The Plaza at Town Square - A Historically Inspired Community

McCaleb Homes is excited to announce a new community that will be coming early 2018! This community has some key features that are unlike any other. We have taken the time to research what the best features were from the 1920’s to the 1950’s. In doing so, we have shaped the homes we build and the community of the Plaza at Town Square to fit these features while adding the benefit of the modern world. McCaleb Homes is proud of the results and we know that you will be too!

Our Homes – Interior

Our homes are designed after the Craftsman Bungalow homes that were prevalent between 1905 and 1930. These homes were beautiful, and that beauty has transcended time. A key feature of these homes is that they were built with a considerable amount of interior woodwork. This affected shelving, seating, and even the rafters and beams. You’ll notice that the homes we build reflect such an interior design. Walking through, your eyes will be drawn to the beauty of the natural wood rafters and beams. We have included shelving, seating, and storage made of real wood around the home and in closets to give a true bungalow home feel that intertwines with a modern feel.

Our Homes – Exterior

When you see the homes in The Plaza, your eyes will be drawn to something different on our streetscape. We have taken our inspiration from the Oklahoma City historical areas and implemented alley-loaded garages into the design for this community. This gives the homes here a more open layout. The possibilities are endless when it comes to the functionality of our floor plans with this design. Alley-loaded garages have also allowed us to bring back the true community feel of old-timey neighborhoods. During this era, homes were designed to encourage social interaction between neighbors. Encouraging recreation and activities in the front yard with neighboring families has been the aim in the exterior design.

The Community

With the exteriors of the homes in The Plaza, we have designed it to give every opportunity we could to make it different from the typical communities you see. Neighbors have become people that you just live by, sometimes not even being an acquaintance. We want a community to be how it use to be back in the day, when neighbors were like family. The kind that you invite over or borrow eggs from when you realize you’ve run out in the middle of a recipe. This is what we are building, a community of people who are more than just strangers. We have designed the community clubhouse to be in walking distance with ample features for a community to become close friends and families having fun together.

This historically inspired community is full of the best of the 1920’s-1950’s architecture and feel. We have not forgotten how far we have come since then in innovative design. You can always count on McCaleb Homes to put modern technology in their homes so that you don’t have to feel like you’re cooking in the 1920’s still. McCaleb Homes takes the best of both worlds and converges them into the beauty of a home and community.
