Cashion & Guthrie Spotlight: 6 Reasons More Oklahoma Homebuyers Are Choosing Life North of OKC

When people begin searching for a new home in the Oklahoma City metro, they often start with the same familiar cities. Edmond. Yukon. Mustang. Moore.

But just a little farther north, two communities continue to catch the attention of homebuyers looking for something different: Cashion and Guthrie. These communities aren't trying to be the busiest places in Oklahoma, and that's exactly the appeal. Here, you'll find room to spread out, excellent schools, growing communities, and the kind of homesites that are becoming increasingly difficult to find throughout the OKC metro. At the same time, you're never far from Edmond, Oklahoma City, or the everyday destinations that make life convenient.

At Homes by Taber ®, we're intentional about where we build. Every community is selected because it offers homeowners long-term value, strong local schools, and the opportunity to build a life; not just purchase a house. That's exactly why we're excited to continue growing in Cashion and Guthrie with communities like 74 Crossing, Sunset Ridge, and Rolling Oaks.

If you're searching for new homes in Cashion, OK, new homes in Guthrie, OK, or simply want more space without giving up access to the city, here are six reasons these communities deserve a closer look.

1. You Can Finally Have the Space You've Been Looking For

One of the biggest reasons buyers are making the move north is simple: space.

As the Oklahoma City metro continues to grow, finding large homesites has become increasingly difficult. Many newer neighborhoods maximize every square foot, leaving little room between homes. That's where Cashion and Guthrie offer something refreshingly different.

At 74 Crossing, homeowners can enjoy expansive one-acre homesites (mol), giving families more outdoor space to enjoy, more privacy, and more flexibility for the future.

Over in Guthrie, Sunset Ridge features acreage homesites that create an entirely different feel from a traditional subdivision. Whether you envision a backyard built for entertaining, room for kids to play, or simply a little more breathing room, these larger homesites allow you to enjoy your property the way you want.

For buyers searching for new construction homes with land near Oklahoma City or acreage homes in Cashion and Guthrie, these opportunities continue to become harder to find, which makes these communities even more unique.

2. These Communities Give You More Freedom at Home

For many homeowners, having more land also means wanting a little more flexibility in how they use it. That's another reason communities like 74 Crossing and Sunset Ridge stand apart.

At 74 Crossing and Sunset Ridge, homeowners have flexibility with shops approved throughout the communities. Whether you've always wanted dedicated space for woodworking, automotive projects, hobbies, or additional storage, having the ability to build a shop opens possibilities that many traditional neighborhoods simply don't allow.

Sunset Ridge also welcomes homeowners to raise chickens for personal use, creating another opportunity to embrace a lifestyle that's becoming increasingly popular among buyers looking for more self-sufficiency and room to grow.

These aren't features you'll find in every new home community, and they're a big reason buyers continue to gravitate toward Guthrie and Cashion.

3. You're Close to Edmond and Oklahoma City Without Living in the Middle of It

One misconception about living north of Oklahoma City is that you're sacrificing convenience, but the reality is quite the opposite.

Living in Cashion means you're just a short drive from both Edmond and northwest Oklahoma City. Whether you're commuting to work, heading out for dinner, shopping, or spending a weekend in the city, it's all within easy reach.

Guthrie offers similar advantages. Rolling Oaks sits just off S. Midwest Blvd. and E. Charter Oak Rd., providing quick access to I-35 and placing homeowners roughly 12 minutes from Covell Road in Edmond. Everyday errands, restaurants, entertainment, and shopping are all nearby, while ShowBiz Cinemas and other Edmond destinations are only minutes away.

That accessibility makes a real difference. You can enjoy the quieter pace of Cashion or Guthrie while still taking advantage of everything Edmond and the greater Oklahoma City area have to offer. It's one of the reasons more buyers searching for new homes near Edmond are beginning to expand their search into these growing communities.

4. Strong Schools Continue to Attract Families

Location matters, but so do the schools that serve your community. Families moving to 74 Crossing become part of the highly respected Cashion Public School District, where students benefit from strong academics, supportive teachers, and smaller student-to-teacher ratios. Cashion High School continues to receive outstanding marks for college readiness, while Cashion Elementary and Middle School consistently earn high ratings for academics and teaching quality.

In Guthrie, both Sunset Ridge and Rolling Oaks are located within the Guthrie Public School District, where schools emphasize personalized learning and community involvement. With favorable student-to-teacher ratios throughout the district, students have opportunities to receive more individualized attention while growing academically, socially, and personally.

For many families relocating to the Oklahoma City area, access to respected school districts plays a significant role in choosing where to build a new home, and both Cashion and Guthrie continue to stand out.

5. There's Still a Strong Sense of Community

One thing that draws people to both Cashion and Guthrie isn't something you'll find on a map. It's the people.

These are communities where local events are well attended, neighbors know each other, and hometown traditions still matter. In Guthrie, Oklahoma's rich history comes alive throughout its beautifully preserved downtown district. Local shops, restaurants, festivals, the Pollard Theatre, and the annual Territorial Christmas Celebration all contribute to a community that's proud of where it came from while continuing to grow for the future.

Cashion offers a different (but equally appealing) atmosphere. Community events, local parks, school activities, and hometown pride continue to make it one of Oklahoma's hidden gems. It's the kind of place where families become involved quickly and newcomers feel welcome.

For many buyers, that's exactly what they're looking for.

6. A Proudly Overbuilt ® Home Makes the Difference

Finding the right location is important, but choosing the right builder matters just as much.

At Homes by Taber, every Proudly Overbuilt ® home reflects decades of experience and a commitment to building homes that deliver lasting value. Features that many builders consider upgrades come standard, including Healthy Home Technology, energy-efficient construction, HERS-rated performance, and the in-ground storm shelter that's included in every home we build.

Whether you're building a home on an acre in 74 Crossing, enjoying the flexibility of Sunset Ridge, or looking ahead to life in Rolling Oaks, you'll have confidence knowing your investment was built with quality, safety, and long-term performance in mind.

As Oklahoma's Favorite Builder ®, we believe buying a new construction home should be about more than finishes and floor plans. It should be about choosing a community where you can see yourself for years to come.
