Perry offers small-town living with access to I-35 and OKC
Perry is the seat of Oklahoma’s Noble County, about 65 miles north of Oklahoma City . Highway access makes it easy to get to the capital, especially its northern suburbs. “If we want to go somewhere, we just pop right on I-35,” says Brett Powers, broker and owner of Powers Real Estate, who was raised in Perry. “You can run to Edmond and do all your shopping and come back to peace and quiet.” Home to 4,500 residents, Perry is best known as the headquarters of the Ditch Witch construction equipment manufacturing company, initially established in 1948. The manufacturer is now a subsidiary of The Toro Company and employs over 1,000 workers, but many other job opportunities are within 25 to 50 miles. "Most people are commuters," Powers says. “We have a bunch of small towns around us like Stillwater , Enid , and Ponca City ."

Mix of ranch-style and Craftsman homes with wooded backyards
Perry’s central residential streets feature a blend of 1920s Craftsman-style and midcentury ranch-style and split-level homes. Many properties include driveways and wooded backyards, and most homes on the western edge of town are within walking distance of Perry’s public schools. Sidewalks border some roads near the schools, churches and downtown commerce but become rare on narrow side streets. Close to downtown, lots typically measure up to half an acre, but properties measuring 5 acres are available on the rural outskirts. Cottages and investment properties cost $45,000 to $80,000, while small ranch-style homes sell for $80,000 to $160,000. Larger Craftsman and ranch-style or split-level builds typically cost $170,000 to $275,000. Some New Contemporary builds have been added to the mix in the past 25 years; these fetch prices in the $265,000 to $400,000 range. Perry is in the area known as Tornado Alley, and siren testing takes place every Thursday. Homes with basements or storm shelters can help protect residents when twisters strike.

Community events and day care supplement church services
