Old Silk Stocking
One of Norman's most walkable historic neighborhoods — just north of downtown, where character, culture, and long-term value converge.
Close to everything Norman offers
Living in Old Silk Stocking puts you within minutes of Andrews Park, downtown Norman, the Sooner Theatre, and the city's arts scene. From Second Friday Art Walk to Norman Music Festival, this area connects you directly to the cultural core of the city.
