The suburb
What it actually is.
Edmond is the north side answer to almost every question a family asks. It is its own city with its own school district, and for a large share of buyers moving to the metro, the school district is the entire reason they are looking here rather than somewhere else. Edmond has grown immensely, and is quite large and spread out. The city offers homes from starter to multi-million dollar mansions depending on the area and neighborhood.
It is also where a great deal of the metro's new construction is happening, in master-planned communities on the north and east edges, alongside established neighborhoods closer to the historic downtown core and the university.
The houses
Predominantly newer, from 1990s through current construction, with established mid-century and older stock nearer central Edmond. Lot sizes and price points vary enormously depending on which side of the city you are on.
What I tell buyers before they write an offer here
An Edmond address does not guarantee Edmond schools. The district lines and the city limits are not the same lines, and parts of the Edmond mailing area feed other districts. I verify this in writing before we write an offer. Every time.
Register me before your first model home visit. Walk in alone and sign in, and some builders will refuse to recognize your agent afterward. It costs you representation and nothing to avoid.
HOA's - Common in many Edmond neighborhoods. But, not all.
New does not mean no inspection. Get one anyway, and use the builder's warranty period deliberately rather than letting it lapse.
Living here.
Parks, trails, a real downtown, great entertainment, shopping, and restaurants. The university, and a commute into Oklahoma City that most people find manageable. It is the most straightforward recommendation in the metro for buyers who want space, newer construction, and schools as the priority.
Who it suits
Families where school district is the deciding factor
Buyers who want new construction and a warranty
People moving to the metro who want lower crime rate area.
Who it doesn't
Anyone who wants to walk to a bar at eleven at night
