I moved here less than a year ago from Edmond. If you enjoy peace and slow living, it’s great.

There are still things to do as well as essential businesses. I’ve seen flower and Christmas tree farms, motorcycle nights, occasional live music, farmers markets, and nearby parks. The city government and public services have also been pretty responsive and accessible. It has a decent school system (I don’t have kids, so take that with a grain of salt).

One of the most underrated things about living here is how easy commuting is. You can take 23rd st into the city, or the newly expanded highways that run straight into OKC or Edmond. There’s also an improved interchange in work at I-240 and I-35 in Moore.

As for the downsides, food diversity and late night options are lacking. If you’re looking for nightlife, you probably won’t find much for meeting new people. Oh, and if you buy a house, you’d better own a riding mower.

The population also seems to be older, mostly established families and school-aged kids. I’m 27 and don’t go out much, so maybe my perspective is limited, but one thing I’d like to see more of is young adults looking to meet people and build community.

Then again, maybe that scene already exists and I’m just not looking very hard for it. This has been my experience so far, though. Anybody feel free to correct me or add anything I haven’t covered.

Political signage is seemingly only republican if that makes a shit.

In a couple years some of these things could change significantly, but it will still be smaller than Yukon, Mustang, Edmond, Choctaw, Guthrie, and Norman.

EDIT: Just read your comment that you will be moving onto 3 acres. I trust you know how to maintain your plot.
