Welcome To Altus, Oklahoma 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) Welcome to the glorious midwest, where we still enjoy a fine way of living. Spending time along the town of Altus made for some good times. As a city of few, there is a good atmosphere living here. Upon approach you won't see many hay bales, but you will find a good quality lifes ...Read More tyle.

As employment has been great, although not the best over the past few years, the internet has taken away many blue collar jobs. I think that the crime rate is relatively low compared to other places I've lived. Check out the Museum of The Western Prairie and request a tour, you'll really enjoy it.

I like to take rides along Falcon Road on my old beach cruiser on Sundays.

Living in Altus is a pleasure for sure, give it a visit so you can see for yourself! Read Less
