District on 119 in Oklahoma City: Luxury Apartments in Midtown's Urban Core
District on 119 is a mid-rise residential tower in Oklahoma City's Midtown district, offering 308 market-rate apartments across studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms within walking distance of restaurants, retail, and public transit on NW 119th Street.
What District on 119 actually is
District on 119 occupies a corner position in Midtown, a 15-year-old neighborhood redevelopment zone north of downtown that has attracted young professionals, graduate students, and empty-nesters seeking walkable urban living without the density of downtown proper. The building itself is contemporary construction with full-service amenities. It represents the middle tier of Midtown's apartment stock: pricier than older converted lofts in former industrial buildings, but less expensive than new luxury towers downtown or in Bricktown. The location places residents within a five-minute walk of Whole Foods, restaurants along NW 23rd Street, and the streetcar line that connects to downtown. Parking is integrated into the building rather than surface lots, a practical distinction in a neighborhood where street parking fills quickly on weekends.
Unit types and pricing
Studio apartments at District on 119 typically start in the $900 to $1,100 monthly range. One-bedroom units run $1,200 to $1,500, while two-bedroom apartments rent between $1,600 and $2,000 per month. Pricing fluctuates based on floor height, unit finish, and lease length; verify current rates directly with the leasing office, as market conditions shift seasonally. Most leases run 12 months, though some shorter terms may be negotiable. A standard resident deposit covers damage beyond normal wear and, in Oklahoma, is equal to one month's rent for unfurnished units.
All units include climate control, in-unit washer-dryer, and stainless steel appliances. Finishes vary between standard and upgraded packages. The building allows one pet per unit for a non-refundable fee, typically $200 to $300 depending on size and species; confirm breed and weight restrictions when calling.
How it compares to other Midtown and surrounding options
Midtown has three primary apartment clusters. The Colcord Lofts, located several blocks south near NW 23rd and Robinson, convert historic warehouse space into open-floor-plan units and rent studios and one-bedrooms at slightly lower prices ($850-$1,350) but sacrifice modern amenities and include no parking in the building itself. The Hudson, a newer competing mid-rise in the same district, offers similar square footage and pricing but sits one block east; units here tend to lease $50 to $100 higher per month, offsetting a slightly larger fitness center.
Downtown's apartment towers (Opera House Lofts, Skirvin) command $1,300 to $2,200 for comparable units because they sit on Broadway's entertainment corridor and include valet parking and higher-end finishes. Edmond and Norman apartments, 15 to 25 miles away, rent $200 to $400 less monthly but eliminate walkability entirely and add 30 to 45 minutes to downtown commutes.
Choose District on 119 if you want Midtown's walkability, full modern amenities, and integrated parking without paying downtown price tags. Colcord Lofts suit those prioritizing the historic loft aesthetic and lower rent, accepting surface or street parking. The Hudson serves the same resident profile and differs mainly by one block of adjacency.
Who it suits and who it does not suit
District on 119 works best for professionals employed downtown or in Midtown offices, grad students at nearby institutions, and residents seeking city living without car dependence for daily errands. Pet owners benefit from the building's clear pet policy and nearby parks. Residents who work in suburban office parks or prefer single-family neighborhoods with yards should look elsewhere. Long-term renters seeking below-market pricing find better value in older Colcord or in neighborhoods farther north like Automobile Alley, where rents drop another $150 to $300 monthly.
What the first visit involves
Contact the leasing office by phone or through the building's website to schedule a tour. Most showings run 15 to 20 minutes and include a model unit, a walk through common areas, and a review of lease terms. The office can discuss current move-in incentives, which vary; some months include one month free, others waive deposits. Bring a photo ID and any questions about utilities (most units cover water; confirm whether trash and recycling are included). If you plan to apply, expect to provide proof of income (typically 2.5 to 3 times the monthly rent), employment verification, and authorization for a credit check. Processing typically takes 3 to 5 business days.
Hours, parking, and logistics
The leasing office keeps standard business hours, generally 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends; confirm hours directly, as they may adjust seasonally. Parking is included in rent for one vehicle; additional vehicles incur monthly fees. The building sits on NW 119th Street between Robinson Avenue and Western Avenue, with street-level access and surface lot overflow. Public transit via the OKC streetcar runs on NW 23rd Street, a 10-minute walk away.
District on 119 fills the practical middle ground in Midtown: modern finishes and included parking at prices below downtown but above converted lofts, with genuine walkability to neighborhood restaurants and employment centers that justify the location premium.
