These homes definitely fill a niche for people looking for a home to transition from the suburbs to downtown living. It definitely had the feel of a "normal" home, was very nicely appointed, and has all the advantages of living adjacent to the CBD.
After seeing the interior and the overall plan for the development, I honestly do not understand all the harsh criticism and fussing over it a few years ago. The development doesn't meet the strictest interpretation of new urbanist design, but given the location it isn't a horrible compromise if it gets more suburbanites thinking about moving downtown. It is good to have a choice such as this available as OKC tries to attract more people to move downtown. I will definitely consider them when I start looking seriously for a downtown home.
