Are you thinking about trying to . purchase some land with a house so you can give yourself a little . bit more space? Let's talk about some land that may be available for . you in the south Oklahoma City Metro. We're going to concentrate on the south Oklahoma . City Metro for different neighborhoods and areas that have homes with some land when I say some land I’m usually talking between half an acre all the way up to 10 acres you can find homes that . have more than that but usually of course those aren't going to be in neighborhoods I’m mercy villain and I’m a real estate agent here in the south Oklahoma City Metro I specifically live in . Norman so I work all over the metro so the first area that I want to cover is south Norman and Goldsby area so south Norman particularly the area going west on highway 9 until about 20 years ago , didn't really have any residential properties or it had properties that were residential but also , were like attached to small farms or bigger farms so now we have several neighbors in this area . with you know half an acre all the way up to 10 acres in some instances although in this area , we're really going to find those smaller half acre to one acre lots different neighborhoods in this . area include crystal lakes Remington ridge we're going to have the estates at south wind hills which is down in Goldsby and then other places like blue ridge we also have land run in this area as well which is a pretty new neighborhood and they just finished building all the houses . there you're gonna find houses with more acreage than of course like the one acre or half acres . area and a lot of them aren't going to be attached to any neighborhoods at all so that's just like a very unique proposition for all of these areas that I’m talking about you're always going to find . homes with more acreage they just might be fewer and farther between so of course once we . get out of any sort of sort of metro area you're gonna lose like the abundance of . restaurants and shopping and all of that stuff although in all these areas I’m talking about like your grocery store is really close by typically and by close by in Oklahoma we mean like 15 to 20-ish minutes it just depends on where you're gonna be and if you're looking for , a big box store versus like a local grocery store or even a farmer's market in some instances , so different amenities in the south Norman area are going to be Riverwind Casino it's a big , casino they have a great little restaurant inside and then you'll also have Libby’s cafe down , in Goldsby which is a really popular spot and then there's actually lots of fast food along this section of highway 9 as well most of these homes in this area are going to have a Norman address a Newcastle address or a Washington address Washington’s a lot further south so you're , going to be in Norman school district Newcastle or Washington as well Goldsby I don't see some some places have that address but not many and they don't have a school another area that we're seeing a lot of development for homes with acreage is in east Norman noble so this is on like east highway 9 all the way up to the lake as you can see here kind of between what you know Norman proper and . the lake itself so in some parts of this map area we actually have homes that are on 10 acre lots . because they have to be because of how it's zoned for the city of Norman but it all depends on how . that particular area is zoned we're seeing a lot of build-up too of different neighborhoods in , this area so you're going to be in Norman or noble schools in any part of this typically maybe more sometimes but it just depends on how far north you go and then little acts is also an ,
option a lot of the homes in any of these areas really are gonna have a private well and a private septic but it totally depends on the spot itself and some of them won't have natural gas hookups , either so you may have a propane tank or you may have an all-electric house just depending on the , situation different neighborhoods in this area are like wellington lakes blue ridge acres we're gonna have vista springs and an older neighborhood like flaming oak estates so we have some older , neighborhoods and some brand new neighborhoods just defense one question that I get a lot about , these homes with acreage is what is the internet like well in this area you're going to have OEC . fiber optic internet so it's hardwired into your house and goes right along with your electric bill typically if you have OEC electric if you have OG and E then of course it's going to be two separate . bills of course in this part of Norman noble whatever you want to call it we also have lake . thunderbird so while there's not very many homes actually on the lake you will find homes that are close to a dock or within driving distance it really does not feel like a city out here . like it says Norman and Norman’s a big city of 125 000 plus people but this really feels , like the country you will have quite the drive into Norman if you're living out in this area . or into noble depending on which part of the highway you live on but major attractions kind of . in this area are the casino that's out by the lake thunderbird casino and then whispering pines inn which also has a great restaurant so this next area that I wanted to cover is separated from . east Norman because it's usually Oklahoma city and then it has like different schools and the driving . time to specific things is very different in this area here that you see on the map this is usually