Residents are starting to move into Tulsa’s mixed-income River West community as phase one nears completion.
There are 74 total units opening up, with 37 for residents of the old Riverview Park public housing torn down to make room for the new apartments. The goal is bringing together people from all walks of life in a transformed Eugene Field neighborhood. River West is a community of inclusion and unity. This is what creating a better Tulsa by transforming lives and community looks like in action, said Tulsa Housing Authority Board Chair Rick Neal.
