In Almor West, homes a bit bigger than some other nearby areas attract buyers who tend to stay. This is considered a family-oriented section of Lawton, filled with long-term residents and complete with a neighborhood park and elementary school. It’s common here to see kids walking to school with their families, and plenty more amenities are available within a 3-mile radius.
The homes around Almor West date back to the 1960s and 1970s, many of them single-story ranch-style options. A lot of these homes have been updated or remodeled, and floor plans average almost 1,400 square feet. “It would just be a family home with a little more space — three-bedroom, two bath. Or three-bedroom, one and three-quarter bath,” says Janis Ferguson, a local Realtor with The Property Shoppe who has more than 30 years of experience. Many of the neighborhood’s compact lots stretch about one-fifth of an acre and fill quiet, sidewalk-lined streets. Houses sell for between $90,000 and $200,000.
