5th Street District

The 5th Street District is primarily an area of 1950s-era industrial buildings and vacant land. The 5th Street District is crossed by 4th, 5th, and 6th Streets and Shartel Avenue. The district terminates at the northern edge of the Oklahoma City National Memorial.

The district includes Sycamore Square and will be home to the new Legacy at Arts Central apartments offering "downtown class and urban energy."

Church Row District

MIDTOWN is home to an area known as Church Row, where the city’s first residents built stately sanctuaries in the early 1900s. This historic corridor is located along Robinson Ave. and extends the full length of MIDTOWN. Many of Oklahoma City’s oldest and most beautiful churches are located along MIDTOWN’s “Church Row.”

Cottage District

Located in the west central portion of MIDTOWN, the Cottage District is fast becoming the diverse Urban Residential Neighborhood of Oklahoma City. Formerly, this area was characterized by the older single family cottages and bungalows that border the southern and western edges of St. Anthony Hospital. Recent revitalization efforts and new infill home construction have created opportunities for a rich combination of architectural styles, ranging from historic renovations to ultra modern, from single family structures to moderate scaled multi-family complexes. With renewed focus from Midtown Redevelopment Corp. and Oklahoma City planning, upcoming improvements to the neighborhood’s Red Andrews Park and Emerson School will strengthen the momentum of Midtown’s growth.

Federal District

In December of 2003, a new Oklahoma City Federal Building was opened. Located on NW 6th Street, the new complex is just blocks from the former site of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The 181,000 square foot complex was funded with $42 million from the U.S. General Services Administration and now houses 11 federal agencies.

This district includes primarily business and offices around the Oklahoma City National Memorial.

Oklahoma City's first high school, Central High School, is located in this district. Central High was designed by Solomon Andrew Layton, architect of the State Capitol and the Skirvin Hotel. The school opened in 1912 at N.W. 7th and Robinson Ave. The building is now the state headquarters of American Farmers & Ranchers Mutual Insurance Company.

The Regency Towers, a high rise apartment building, is also located in this district.

Plaza Court District

After undergoing extensive renovation, the Plaza Court building has become the social center of MidTown. When the building was constructed in 1926 by the owners of Crescent Market, Veazey Drug Store occupied the ground floor. WKY, Oklahoma City≱s first radio station, broadcast from the second floor. Plaza Court is now home to the MidTown YMCA.

The unusual triangular building sits at the five-way intersection of N.W. 10th St. and Walker Ave., Oklahoma City’s first “roundabout”.

The Plaza Court District is also the location of Brown’s Bakery, The Grateful Bean Café inside the old Kaiser’s Ice Cream Store, and Boulevard Cafeteria, all mainstays of the MIDTOWN area.

North on Walker Ave. are the newly renovated Walker Shops-1492 New World Latin Cuisine, Midtown Deli, Meg Guess Couture Bridal & Boutique, Nault Fine Art Gallery, and Café do Brasil are thriving in the formerly vacant buildings.

To the east of the Plaza Court Building is the Sieber Apartment Hotel at 1305 N. Hudson Ave.
