BELLE ISLE, OKC – A NEIGHBORHOOD WITH HISTORY & CHARM

Developed in the 1950s, Belle Isle blends rich history with modern convenience. Originally farmland, this area became a vibrant neighborhood under the vision of local developer Ben Wileman. Belle Isle’s roots trace back to the early 1900s when Belle Isle Lake powered OKC’s streetcars, drawing residents to the area as a favorite destination. By the mid-20th century, homebuilders like Luke Rodgers added unique “storybook chalet” homes, known for their character-rich architecture, large fireplaces, and open kitchens—a modern touch for the time.

 

Today, Belle Isle’s tree-lined streets and mid-century homes continue to attract buyers and sellers alike. The neighborhood offers easy access to Penn Square Mall, Belle Isle Station, and a variety of shops, dining, and highway connections, making it one of OKC’s most desirable areas.
