Bali Apts is a garden-style apartment complex in Oklahoma City's Midtown district, offering furnished and unfurnished one and two-bedroom units at moderate prices for renters seeking walkable urban living without downtown's premium costs.
Bali occupies a three-story building on a block where Midtown transitions into surrounding residential neighborhoods. The complex holds roughly 40 units and draws renters balancing access to shops, restaurants, and entertainment against affordability. It sits in a pocket where monthly rents run lower than comparable properties closer to downtown Oklahoma City's core or in the Plaza District, but still place residents within biking distance of those areas.
One-bedroom units rent between $650 and $750 per month, depending on floor and furnishing. Two-bedroom units range from $850 to $950 monthly. Furnished options cost approximately $100 to $150 more per month than unfurnished equivalents. A standard lease runs 12 months. Most units include water and trash in the base rent; tenants pay for electric and gas separately. Parking is included and unreserved. Security deposits equal one month's rent. (Rental rates and lease terms can shift; verify current pricing with the property directly.)
Bali's pricing sits between two local patterns. Properties immediately south toward the Plaza District, such as those on 16th Street, typically rent $200 to $400 higher per month for comparable square footage, reflecting that neighborhood's stronger retail draw. Conversely, apartment complexes in less walkable zones further east or north, away from Midtown's commercial spine, often undercut Bali by $100 to $200 monthly but require a car for most errands. Bali rewards renters who prioritize foot traffic over lowest cost. It also differs in scale from newer, larger complexes like those near Bricktown, which offer more amenities (fitness centers, rooftop spaces, concierge services) but start rents around $1,000 for one-bedrooms. Choose Bali if walkability and moderate pricing matter more than resort-style amenities; choose a larger Bricktown property if you want on-site fitness and event space and can afford it.
Bali works well for single renters, couples without children, and remote workers who value being able to walk to coffee shops and lunch spots without needing a car every day. Young professionals new to Oklahoma City often choose it because the rent-to-location ratio is efficient. Students from nearby universities may find it livable if they want off-campus housing without the isolation of distant complexes. It does not suit families needing multiple bedrooms and a washer-dryer in-unit (Bali has a laundry room on each floor, not individual hookups). It is also less ideal for renters prioritizing luxury finishes, parking privacy, or a car-free lifestyle; you will still need a vehicle for many errands outside the immediate Midtown block.
Call ahead to schedule a showing; the office is staffed during standard business hours. You will walk through a model unit (if one is available) or a recently vacated comparable space. Bring identification and proof of income (recent pay stubs or an offer letter). Application fees are typically $25 to $40 per adult; the property runs a background and credit check and usually decides within 2 to 3 business days. If approved, you sign a lease, submit your security deposit, and receive keys. Move-in is typically available within 3 to 7 days of approval.
The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (confirm current hours before visiting). Parking is at ground level in an open lot; there is no covered or reserved parking. The address is accessible by the EMBARK bus system, though service is limited compared to downtown; a car is practical for most residents. Trash pickup is twice weekly. No on-site maintenance happens after 5 p.m. on weekdays or on Sundays; emergency maintenance requests are handled by an on-call contractor.
Bali fills a genuine gap in Oklahoma City's rental market: walkable Midtown living at prices that do not require a six-figure income. For renters unwilling to pay Plaza District premiums or settle for car-dependent affordability elsewhere, it represents a practical middle ground.
