us because they appreciate the details. They want the high-touch communication, the premium linens, and the knowledge that they are staying in a home that is loved and maintained to a five-star standard.

When you stay at Woodward Place, you are steps away from the beauty of Woodward Park. You can spend your afternoon wandering through the Rose Garden or the Japanese Garden, then walk back to your 105-year-old bungalow that feels just as much like a retreat as the park itself.

A Legacy of Five-Star Stays

With over 100 five-star reviews across our listings, we know that our guests value this blend of historic charm and modern refinement.

They don't want the chaos of a hotel or the flimsiness of a generic apartment complex. They want the Quality over Quantity approach that defines Midtown Tulsa living.

Woodward Place is more than just a 105-year-old house. It is a testament to the idea that some things really do get better with age: especially when they are cared for with a "Sophisticated Concierge" level of attention.
