CrownRidge and BrookStone are two separate apartment communities operated by the same developer in Oklahoma City's Midtown corridor, offering furnished and unfurnished leases across comparable floor plans and price ranges. Both sit within walking distance of restaurants and retail along the Penn Avenue district, placing tenants near employment centers without a downtown commute. The properties cater to young professionals and small families seeking apartments above entry-level pricing but below luxury tier, with lease terms as short as six months and as long as 12 months.
CrownRidge occupies a four-story mid-rise building; BrookStone is a three-story complex. Both feature studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units with finishes including stainless-steel appliances, granite or quartz countertops, and plank-style flooring. CrownRidge units include full washers and dryers in-unit; BrookStone offers on-site laundry facilities in a shared room. Neither property is luxury class or student-focused. Resident ages at both properties skew toward working professionals in their late 20s through early 40s.
Studio apartments at CrownRidge typically run $900 to $1,050 per month for unfurnished leases; furnished studios cost $100 to $150 more. One-bedroom units range from $1,150 to $1,350 unfurnished, $1,250 to $1,450 furnished. Two-bedroom apartments start at $1,500 unfurnished and $1,600 furnished, with some units reaching $1,800 depending on floor and view.
BrookStone pricing sits 8 to 12 percent lower across comparable floor plans: studios $820 to $950 unfurnished, one-bedrooms $1,050 to $1,200 unfurnished, two-bedrooms $1,350 to $1,600 unfurnished. Furnished premiums mirror CrownRidge's range. Both properties accept leases from six to 12 months; longer commitments (18 or 24 months) typically earn 5 to 7 percent rent discounts. Security deposits equal one month's rent at both. Pricing is subject to promotions during slower leasing periods, particularly June through August. Verify current rates directly, as market adjustments occur quarterly.
The Residences at Piedmont, located three blocks east on 23rd Street, charge $1,100 to $1,400 for one-bedrooms and target empty-nesters and retirees, with amenities weighted toward fitness and wellness. Piedmont enforces stricter lease terms, requiring minimum 12-month commitments with no furnished options. For tenants seeking flexibility and furnished availability, CrownRidge and BrookStone have clear advantages.
The Lofts at Grand, two miles south in Deep Deuce, prices one-bedrooms between $1,300 and $1,550 and caters to creative professionals with gallery-style common spaces and event programming. Grand prioritizes an arts-forward community feel; CrownRidge and BrookStone are less curated socially. Choose the Lofts if community programming and a younger demographic matter; choose CrownRidge or BrookStone if you want flexibility, furnished options, and straightforward apartment living without membership-style community expectations.
Between the two properties, BrookStone suits cost-conscious renters willing to trade in-unit laundry for lower rent; CrownRidge appeals to tenants prioritizing convenience and the larger building amenity set. Both offer the same neighborhoods access. Monthly rent difference between properties can total $100 to $200 on comparable units.
CrownRidge and BrookStone work well for: corporate relocations or short-term assignments (furnished options with flexible leases); young professionals who are first renting in Oklahoma City and want move-in speed; remote workers or small-business owners needing reliable internet and a professional living environment; couples without children; people requiring immediate occupancy within two weeks. Both properties keep move-in costs low by waiving application fees during promotional windows.
These properties do not suit: families with multiple school-age children (schools are zoned to John Marshall and Edith Jackson elementary schools in an under-resourced district); tenants needing ground-floor accessibility or wheelchair-accessible units (neither property publicizes ADA compliance; verify directly); people seeking car-free living (both require parking; street parking is limited); renters on extended unemployment or unstable income (both conduct standard credit and income verification, requiring either employment or a guarantor).
Walk-ins are welcomed during business hours. Leasing staff will show available units or similar floor plans if your preferred layout is occupied. Bring a photo ID, pay stubs from the past month, and proof of current address. Application processing takes two to three business days. If approved, you sign the lease the same week. Move-in inspections are documented with photos; tenants have 48 hours to report damage or missing items. Both properties will not hold a unit without a signed lease and deposit.
Both properties are open Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and closed Sundays. CrownRidge is located at 301 NW 23rd Street; BrookStone is at 317 NW 23rd Street. Parking is included in rent and assigned; overflow parking is available in a surface lot adjacent to BrookStone. Penn Avenue, one block east, carries frequent bus service on routes 1 and 3. The Penn Square shopping center is a five-minute walk. Confirm current hours before visiting, as holiday schedules vary.
Both communities fill steadily October through April and offer the most negotiation room June through August. For tenants needing quick occupancy without long-term commitment, these properties are among the fastest-moving options in Midtown with furnished inventory.
