Shalimar is the stretch of Del City north of SE 15th Street. The city's neighborhood watch lines put it between Bryant Avenue on the west and Sunnylane Road on the east, running up to the Tinker Diagonal. Shalimar Drive cuts through the middle of it, lined with modest homes, many of them built around 1961 on roomy lots.
It is a quiet, residential pocket of town, so most errands start the same way, with a drive south to SE 15th. Once you are on 15th, we are close. Head east, drop south on Sunnylane, and you land on SE 29th in about seven minutes, a little over two miles from Shalimar Drive.
That route takes you right past the Del City Community Center and down the same stretch of Sunnylane that the earliest Del City homes were built along. For a neighborhood that sits up near the Diagonal, it is a short, easy run.
