EXPLORING OKLAHOMA CITY'S SUBURBS In Oklahoma City, suburban living doesn’t mean being far from the action. The city's expansive land area offers all the benefits of suburban life—spacious homes, quiet streets, and a relaxed atmosphere—while low commute times and excellent traffic management keep you connected to downtown and beyond. Oklahoma City’s suburban neighborhoods provide the perfect balance of peace and accessibility. The city is also home to several smaller communities within its boundaries, including Mustang, Bethany, Warr Acres, The Village, and Nichols Hills. These areas offer a wide range of housing options, from apartments to large, multi- story homes. Nichols Hills and The Village feature diverse housing styles, from grand '30s mansions to mid-century ranch homes and expansive '70s subdivisions. West of the city, Warr Acres and Bethany developed after World War II as bedroom communities, offering a more suburban feel with easy access to Oklahoma City. Farther north, newly built homes can be found in Northwest Oklahoma City and Edmond, which offer gated communities, large homes, and a strong sense of neighborhood. Edmond, in particular, is a popular destination for families, with top-rated schools, excellent public services, and a vibrant community. It’s also home to seven golf courses and the University of Central Oklahoma. South Oklahoma City offers even more room to grow, with new construction, larger homes, and a diverse array of retail, schools, and recreational opportunities. The region is becoming increasingly vibrant, with expanding
neighborhoods and a mix of new and established amenities.
To the south, Moore and Norman are two of the largest communities in the metro area, offering a variety of affordable housing options. Both have easy access to Interstate 35, which connects them to downtown Oklahoma City and the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Moore and Norman also have excellent school systems, abundant shopping and dining, and Norman is home to the University of Oklahoma. RURAL RETREATS NEAR THE C I TY If you’re drawn to wide open spaces and a peaceful, rural atmosphere, Oklahoma City has plenty of options to offer. Enjoy the tranquility of the countryside without sacrificing access to modern amenities or proximity to the heart of the city. For those seeking larger homes and more land, the Piedmont and Deer Creek areas offer expansive properties with a quiet, rural feel. Located on the far northwest side of the metro, these neighborhoods offer a change of pace, with shorter commute times than you might expect. Further west, Mustang and Yukon provide a small-town charm, with new home developments and excellent public schools, all just a short drive from downtown. On the east side of the metro, communities like Midwest City, Choctaw, and Jones offer larger plots of land with a wooded, “out-in-the-country” feel, while still being within easy reach of downtown Oklahoma City. These areas are home to Tinker Air Force Base and plenty of outdoor recreational options, making them ideal for those who want space and nature without being too far from city life.
