Overview of Sooner Station at University North Park

Sooner Station at University North Park occupies a car-dependent stretch of northwest Norman, Oklahoma, about 2.9 miles from the city center in Cleveland County. The address is 2803 24th Avenue NW. Norman Senior Living, LLC operates the 100-bed community under administrator Michael Dean, and the three care tracks on offer give it a wider range than most single-purpose communities in the area.

At 92% occupancy, the building is nearly full. That’s a practical signal: the community is drawing consistent demand across its care levels, and available units may be limited at any given time. Apartments run from studios to two-bedroom layouts.

The three care tracks on offer are assisted living, independent living, and memory care. Independent living units come with full kitchens; assisted living units have kitchenettes. Two named programs are built into the community: SHINE® Memory Care for residents with cognitive impairment, and a Military Veterans Program for qualifying residents.

There’s a courtyard pool, fitness center, walking trails, meditation garden, activity and club rooms, an education and training center, a full-service salon, and an on-site masseuse. Al fresco dining and bistros supplement the main dining room, where meals are chef-prepared. Scheduled transportation is available, and the community is pet-friendly.

Sooner Station runs on private pay only; Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted. The community suits independently minded older adults and memory care residents who can self-fund and want a broad on-site amenity base without leaving Norman.
