Residents in Needmore-McKiddyville are south of Oklahoma City and surrounded by farmland and nature. OKC neighborhoods usually offer extra space for the locals, but Needmore-McKiddyville takes that to a new level. “OKC is really spread out, and this a great area with lots of room for people to plant their roots and spread their wings,” Jenna Lovelace says. Lovelace is the communications manager for VisitOKC.
One of the many reasons people live in this area is the home options. Home prices range from $50,000 to $200,000, with most falling between $125,000 and $175,000. House styles vary between Tudors, farmhouses and ranch-style. Locals can also purchase land lots to build the house of their dreams, with lots starting at around $40,000 and going north of $400,000. The main draw is the land and yards that the homes come with and the distance between homes.
Educational journeys begin at John Hubbard Elementary School, where the school posts updates on Facebook for activities going on at the school, like book fairs and spelling bees. The next stop on their academic adventures is Curtis Inge Middle School. Students can participate in sports like track and field, basketball and cheerleading. Teenage students will attend Noble High School, which offers band and E-sports, with the E-sports club live-streaming some of their games online. All three schools receive a B grade from Niche.
Being out of the city means locals have easy access to nature and recreational activities. Lake Thunderbird State Park is a popular spot for water activities like boating, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. The park has picnic tables and several acres of green space for visitors to spend an afternoon outside exploring. Kids reach new heights on the swing set and burn off some extra energy on the playground. Lexington Wildlife Management Area is the local wildlife refuge that offers nearly 10,000 acres of hunting area, campsites, a shooting range and fishing ponds. This popular hunting spot is where people go for deer, turkeys, quails and other wild game.
Needmore-McKittyville doesn’t have many restaurants and dining options close by, so they must travel outside the neighborhood for shopping. Native Spirits Winery is a local wine bar where locals can sample red and white wines. Head down to Norman for Sisters Mediterranean Taste for Mediterranean eats like falafel and shawarma. Neighbor’s Grocery is a grocery option for people to pick up handmade jerky and hot sauces. Residents will need to head north on Interstate 35 to find a Walmart Neighborhood Market, where people can go for their produce, deli meats and other groceries.
The neighborhood is about 40 miles outside Oklahoma City, so people still need their cars to get around the area and to OKC. “People can still commute to the city, and for some of them the commute is worth it,” Lovelace says. No public transportation is nearby, and the neighborhood could be more walkable.
