Midcentury Ranch-style houses on quiet streets
Housing dates back to the 1950s, and many of the brick ranch-style homes feature midcentury flair. Colonial revivals and renovated builds can also be found scattered throughout the quiet, lightly trafficked streets. “Because most of the homes in this area were built between the 1950s and 1980s, there are many styles of siding, facades, interior layouts and more,” Speirs says. “You may see a nearly all-original house sitting next to a complete remodel, which is why pricing varies quite a bit in the area.” Prices range between $150,000 and $300,000, which is above the average for the city of Lawton. The Enclave is a gated section of the neighborhood with stately brick homes and multicar garages.
Morford Hills has many brick ranch-style homes, from modern designs to classic styles.
In Morford Hills, you’ll find a variety of brick ranch-style homes, both modern and classic.
