Searching for new home communities in Oklahoma City? At Shaw Homes, we are a premier builder of new homes in the OKC metro area, including communities in Edmond and Guthrie. Choosing a new home in a newly established neighborhood can be a great option to consider for many reasons, including the following.

7 Reasons To Choose New Construction

While buying an older is still “new” to you, there are several advantages of purchasing new construction in lieu of an existing home.

1. Customization & Personalization Options

When purchasing in a new community, buyers often have the opportunity to customize their homes during construction, such as choosing finishes, fixtures, and layouts. This allows homeowners to create a space that matches their own personal style and preferences.

With our Design Studio, homebuyers can work with home design experts to create an interior design that truly reflects your personality. Some of the features that can be customized include the flooring, light fixtures, paint colors, kitchen and bathroom fixtures, cabinetry, closets and storage features, countertops and more.

2. Updated Infrastructure

Infrastructure, such as roads, utility lines, and drainage systems are brand new in most Oklahoma City new home communities, reducing the likelihood of maintenance issues and disruptions.

3. Energy Efficiency & Technological Advancements

New homes are built with modern building codes and standards, which often include energy-efficient materials, insulation, windows, and appliances. This leads to lower utility bills and a reduced environmental footprint.

4. Lower Maintenance Costs

Everything in a new home—from the roof to the appliances—is brand new and typically comes with builder warranties, reducing the need for immediate repairs and maintenance costs. In contrast, older homes may require updates to aging systems such as HVAC, plumbing, or electrical, which can result in higher upfront and ongoing maintenance expenses.

5. Higher Property Value Appreciation Potential

New communities often see a steady increase in property values as the area develops and more amenities are built. Early buyers in a new community may benefit from significant property appreciation over time. Real estate in older communities can have slower appreciation rates, and home values may fluctuate depending on the condition of nearby properties and community desirability.

6. Future Growth & Development

New communities are often situated in areas with planned future growth, including new schools, shopping centers, and other developments that enhance the neighborhood’s value and convenience over time. Established communities may be more static, with fewer opportunities for significant growth or redevelopment.

7. Access to New Schools & Educational Facilities

Many new communities are built with families in mind and may include brand-new schools or be part of highly-rated school districts. This can be an attractive feature for families with children. Older communities may have schools that are further away or may not have the latest facilities and technology.

Our New Homes In OKC

We offer new homes in several OKC communities. For instance, we offer new homes in Edmond OK in Fox Lair Estates, the Preserve at Covell Valley and Rush Creek. These homes start in the mid $400s and range in size from about 2,400 square feet up to nearly 3,500 square feet.

In Guthrie, we offer homes in Prairie Pointe Estates. These highly affordable homes start in the upper $200s and range in size from about 1,441 square feet up to more than 2,200 square feet.

We also are excited to announce new homes in Piedmont in the Town Central community. These homes will start in the low $400s and range in size from 1,735 square feet up to more than 2,300 square feet.

We also work as Tulsa home builders with new homes for sale in Owasso OK, new homes for sale in Broken Arrow OK, new homes for sale in Jenks, and new homes for sale in Bixby OK.

In both Tulsa and Oklahoma City, we offer homes that are move-in ready as well as homes under construction. If you need to move quickly, the move-in ready homes can be a great option, but if you have some extra time, the under-construction homes can be a good choice as you will be able to customize the interior design to your tastes.
