Enjoy the Best of Both Worlds in Deer Creek

When asked to describe Deer Creek, one resident summarized the community perfectly: “It’s a small town with a 6A football team.”

Deer Creek offers the best of both worlds. Located within Edmond, Oklahoma’s fifth-largest city, it has managed to keep its rural charm and slower pace of life. Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods is excited to be a part of this growing community with Knox Farm, an Ideal Neighborhood with homes ranging from 1,158 to 2,136 square feet.

Top Schools

Deer Creek isn't an official town, it's a unique community within Edmond. This means that Knox Farm homeowners have Edmond addresses, utilities, and other services. The Deer Creek School District – a significant factor for many families moving to the area – serves as a defining feature that differentiates it from Edmond.

The Deer Creek School District is rated in the top 3% of all districts in Oklahoma. It has an A rating, as do all of its elementary schools. Elementary-aged children in Knox Farm attend Deer Creek Elementary School, which is ranked in the top 5% of all Oklahoma elementary schools. 

Deer Creek schools are split slightly differently than some districts in the area:

• Elementary: Pre-K – 4th Grade
• Intermediate: 5th – 6th Grades
• Middle: 7th – 8th Grades
• High School: 9th – 12th Grades

The Deer Creek School District attributes its excellent reputation and student outcomes to multiple factors, including high teacher salaries that attract top talent, involved parent partnerships, and a commitment to keeping class sizes small. High school students can also benefit from concurrent courses offered through a partnership with the nearby University of Central Oklahoma.

Shop, Play, and Work

Deer Creek’s location means you can enjoy the charm of country living…and still go out for sushi or shop for your favorite organic produce. Driving mere minutes east to Edmond or south to Oklahoma City, you’ll find multiple grocery stores, including Sprouts Farmers Market, Natural Grocers, ALDI, Crest, Walmart, and Target. 

Despite recent growth (that 6A football team was 3A just 20 years ago), the community champions locally owned businesses and restaurants. In the heart of Deer Creek, you'll find several family-owned restaurants with deep roots in the area. There are also plentiful chain restaurants along the community’s outskirts.

The Ideal neighborhood is a quick drive to three golf courses, a 25-minute drive to the Oklahoma City Zoo and Science Museum Oklahoma, and minutes from Lake Hefner. If you don't feel like venturing out of Knox Farm, enjoy the walking trails, grand playground, or brand-new splash pad all within the neighborhood.

When the weekend’s over, Knox Farm's convenient access to Highway 74 makes commuting easy. Major employers such as Paycom, Mercy Hospital, the University of Central Oklahoma, and the corporate headquarters of Love’s Travel Stops are all nearby, making Knox Farm ideal for professionals in the area.

Find Your “Best of Both Worlds”

Deer Creek is a place where the pace of life is slower, people know each other’s names, and community is valued. At Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods, we believe that makes Deer Creek truly IDEAL.
