Del City Located 5 miles southeast of OKC and adjacent to Tinker Air Force Base, Del City is a city of about 23,000. Del City maintains a strong link to the military, serving as home to many base personnel and military retirees. After facing hard times due to regional economic decline and the devastating effects of the May 3, 1999 tornado, the City is experiencing a period of significant growth and redevelopment. A new Wal-Mart Supercenter and several new national/regional chain stores (Advance Auto Parts, Starbucks, Albertsons) serve as the groundwork for future economic development. Continued expansion at several major employers, including the opening of the international corporate headquarters of Midwest Trophy/MTM Recognition and dramatic expansion at Mayco (oil field parts) are bringing quality jobs to the City. Easy commuting access to I-40 and I-35, strong community organizations and neighborhood watch groups, and affordable housing prices make Del City particularly attractive to young families. Del City High School has recieved many state & national awards, including the Class 4-A (at the time, the state's largest high school athletics division) State Football Championship in 1974. Del City is quickly becoming known for its outstanding recreational opportunities, including walking and bicycling on several sections of improved trail, kite-flying or hosting a family reunion in Ray Trent Park, or fishing at Eagle Lake.

City leaders have enjoyed success in reinventing their downtown area, and attracting numerous eateries and shops to the Town Center Plaza, a new shopping center along I-40 anchored by Lowe's, Target, and J.C. Penney locations. The city's dying mall, Heritage Park, has planned a large-scale renovation. In the late 1990s the mall slowly started losing tenants, and what once was a thriving mall had turned into a collection of "mom-and-pop" stores. By 2006, it was left with two anchor stores - Sears and Dillard's - but Dillard's closed in March 2006, leaving the mall with even less traffic than before. Rose State College and its Performing Arts Center are located here as well as much of the metro's automobile market. The devastation from the May 3rd, 1999 tornado opened the door to new development of numerous hotels and the Reed Convention Center, which is connected to a Sheraton hotel.

Southwest of Oklahoma City
Newcastle, Tuttle, Blanchard, and Bridge Creek Traveling along I-44 southwest from the City takes one in to the fastest-growing part of the metro, which is known as "Tri-City" after its major constituents: Newcastle, Tuttle, and Blanchard. The area surrounding the tiny town of Bridge Creek is included in this area as well. These suburbs have experienced rapid growth over the past 5-10 years as the result of people moving further and further from downtown. The growth rates of these cities are outstripping the abilities of the cities to provide a proper tax base, so infrastructure development tends to lag far behind housing development. This, taken with the separation from the rest of the metro by the South Canadian River, has caused the area to retain a very rural feel.