going to be like little x school district or more or Choctaw in some areas so sometimes like people have to drive their kids a long way to school right so the reason I separate this is like a lot . of this is actually considered Oklahoma city so if we look at this Oklahoma city map we can see how weird the city is and how it's just like gobbled up sections that you know aren't city they're just . not they're actually country but Oklahoma city just gobbled them up probably for tax reasons and then also because some of these towns got unincorporated so Nuala which is in this part of , the map that we're talking about here is actually a city that was unincorporated we're seeing a lot of growth in this area and a lot of different neighborhoods and things going up so it's a good , opportunity so all of these homes in this spa are south of 240 240 for us is a very natural barrier . between like south side and north side we'll find a lot of residents in this area who actually work , at tinker air force base it's a really close drive tinker air force base is of course the largest , single site employer in Oklahoma so we'll find like active duty and civilians working on this air depot base not a ton of amenities out here but easy-ish driving distance to Oklahoma city . Midwest City Norman Moore whatever you may need something specific to mention is the muse of osteology which is pretty random but it's out here on the south side of Oklahoma city southeast and , then another popular restaurant a place to hang out is royal Bavaria it's a German restaurant and beer hall I do have relocation guides for some of these different areas that we're talking about . and you can find those in the description below those are free for you to download okay I’m going . to straight a little bit from my south side talk meaning south of 240 and I’m gonna head a little . bit north of 240 right where we were talking about tinker air force base okay so this area that we're going to talk about it has Midwest City Choctaw and Herrera and then like Nakoma park is ,
part of this kind of really weird lines once again and honestly like if you work at tinker or Boeing. Boeing is very close to this area as well like you don't have to live in this area I know people who . live in Edmond that work at tinker I know people who live in noble and Norman who work at tinker , or Boeing so just know that this is just where people tend to live because they want a 20-minute drive to work it's kind of where you have to live to to be close to tinker or to Boeing so neighborhoods in this area to choose from are seemingly endless most of these homes are . going to be 21st century builds so fairly new but you're still going to find older homes as well that are on that acreage and the amenities in this part of Oklahoma City Metro the east side are pretty endless because these towns are really booming so of course with like Midwest City we find a lot of things there because it's it's a very old town and you know they just had a , lot of development already so it was easy to kind of grow that but then Choctaw is really booming as , well and every time I drive through Hera there's something new so all of these towns have really just kind of exceeded expectations if you will for for what we thought was going to happen so schools in this area are typically Hera, Choctaw, Nakoma park, Midwest City, I find some go to . mcleod which is a little bit further out and I didn't cover specifically in this video all of these areas are really booming so the next this next part I want to cover is south the , southwest side so it's mustang Tuttle, Newcastle and really Blanchard could be thrown in there as well but I have covered Blanchard in a couple of other videos so I wanted to kind of leave that , for those and covers things that are closer to the Oklahoma City Metro where you can find a house with land so mustang Tuttle and Newcastle are all smaller cities like the ones we were talking about Choctaw, Hera, Midwest City kind of doesn't fall into that but Choctaw, Hera are similar to some place like Tuttle, Newcastle and mustang so the employers for this area typically we're talking about hobby lobby which is on that southwest side in Oklahoma city , a lot of people who work there also live in Yukon and then the FAA slash the international airport , which is right there on the southwest side as well so you're definitely going to find home sites . between an acre and 10 acres in this area usually between one and five and most of what I see on the new builds is definitely one acre shop buildings are always a question that I get . and yes we have a ton of shop buildings in all these neighborhoods our HOAs are not particularly strict unless it's a gated community and I find very few gated communities especially , on the south side another question I get a lot are the tornado shelters for homes , like this and I find a lot of people put in kind of like these concrete rooms on the outside , of their houses or underground kind of concrete bunkers for the tornadoes on the outside , of their homes as well you can also build a tornado shelter into your foundation and , that's something that a builder might offer in my opinion you're going to find a lot more , amenities on the southwest side and one of the things that my friends have said that they , really like about living on the southwest side is how easy it is to get to midtown and downtown Oklahoma city these homes move very fast so if you have questions you can give me a call or definitely watch this video next.
