I have lived in Edmond multiple times in my life. I first went to Edmond in the 1970’s . I went to 2 years of high school there and attended CSU (now called UCO) graduating in 1991. I lived there several times after graduating college and my parents lived there when they died. I have 2 sisters that still live there. I KNOW the area and where it came from. It is the rich suburb of OKC. It has been for decades Around the corner cafe has been there for many many decades but doesn’t have very good food (it’s probably the oldest restaurant in Edmond) I’ve seen Edmond grow over the decades
Moved to Edmond before this video was shot, but I agree with everything you said. We are very happy here. Chill and convenient! Neighborhood in East Edmond welcomed us right in, got invites to supper club and the wife to Bunco nights. Kind of helps that so many people in Edmond are or were corporate gypsies and understand that new people moving in are new opportunities for friends.
Don't need to watch the video,it is Oklahoma's best suburb. I've lived from small town Mississippi to NYC, Houston, and even Asia. Oklahoma County is my favorite place in the world
Very succinct video. Longtime resident of the Metro and just moved to Edmond myself. I already have a 10 year plan to move to East Edmond closer to 35 to be in my sister neighborhood.
Nice video, learned a lot. Exploring a little farther east for retirement. I want to visit, maybe on our next trip to Dallas. Mostly have been looking at Arizona, but Oklahoma is moving up the chart, and Edmond looks really nice. Wish I could convince the kids to make a big move cause California is so unaffordable for them, the American Dream is gone here! $800-$900k for a 1600’ fixer in SG Valley, not to mention the other ridiculous taxes, cost and insurance.😢. Hot summers don’t bother me, but the Oklahoma winters might be something this old So Cal boy might have trouble adjusting to.
Thanks for watching! Dallas and OKC are similar in weather because they are only 200 miles apart. In the winter Dallas is probably 3-7 degrees warmer. They both are going to have some cold days, but it's not like Chicago. You'll get days in the 30's and teens in January and February, but it's mostly upper 40's to low 60's. Honestly, I golf every month of the year. With that being said I literally closed on a house yesterday and the buyers are from California! Oklahoma is what people think Texas is going to be.
@@MovingtoOklahomaone set of kids are in Dallas area and we’ve considered that as a possibility, but seems like increased prices, sky high property taxes & insurance would be no better than L.A, even without a mortgage. 3-1/2 hour drive down the 35 would be quite reasonable. We drive 4-5 times a year to Chico Ca. now, to see other family, but it’s a 9 hour drive.
Non denominational churches… Life Church started there In the days of Jim Crow Edmond was a sundown city The Catholic church there is the church of Saint John the Baptist… that is how Baptist Edmond is
Thanks. OKC and Tulsa are separated by 100 miles, so I mainly focus on Oklahoma City. I can give you some pretty good info on Tulsa, but not this in depth
If you think you live in Edmond in truth you have to look at your address not your zip code. If you live on 2nd, 15th, 33rd , Danforth, Covell, Coffee Creek or Sorgum Mill rds it's mostly Edmond if you live east of Western and west of Post rd. Otherwise you probably live in okc , Oklahoma county, or Arcadia. Looking at the mile section lines like Nw 150th or Ne 234th . Like he said about Deer Creek its not a city but a school district in Nw okc Se Logan county and Nw Oklahoma county but it is growing fast may need another high school within 8 years to limit the school size below 5,000 kids. Edmond itself is projected to grow to between 250 to 500k residents in its 90 square miles depending on whether it starts having more apartments go up. My money is on about 350k with okc built up on 3 sides.
Every state has something, and for Oklahoma it's tornadoes. With that being said it's been a long time sine Edmond has been hit! When it comes to tornadoes you should respect them, but not live in fear.
I’ve lived in Midtown/Uptown for over 25 years. My in-laws lived in Fairview Farms and I worked off of 150th. Most hateful place I’ve ever been to. Couldn’t pay me to move there. Pulling teeth to even go to Memorial. My in-laws never knew any of their neighbors, all of our neighbors have pride flags and aren’t even gay! We’re all on group chat. No thank you.

I live in Edmond and it’s unbelievably amazing!!
No crime no drugs no violent crimes!!
It's a good place to be
Does tornadoes pass through there a lot?
@@quintonrivers4351 yes or close by!
Most homes have storm shelters so you won’t have to worry about it if you have one!
@@quintonrivers4351 A tornado can happen anywhere. But they are rare in Edmond.
That is not true
Great video Russell. We enjoyed it very much. Great quality and presentation. Thank you, we learned a lot of new information.
Thanks, if you have any questions don't hesitate to call or text

Yeah, it's an easy stress free drive.
Excellent video editing!
Thanks
Great place!
It's a pretty good spot
Great information I will be moving next year to Oklahoma
Glad I could help.
Non denominational churches… Life Church started there
In the days of Jim Crow Edmond was a sundown city
The Catholic church there is the church of Saint John the Baptist… that is how Baptist Edmond is
Guess nobody want to hear the UGLY SIDE... but it's true..
Nice video…any info on Tulsa?
Thanks. OKC and Tulsa are separated by 100 miles, so I mainly focus on Oklahoma City. I can give you some pretty good info on Tulsa, but not this in depth
Moved away from the Tulsa Metro 1976 , moved back for 2 1/2 yrs 1988-90. My treasure was the Quaint road trips
On Route 66 Between
Tulsa & Edmond OK…

Want to invest in rental there, will you be able to help? Thank you
Absolutely, just give me a call or text 4054134415
In my opinion the only thing Edmond has to offer over Broken Arrow, Oklahoma is it's University
Broken Arrow is a great place too.
Tornadoes a problem ?
Every state has something, and for Oklahoma it's tornadoes. With that being said it's been a long time sine Edmond has been hit! When it comes to tornadoes you should respect them, but not live in fear.
@MovingtoOklahoma thanks. I hope all buildings are proofed for this.

Norman is the only suburb I would even consider, but moving anywhere out of a great neighborhood would be stupid.
Thanks for the comment and watching the channel. There are a lot of great places to live in OKC.
