Im moving to Edmond this summer and I would love to find an house to rent with a basement. I've only lived in california and basements are pretty much unheard of where I am in sacramento. If anybody could find a link to an place with a basement I will give you my soul (lol). But it would be greatly appreciate it.

I am not sure of many homes in the area with a basement. Not to say there arent any but I have lived in Edmond for 15yrs and have never been in a house with a basement. Good luck though

Most homes in OK..instead of having a basement directly under the house have storm cellars, usually in the backyard.

I want to have a room in the basement. I wouldnt mind living anywhere around edmond either.

Nah basically here there are attics. I was told something about our mud makes attics crack.

Don't bother looking for basements in Oklahoma, we just don't build any.

Actually, if you were willing to live just north of Ponca City, there's a house with a basement....my dad and grandfather built that house and I grew up in it.

We lived in OKC (Putnam Heights) and had a lovely finished basement w/ a pool table and fireplace. There ARE basements, it's just not the norm (like in the rest of the Midwest). Our home in Edmond had a storm shelter in the garage.

Hi, longtime reader first time poster. Here we go......
First of all, anyone who wants to talk about bad schools in OKC and "high-collared" (white collar?), "classy" Edmond obviously doesn't know much about Oklahoma City. Ask anyone who lives or grew up in any of the more central neighborhoods/areas such as Crown Heights/Edgemere, Nichols Hills, Heritage Hills, Mesta Park, or even Belle Isle. Edmond isn't where the "classy" (i hate that word) higher-society people live. Edmond is populated by nouveaux-semi-riche living in "historic" houses dating back to the 1990's and driving H2s and sending their kids to barely passable public schools. Oklahoma City has Casady, McGuinness, and Heritage Hall. When it comes to schools in OKC, you do get what you pay for.
