Situated at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in eastern Oklahoma, Tahlequah is a small and scenic town bursting with charm. Tahlequah is the capital of two federally recognized Cherokee tribes based in Oklahoma: the Cherokee Nation and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians. With a population of just over 16,000, Tahlequah is home to a tight-knit community of residents who enjoy quick access to amazing mountain vistas and a charming downtown area. Choctaw Street and Muskogee Avenue hold the bulk of the city's entertainment options, including locally owned restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops in a walkable layout. Around town you'll see traffic signs with both English and Cherokee lettering, and many schools in the city offer immersive Cherokee language classes to preserve the language. Sequoyah State Park is just a 20-minute drive west, putting residents just minutes from untouched natural beauty. Tahlequah rentals include affordable low-rise apartments and contemporary single-family homes fit for any renter.
