    I have lived in Edmond, OK for 10 years and I am proud to call it home. It s a very family-friendly area, safe, lots of chain restaurants and shops, incredible schools that people come from out of state to attend, and quick access to anything you need. Anything and everything in Edmond is from 5-15 minutes away from wherever you are. Great neighborhoods, is constantly expanding with new growth and building, and high police patrol. Highly recommend to anyone looking into living here!
