The center of the Tri-City Area
The “Tri-City Area” southwest of Oklahoma City is made up of three small communities: Newcastle, Tuttle and Blanchard. While Newcastle is in McClain County and Tuttle is part of Grady County, Blanchard straddles the line between both. It’s also in the center of the trio population-wise, with 9,000 residents who are quick to reach out to newcomers. “It’s really tight-knit,” says Marcie Billen, a Realtor with Keller Williams Mulinix and host of Oklahoma Real Estate on YouTube. “I went to one of the diners last year with clients, and three different families introduced themselves.” The rural town is slowly growing as more people cotton to the benefits of living close to the capital and its largest suburb, Norman. “The metro area is pushing out toward the outskirts, and Blanchard is on the outskirts,” says Melissa Murchison, Realtor with MK Partners. “You have people trying to get away from the city, but not so far out that they can’t commute to a job, or shopping, or entertainment.”
The clean streets of Blanchard make this a great place to live.

Easy ride on Highway 62
The oil industry maintains a firm hold on the local economy, but most residents work in the larger cities nearby. Commuters have a 15-mile ride to Norman and a 30-mile drive to Oklahoma City. Highways 9 and 62 provide the best route to Norman, as they’re typically well-maintained and have few stoplights. Highway 62 also connects to Interstate 44, which leads into Oklahoma City. Some residents might make the 20-mile commute west to Chickasha, the seat of Grady County and home of the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.
New construction on large lots
The median home price in Blanchard is $330,000, higher than in Oklahoma City but significantly lower than the national median. Plenty of well-maintained homes and contemporary new builds are priced from $200,000 to $400,000. One of the perks of Blanchard’s real estate market is land availability, so many properties include sizable acreage. Luxury homes in West Blanchard can sell for $500,000 to $750,000, and some builders are casting their nets farther west toward Tuttle. “A lot of the new construction is actually in Bridge Creek,” Billen says. “That’s a different town, but it’s still Blanchard-ish.”
