BEST places to RENT and LIVE with family NEAR OIL PLAYS???

how about housing for few days? aroung OKC ?

 

You should be able to find some decent hotels within a resonable distance of wherever it is that you will be applying at, although I would recommend making reservations a week or so in advance just to be sure.....
Also either bring -or rent a car with- a GPS....the interstates are a mish-moshed cluster.....there are 5 interstates that run thru the heart of the city.....

 

I strongly encourage you to learn how to use Priceline when it comes to motels. Do some research and you'll find some good info on how to get great deals. I have used it a lot when I ran otr...just to get out of the truck now and then...stayed in some very nice motels for $50/night. I remember staying at a nice place in OKC even. It wont do well outside of the larger cities or where the oilfield has taken over...but OKC is large enough that I doubt the boom has effected it that much.

 

Midland odessa. - its a desert. Absolutely nothin to do. No state parks or nothin 250 miles to anywhere. Midland wou ld be a betrr bet. They got kid stuff in town. But odessa has an ice rink in the mall. But your in the desert

 

Might be better to focus on the Houston/ Galveston area than Midland. At least you're nearer civilization. Galveston is an old town, a def possibility. Bear in mind too that if the oil thing becomes old and you want to make a change you could consider chemicals, so you'd be in the perfect place.
Diversifying is a good plan.

 

San Angelo, would be a nice place for the family. good recreational thing's to do, state park's, lakes and a river. A quick and mean search of Indeed.com and Craigslist ( not my 1st choice to find a job maybe but show's they are their) both showed plenty of job's, with Oil field companies. Water hauling, crude, gas, flatbed, roll offs, sand...etc.

Midland and Odessa have city park's, but not much in the way of water themed stuff, except pools. Their are museum's and other thing's of interest, but not as much as one would like to keep the kiddies interested. It's their if you look.

All three cities are in the desert, San Angelo doesn't get as cold. I'm pretty sure, with out looking at the wiki's that San Angelo is older and off the top of my head I believe Fort Concho is close to within the city limits. Lot's of historical stuff if you like that kinda thing.

Other than living around DFW, which does have some oil field stuff ( and traffic jam's up the wahzoo) I don't know about some of the other places.

I would be interested in knowing about the area around Corpus Christi ,I do miss tree's very very much.

 

I forgot about angelo. But fandango is right.
