Established residential living in the heart of Lawton
The Lawton neighborhood of Morford has maintained a slower pace of life as the city’s vibrant commercial areas have grown around it. Bustling shopping centers and highly rated public schools are under 2 miles away, while Fort Sill, Lawton's largest employer, is just 2.5 miles away. However, the homes here have kept their classic charm and many sit on quiet, tree-lined streets. "Most of the homes in this area were built in the 1950s, and many of them have preserved vintage touches," says Heaven Speirs, a local Realtor with Park Jones Realty and Lawton native. "Most of the lots are large with mature trees and landscaping, especially the corner lots on the curved streets."
Owners take great pride in maintaining their homes in Morford.

Midcentury ranch homes with architectural flair
Housing here is primarily brick ranch-style homes from the 1950s. Some feature Tudor-revival-style architectural staples like pitch-gabled roofs, while others have modern farmhouse flair. Quant craftsman-style cottages with vinyl siding are scattered throughout. Small grassy lawns are common, as are multicar garages. Three-bedroom home prices range from $90,000 to $200,000. Fixer uppers and older builds in need of a little TLC can sell for as low as $30,000. "There are hidden gems throughout the Morford neighborhood, including fully remodeled homes and profitable investment opportunities," Speirs says.

An international party at Elmer Thomas Park
Elmer Thomas Park hosts many events throughout the year, including the International Festival. The three-day celebration, which takes place in September, highlights the city's diverse heritage and cultures through performances and demonstrations. The event begins with an opening ceremony and parade of nations, and many live performances are held across two stages. Freedom Festival and Holiday in the Park are other popular gatherings held at Elmer Thomas Park. "In the wintertime, the park does a lot of stuff for Christmas like hot coco and caroling," says Krist Brabaw, local Realtor with Coldwell Banker Salute. "It's great for the community."
