Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods are designed to the highest standards by Oklahomans for Oklahomans. Every home exceeds a 5-Star Energy Efficiency Rating and comes with a peace-of-mind warranty, including a 1-year builder warranty and a 10-year structural warranty.
With more than 12,000 homes built in central Oklahoma, we understand what locals need. Oklahoma residents know that safety is essential, especially when it comes to tornadoes.
Every new Ideal Home comes with tornado ties and anchors as standard features. While some builders include storm shelters in the base price, we believe homeowners should have the freedom to choose the shelter type that’s best for them. We work with trusted companies to install a variety of shelter options, from above-ground to below-ground, into your custom Ideal home or choose to save money if you don't want to install a shelter.
Why Moore Gets an A+
“Living in Moore is fantastic and undoubtedly the most convenient place we’ve ever lived. Being just miles away from both Norman and Oklahoma City, getting anywhere is a breeze. We’re in close proximity to both I-35 and I-44 as well as all the major dining and shopping that 19th Street has to offer. Target, Chick-Fil-A, Hideaway Pizza, and Johnnie’s Charcoal Broiler are some of the hot spots for our family.” -Kyle, Native Plains
Moore is ideally centered between four important OKC destinations.
- North: Downtown Oklahoma City
- East : Tinker Air Force Base – the largest single-site employer in the state
- South: Norman and the University of Oklahoma
- West: Will Rogers World Airport
Still, convenience is by no means the city’s main draw. Moore is home to the A-Rated Moore Public Schools, ranked in the top 3 percent of all Oklahoma school districts.
Moore Public Schools are known for their academics, athletics, college prep, and outstanding clubs and activities at every age level. The district has an active PTA and a foundation that is supported throughout the community.
In what is nearly unheard of for cities with award-winning schools, Moore also has a lower cost of living than some of the surrounding areas.
Shop and Play in Moore
Moore is a shopping destination, attracting people from South OKC to Norman. Retail along 19th Street has grown significantly in recent years, making it a convenient hub for specialty purchases and weekend errands. It features restaurants like Hideaway Pizza, Torchy’s Tacos, and Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar, and is home to one of four Costcos in Oklahoma.

Just minutes away, you can explore the nation’s only Museum of Osteology or visit the OKC Boathouse District, where the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams train.
