Moved here from Texas 6 months ago and have spent a ton of time in Oklahoma over the years. Most new construction in Oklahoma is a modern ranch house style with builders offering like 3 brick options and 2 stone options. Inside, they’re all designed with the modern farmhouse aesthetic in mind. They all look the same. Same shit in Texas.

Brick and stone aren’t as common up here for a reason. Roof pitches are typically steeper up here for a reason. It’s a very different climate that needs to be accounted for.

But based on your post and comments, you probably wouldn’t like it here and would struggle to make friends. People here are kind, but typically more reserved and take time to fully open up. If this is an accurate reflection of how you communicate, be ready to feel quite isolated.

Personally, I will add that the move up here has been refreshing. It’s a bit slower pace, the air is cleaner, there’s a real sense of community I’ve never experienced anywhere else, and the people are generally more genuine and far less shallow than in the south.

As a bonus, your soil doesn't shift, potentially destroying your foundation like in North TX, South OK. Sure, you might have to contend with Radon, but there are ways to mitigate it.
