A rapidly growing rural suburban city that's close to it all
The community of Newcastle is a rapidly growing rural, suburban neighborhood just south of Oklahoma City. Many homeowners are looking for more affordable options as areas closer to the city have become more expensive. The Oklahoma City area has grown as far as it can grow to the west,” explains Tammy Young, a realtor and new homes sales consultant with Vanguard Firm LLC, who has sold over 35 homes in the neighborhood. “Meaning Newcastle had gone from being a quiet neighborhood into a thriving community." The community comes together for annual events like the Red, White, and Blue Fest, and takes advantage of surrounding amenities, allowing residents to enjoy a home-town vibe, all while being close to big-city attractions.
Residents of Newcastle have plenty of space to breathe while still knowing their neighbors.

Ranch-style homes and crop fields
The residential areas of Newcastle look different based on which part of the city one is in. Found closer to the center of the community are dense, planned communities, home to sidewalks, newly paved streets and houses that sit atop plots of land no bigger than 0.5 acres. Driveways large enough for two vehicles lead to prairie-influenced ranch-style homes with modest landscaping lining the exterior. These tight pockets of homes contrast with the spacious yards of houses found in the rural parts of the city, where land is usually over one acre and shares its views with rolling cornfields, which can be found along main roads. Those looking to purchase a home in this community can expect a range from $160,000 for a three-bedroom home built in the late 1970s to $500,000 for a newly constructed four-bedroom Craftsman-style home. Alongside this, custom-built homes can exceed $1 million depending on size and acreage.

Commuting from Newcastle
Getting around the city is most convenient by car, as there are no public transportation opportunities. However, I-44, which cuts through the community, allows for easy commutes to work and fun in nearby areas like Oklahoma City, which is a 16.2-mile drive north. The interstate also provides an even shorter 11.5-mile trip to Will Rogers World Airport and the Community Hospital, which is a short 7-mile drive.

Shop and eat along North Main Street
Residents do most of their shopping and eating along North Main Street, which runs north to south through the center of the city. Here, locals can grocery shop at Happy Heart Homestead and enjoy breakfast at GG’s Country Cooking, a country-style hole in the wall. Nearby is Newcastle Marketplace, where guests can explore a booth-style boutique shopping experience. Retail shopping takes place up north at the local Walmart Supercenter, which sits less than a mile from the Newcastle Casino.
