Payne County’s city of Cushing is located 50 miles southwest of Tulsa, Oklahoma. With more than 8,000 residents, Cushing is a major hub in oil supply connecting the Gulf Coast suppliers with northern consumers. With the city surrounded by tank farms, the city has become known as the "Pipeline Crossroads of the World” and is the middle point for setting the crude oil price indices. The Keystone Pipeline, to be completed between 2009 and 2010, will have a center in Cushing. Most residents of a Cushing house or apartment for rent who don’t want to commute into Tulsa for work will find work in one of the area’s oil companies that thrive on Cushing’s diverse oil fields.
Most students in the city attend one of the Cushing Public Schools. The Oklahoma State University is nearby for those looking for advanced degrees. Residents of an apartment or home for rent in Cushing can find great recreational opportunities at the Cushing Country Club, Washington Park, Northwest Park, Rotary Park, and Memorial Park. The area’s historic district, Downtown Cushing, is home to the Cushing Community Theatre, Santa Fe Depot, and Dodrill's Museum. The area also hosts annual events like Roundup Family Fun Day, Festival in the Park, Farmers’ Market, Old Fashioned Christmas, and Holiday Home Tour.
