Ideal Story
The Ideal Story
Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods began over 30 years ago in Norman, Oklahoma, when our founders set out to build a handful of high-quality homes with a focus on quality. Today, we’re proud to be one of the largest new home builders in Oklahoma, with more than 15,000 homes built and counting. Our mission remains the same: to deliver homes that are well-built, energy-efficient, and designed for every unique homeowner.

We are the only home builder in Oklahoma to offer Energy Advantage Certified homes with guaranteed heating and cooling costs on most Ideal homes, peace-of-mind warranties, and a 10-year structural warranty.
