If you’ve spent any time on the east side of Edmond, you’ve probably heard people talk about The Territories with that tone that means, “that’s one of the good ones.” And it is. The Territories is a private, gated luxury addition just east of I-35, positioned close to the East 15th Street and 164th Street corridor, giving you that rare mix of privacy and everyday convenience.
Location that makes life easy
One of the biggest advantages of The Territories is the location. You get the space and quiet of an estate neighborhood without feeling like you live “out in the country.” Being near I-35 means:
Quick access into Edmond and Oklahoma City
Easy commuting north or south
Convenient runs for shopping, services, and dining without wasting half your day in the car
And if you love being outside, you’re also not far from Lake Arcadia and the trail system that makes this side of town so appealing for active lifestyles.
The entrance is the statement
Let’s talk about what everyone remembers: the gated entry. One thing I love about The Territories is that entrance experience. It genuinely feels like you’re pulling into a private mountain community somewhere in Colorado. It’s not just a gate, it’s an arrival. And that matters in luxury real estate because first impressions are everything.
Space, privacy, and estate-style living
The Territories is known for larger homesites and a private, wooded feel. That space changes how you live day-to-day:
More distance between homes
Room for outdoor living that actually feels like a destination
Space for a pool, sport court, garden, workshop, or guest quarters
A setting that feels tucked away, while still staying connected to everything (shopcompanies.com)
What’s nearby and what’s coming
This part is a big deal for the east Edmond corridor. The I-35 and Covell area (just a short drive from The Territories) has been building momentum, and the Legacy at Covell development has been tied to a Whole Foods Market as an anchor.
What else is being discussed for that same area includes several notable retail and restaurant names buyers ask about all the time, such as Shake Shack, Chipotle, First Watch, Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant, Texas Roadhouse, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Real-world note: some of these have been described publicly as “prospects” as leasing unfolds, so I always advise buyers and sellers to focus on the bigger picture: this corridor is evolving into one of Edmond’s most convenient lifestyle hubs, and that kind of growth typically increases demand for nearby neighborhoods that already have the luxury and privacy piece nailed down.
Selling in The Territories
I’ve sold homes in The Territories, and I can tell you the buyers who want this combination of gated privacy, estate-style living, and quick I-35 access don’t shop casually. Positioning matters. Pricing matters. Presentation matters.
If you’re thinking about buying in The Territories or selling a home there, I’d love to help you navigate it the right way with a clear plan and first-class marketing through The Agency.
