Timberland Creek—Edmond’s Premier Custom Home Community for Families

If you’re searching for the ideal place to build your dream home in Edmond, Oklahoma, Timberland Creek deserves your attention. Developed by Scott Looper, this gated community blends the quiet of country living with the convenience of city access and top-rated schools. As one of three exclusive builders in Timberland Creek, Heim Custom Homes offers families the opportunity to create a home tailored to their lifestyle. Below, discover what makes Timberland Creek Edmond’s best custom home community, with details on location, schools, commutes, and the benefits of building with Heim Custom Homes.

Why Timberland Creek Stands Out

Timberland Creek is located in North Edmond at Broadway and Simmons Road, offering a peaceful, gated environment with mature trees and expansive green space. Each homesite features a generous 3/4-acre lot, giving you plenty of room for outdoor living, gardening, or a workshop—rare for communities this close to Edmond’s amenities. The thoughtful design of the neighborhood ensures that every home enjoys privacy, while still fostering a sense of community among neighbors. Whether you dream of a backyard pool, a vegetable garden, or a play area for your kids, Timberland Creek gives you the canvas to create your perfect outdoor oasis.

The gated entrance adds an extra layer of security and peace of mind for families, while the layout of the community encourages walking, biking, and outdoor play. Mature trees and green spaces not only create a beautiful setting, but also attract local wildlife, making every day feel a little closer to nature.

Edmond Public Schools—A Major Draw

One of the biggest reasons families choose Timberland Creek is its access to Edmond Public Schools, consistently ranked among Oklahoma’s best. Here’s a closer look at the schools serving the community:
