Del City, OK

147 Apartments for Rent

Del City was founded by George Epperly and named after his eldest daughter, Delaphene.

While Del City may be a relatively small town, there's plenty going on, giving it the best of both worlds. You're likely to know your neighbors by their first names (and, if you're lucky, they might even bake you a pie when you move in), but there are still some great cultural happenings around the city.

Renting in Del City

If you're looking for a home to rent in Del City, there are a range of different options for you, from studio apartments to large four or five-bedroom houses. The problem is that a large proportion of the homes in the town are owner-occupied, meaning that there aren't a huge deal of rental properties on the market at any one time. As a result, it's best to start looking well in advance of the date that you want to move, and be prepared to compromise on the little things as it might take a while to find a home that ticks all the boxes. Your landlord or realtor will need to see a few bits of documentation before you move in, including your credit report, rental history, proof of income, photo ID and any references.

Life in Del City

Del City is merely a hop, skip and a jump away from Oklahoma City, so the majority of the town's residents drive so they have access to more amenities. That said, there's no lack of things to do in the town. During the warmer months, people of all ages flock to the Eagle Harbor Aquatic Center, just near the Community Center, to swim, cool down or generally horse around. There's always time for a visit to the Oklahoma County & Western Museum, and anyone interested in the town's history might also like to join or contact the town's Preservation and Historical Society. Music fans may be pleased that the Oklahoma Country Western Music Hall of Fame puts on country and bluegrass events on a regular basis.
