Ideal Homes Aren't Cheap

There's a reason some homes are cheaper. Some builders might cut corners or build cookie-cutter homes. Some builders are difficult to work with and leave a lot to be desired after you get the keys to the home. And frankly, the unknown problems behind the walls of a pre-owned home might shock you.

But at Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods we believe that if you're investing in your first home or forever home, it should be built with quality standards that go far beyond what's required to deliver a home that stands the test of time. Your new home should be as individual as you are and not a bland repeat of the home next door. You should love your home after a year as much as you do the day you move in.

Why Ideal Homes Are Worth Every Penny

Above and Beyond Customer Service

The award-winning Ideal Customer Care team sets Ideal homes apart from any other home - new or pre-owned. Imagine it's the middle of summer in Oklahoma and your a/c stops working. Would you rather deal with a 3rd-party home warranty that will send someone out next week or with your personal Ideal Customer Care representative who will coordinate a repair as quickly as possible? While rare, you may encounter an issue from time to time after moving into your new Ideal home. Unlike other builders who rely on third-party companies to manage warranty issues, our own Ideal Customer Care team holds themselves to the highest standard of customer service. 

"We had an issue with our air conditioning system over the Memorial Day weekend and I told myself it might be next week before we see anyone. To my surprise, an a/c service person pulled up and within a couple of hours fixed our issue. This was way beyond my expectations and was very much appreciated too. Thanks to the people of Ideal Homes..." - Ideal Homeowner

Completely Unique Homes

We pride ourselves on the vast amount of floor plans, design selections, and home styles available in an Ideal neighborhood. Unlike many new homes that look exactly the same as the home next door, every Ideal home is unique. We purposefully don't pack in expensive unwanted features and instead, focus on individuality and the most important features to you.

While other builders only allow you to select from a few packages of colors and design styles, Ideal designers hold your hand through the selection of many different options for your home. The Ideal professional design team curates options from the Ideal Design Studio - the largest of its kind in Oklahoma. They hand-select every feature of Ideal pre-designed homes to create the most curated and unique home for you.

Guaranteed Utilities & Energy Advantage Program

Would you rather pay more for your heating and cooling bills each month or add in an extra Amazon order? You definitely won't find this in a pre-owned home or new home from another builder: Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods is the only builder in Oklahoma to test every home* with a "blower door test" which detects any inefficiencies and air leakage throughout the home.

Every Ideal home* qualifies for the Energy Advantage Program and are the only homes in Oklahoma that come with guaranteed maximum energy usage for heating and cooling your home each month. If an Ideal homeowner ever exceeds the maximum guaranteed energy usage they will be reimbursed through our Energy Advantage partner.

Maximum Storage & Improvements

One of the biggest reasons our homeowners choose Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods is due to the innovative floor plans offering maximum storage. Each floor plan is designed and optimized by an architect focused on delivering kitchens with large pantries, closets in every corner possible, and even closet organization that comes standard in each bedroom. Floor plans are updated every few years to continuously improve storage options and flow. 

There's a significant difference between walking into an Ideal home and walking into a pre-owned home or home from another builder. An Ideal home has significantly more natural light, more inviting front porches, more storage, and more gathering space on the covered back patio than most other homes. The Ideal team innovates floor plans constantly to make each floor plan the most inviting home possible.

Quality That Stands The Test of Time

The Ideal quality standards go beyond what you'll see in a pre-owned home or from most other builders. We don't simply build a home to the required code. We go above and beyond. Ideal homeowners are so satisfied with their home even a year after moving in that we have one of the highest customer experience scores in the country.

When an Ideal homeowner is ready to move up to their next home, most include our name as a significant selling point to their future buyers because it carries a reputation for quality and trust.

* Homes in Pine Creek are built with the same high energy efficiency standards, but due to customizations in floor plans do not qualify for the guaranteed usage program.
