HGTV's House Hunters was on just a bit ago, and the episode revolved around a guy in North Carolina who was looking to buy his first home, with his Mom as his realtor.

The second house of the episode was a townhome (not wild about that aspect) that was nicely finished. It wasn't so much the house that impressed me, what I really liked was the community. This new development was to eventually include: retail/shopping on the outer edge, restaurants within walking distance on the outer edge, a jogging trail that rings the entire place, a swimming pool, a train station that would take passengers into Charlotte, an amphitheater, and some other amenities. The price was a reasonable $175k. Monthly HOA fees provided phone, internet, cable, and lawn care.

Does the OKC metro have any developments like that?

I know that we have communities that have some of the above, what I am trying to stress is how planned-out the community was, and the fact that it included built-in shopping and retail. I found the concept very attractive. If we have something like this in the metro I would love to hear about it. (I know that the core downtown is starting to get some condos built out like this, but another feature of this community that I liked was that you still got a yard). If we have nothing like this then I hope some home builders read this and consider building a community like it.



The episode (house #2 starts at the 8 minute mark... you'll have to set through forced commercials):
