There are so many reasons to fall in love with Oklahoma City. Capital of the Sooner State, OKC provides its residents with the perfect balance between urban excitement and small-town charm. From an affordable cost of living and a unique cultural scene to family-friendly fun wherever you turn, OKC truly has it all for a family of any size.
At Beacon Homes, we believe that a modern, energy-efficient home isn’t enough when it comes to your future — you deserve a hometown that checks off all the boxes on your list too. That’s why we’re proud to build our distinct homes around OKC, a vibrant, ever-growing city that “specializes” in fulfilling experiences.
What It’s Like Living in OKC
When you decide to build a brandnew home in OKC, you become a part of a community and neighborhood that understand what “home” means. From the locally owned coffee shop you’ll look forward to visiting every morning to the charming streets that will take you to familiar and new places, one of the OKC neighborhoods where we build is where the best chapters of your life will unfold.
If you currently live in or near a larger city, you may be at a point in your life where the constant hustle and bustle doesn’t excite you anymore. But that doesn’t mean you want to give it all up. On the other hand, if you live in a rural area, you might be looking for a closer proximity to downtown excursions, without sacrificing peace and quiet. In a neighborhood around OKC, you truly have the best of both worlds. You’ll enjoy the serenity of a scenic, secure Beacon Homes neighborhood, while being close to the exciting things you love downtown, without all of the congestion, high prices, and cramped space of larger cities.
In a new Beacon home, you’ll enjoy the comfort of an open-concept living area that’s designed to bring family and friends together, along with a wide open outdoor area to enjoy the seasons — then when you want to explore downtown, you have the family-friendly fun of OKC just a short drive away.
Things to Do in OKC
From shopping, dining, and unique museums to lakes, nature centers, and the area’s best parks, there’s never a shortage of things to enjoy and new adventures to explore in this one-of-a-kind city that’s so easy to call your hometown.

Outdoor Recreation: There’s truly nothing like the great outdoors in OKC. When you’re looking to “disconnect” from technology and explore beyond the city, you have easy access to scenic, wonder-filled outdoor excursions nearby. If you love a little adventure, check out the Boathouse District along the Oklahoma River, home to RIVERSPORT, where you can go biking, kayaking, rowing, paddle boarding, and so much more. (RIVERSPORT is now offering indoor skiing and snowboarding!) For a more relaxing outing, go for a leisurely walk or have a picnic along Lake Hefner, play a round of golf at one of the many public courses, go for a hike along the city’s 10 interconnected trails, or explore the Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge, which provides 1,000 acres of hiking, fishing, and bird watching opportunities.
Dining: With a wide variety of dining establishments, from gourmet restaurants and cocktail bars to pizza parlors and hip breweries, it’s safe to say that OKC is a certified “foodie” city. No matter what kind of experience you’re looking for, whether a fun-filled day out with your kids or a romantic date night in the evening, you’re sure to find a delicious eatery to fulfill all of your cravings. Take a journey on the “culinary edge” at Grey Sweater, enjoy cajun-inspired dishes at Bourbon St. Cafe, stop for brunch at Stella, indulge in street food with a twist at Big Truck Tacos, treat yourself to oysters and cocktails at Pearl’s Oyster Bar, and the list goes on.
