Low-cost homes and agriculture in a rural Oklahoma town
Geary's seeds were planted around the turn of the 20th century, when the small Oklahoma farming community briefly served as the starting point for the Choctaw Northern Railroad. Over the next few decades, the town grew into an agricultural hub. The population has since declined and currently hovers at just under 1,000, making it a good pick for homebuyers seeking a rural lifestyle about 50 miles west of Oklahoma City.
Geary grew into a quiet, rural town known for agriculture and local life.

Investment properties and ranch-style homes with substantial acreage
Fixer-uppers and ranch-style homes sit on narrow residential streets near the town center. On the outskirts, the landscape shifts to fields and farmland, and many properties include substantial acreage. While some streets have sidewalks, the concrete is sometimes overgrown and cracked in places. Sales are infrequent, but buyers can expect to spend $50,000 to $100,000 for an investment property or starter home, and ranch-style homes in good condition might sell for $175,000 to $350,000. “It’s so small, there really is no market there, but taxes are cheap,” says Pamela Gradle, a Realtor with Cultivate Real Estate who has eight years of experience selling in the area.
