I had a TERRIBLE time finding a place to live in Lawton. The market changed dramatically(for the good!) after significant housing was completed on post. Summer of 2011, I was desperate — finished w/permissive TDY and no place to live. Fortunately, a very nice lady told me about the New Hope Cottages located by Cameron. The development begins on A Ave and goes over to E Ave. There are duplexes, quads and apartments. There are several different owners and they do range in price and amenities. I lived in two different places in New Hope. A couple of key points — 1) All relatively new and good repair — they are all less than 3 years old. New places are SO much easier to maintain, keep clean(since they are new) and look nice. 2) Security Systems — some have security systems and some do not. Mine both did and it was a quality system monitored via ADT. I would not have lived there w/o one — only cost $ 20 a month. 3) Garage — Again, I would not leave my car sitting out(really anywhere in Lawton), but each duplex has a one car garage. I know one car garages can be a little tight and a few of the places have two car garages. 4) Lawn Maintenance — I am not above doing yard work, but since I mowed and raked more than my fair share of lawns as a kid, I am not inclined to do any more! Lawn care is included in the lease. 5) The owners — as stated above, the duplexes, quads and apartments are owned by several different families. The owners were great and helpful during the few minor issues I had and never tried to rip me off with my deposits. It’s always good to work and deal with honest people! I took one star off only due to the location. The area has been cleaned up significantly by this development.
