Is there any view that there may be some residential development along Hwy 20 between Skiatook and 75 or are people betting that will stay ranch land, at least along the highway? Seems kind of ripe for bedroom community development.
There's already been a little residential development on the south side of Highway 20 just west of 75, and I expect there will be even more in the next few years. Right now they're building big houses (2700-3700 sf) on big, 1-5 acre lots. There's the Lantana Ranch subdivision, and The Falls is just getting started. I think the north side of Highway 20 will stay ranch land for a long time, with Star Lake Ranch's property taking up a big chunk of it. But if you head north from Highway 20 on Lewis, there are a lot of new houses in a couple new subdivisions (Breton Ridge & Redberry Hill). All those houses are large and expensive, too. My parents live just to the southwest of the new houses on Trenton, and we can see the rooftops from the front porch.
Further west of Trenton along Highway 20 will remain farmland until they solve the Bird Creek flooding problem. That is, if you consider it a 'problem' and not 'nature'. I don't know why people build in flood plains and then try to "correct" this "problem" by altering nature.
There are new housing developments between highway 75 and Skiatook along 126th St N, too. There's a big one adjacent to highway 75 (Cooper Landing), and a smaller one (Cooper Hill) a mile to the west.
