Downtown proximity is Capitol View’s draw
Musician Jack White once opined, “People talk about wanting amenities. Downtown is the amenity.” But for residents of Capitol View, the neighborhood’s proximity to Downtown Edmond is just one of a laundry list of amenities to enjoy. “It’s a very popular neighborhood for its location,” says Seth Bullard, a top Realtor with Keller Williams Central Oklahoma-Edmond. “So close to downtown, it’s just in a pretty great location for walkability to parks and retail, restaurants and even commercial aspects.”
Prices vary greatly in Capitol View
Home prices and styles in Capitol View are as varied as the options for nearby shopping, dining and entertainment. One of Bullard’s current listings, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a first-floor primary suite and a fully fenced-in back yard with a brick patio is a Contemporary-style build from 1953, priced at $222,000. Bullard notes that this falls on the lower end of the spectrum for list prices in the neighborhood. “In the last two years, we’ve seen listings anywhere from $130,000 to $775,000. It’s a huge range,” he says, adding that a home’s cost depends largely on its size and condition. And while Bullard acknowledges that there are some new builds in the area, he says that “for the most part, the homes here are older, and charming, built in the ‘40s and ‘50s.” You’ll find most midcentury architectural styles on display here, from Minimal Traditional and ranch-style bungalows to Split-Level and Contemporary-style homes. “There’s a good mix of styles,” says Bullard, “it’s got way more than just ranches.”
Downtown Edmond has shopping, dining and festivals
Beyond its wide variety of homes, Capitol View’s most appealing feature is its location. Less than a mile west, you’ll find a plethora of local restaurants in the Icehouse Project and the Edmond Railyard, two brand-new outdoor food court-style dining developments off of 2nd Street and Broadway. There’s more to the bustling heart of downtown than its food scene. “There’s Heard on Hurd, which is very popular, and there’s Edmond Vibes,” Bullard lists. Between March and October each year, the monthly Heard on Hurd Street festival is the event to attend to enjoy live music and food trucks. For those more interested in visual and performing arts, Edmond Vibes is a monthly come-and-go art walk-style event on the first Thursday of each month between April and October.
The month of July is when Downtown Edmond really comes to life. “The Fourth of July is very big,” Bullard says. “There’s Taste of Edmond at LibertyFest, it’s a whole huge event that the city puts on for the week of the Fourth, but really there’s a lot going on downtown for the whole month.” More than 40 local restaurants come together for A Taste of Edmond, the lynchpin of the LibertyFest Independence Day celebrations and what Travel Oklahoma calls “the city’s most anticipated culinary event of the year.” LibertyFest revelers can also enjoy everything from fireworks, concerts and car shows to footraces, radio shows and rodeos throughout the multi-day celebration.
Capitol View is within walking distance of parks
Even closer to home, Capitol View residents can enjoy the great outdoors at any one of three public parks. At less than a mile from most homes, the sunny Fink and Stephenson Parks are “super walkable, open common areas with tennis courts, basketball courts, play equipment, green spaces and picnic tables,” says Bullard. Fink Park, the larger of the two, sprawls over 7 acres in the northern part of the neighborhood, off 2nd Street. Its half-mile-long paved, multi-use trail connects to Hafer Park, just south of Capitol View.
Target and other big-box stores are nearby
For your everyday shopping, visit one of the three shopping centers less than a mile northeast of Capitol View clustered around Bryant and 2nd Street. Between Bryant Square, Alta Mesa and University Plaza, you’ll find everything from Target and Walmart Neighborhood Market to Lowe’s and Walgreens.
Kids can go to highly rated Edmond Public Schools
When the bell rings to signal the end of playtime, students in Capitol View attend schools in the highly sought-after Edmond Public Schools district. Many go to Will Rogers or Clegern Elementaries, both within half a mile of most homes. Bullard notes that Clegern, formerly one of the district’s lottery schools, is beginning to bring attention to the neighborhood. “It’s a very highly sought-after school,” he says, noting that while there’s no guarantee that students in Capitol View will be within Clegern’s boundary lines by the beginning of the 2024 school year, “they definitely will over time, and that’s a huge draw for young families.” While both Clegern and Will Rogers boast A grades from Niche, Clegern tops Will Rogers with its 9/10 GreatSchools Summary Rating.
