Annecy Isn't One Neighborhood, It's Three Communities Wearing The Same Gate
Type "Annecy homes for sale" into a search bar and the listings that come back will look like they belong in different zip codes. One home sits on a quarter-acre lake lot and runs past a million dollars. Another sits on a third-acre with no water view and a lower price tag. A third is a compact, low-maintenance layout inside its own private gate with a clubhouse the rest of Annecy can't use. They're all called Annecy. They are not the same product, and if you're comparing this Edmond community against anywhere else in your search, that distinction matters before you ever look at a price per square foot.
Here's the friction that catches people off guard first: nothing in Annecy comes with a floor plan you can flip through. Every single lot, in every section, is custom. There's no move-in-ready inventory to walk through this Saturday, no builder catalog to pick from. You bring a vision or work with the builder's design team, get the design approved, and then construction starts. If you're used to shopping new construction in Deer Creek or NW OKC, where quick move-in homes sit finished and waiting, Annecy runs on a different clock entirely.
Annecy is a gated, master-planned community that broke ground around 2021 along NW 150th Street just west of MacArthur Boulevard, straddling the line between Edmond and Oklahoma City. Every section is built exclusively by Bill Roberts Custom Homes, but the builder has split the community into three distinct product lines, and each one comes with its own lot size, price expectation, and amenity access.
| Section | Typical Lot Size | Price Range | Private Amenities |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Lakes at Annecy | Roughly quarter-acre, lakefront or greenbelt | Homes near 3,800 to 4,000 square feet, generally $1 million to $1.6 million | Shared lakes, fountains, walking trails |
| The Manors at Annecy | Roughly third-acre | Positioned below Lakes pricing | Tree-lined streets, general Annecy trails |
| The Villas at Annecy | Compact, lock-and-leave lots, roughly 40 total | Not publicly listed | Private clubhouse and pool, exclusive to Villa owners |
That last line is the one worth sitting with. The Villas aren't a smaller version of the same amenities everyone else in Annecy gets. They're a separate 40-lot enclave with a clubhouse and pool that Lakes and Manors residents don't have access to. If a listing agent tells you a home is "in Annecy" without specifying which section, you don't yet know whether you're buying into shared lake frontage, a quieter interior street, or a gated pocket with its own pool nobody else in the community can use.
The custom-only model isn't a marketing detail. It changes the math on when you can actually close.
In a typical Deer Creek subdivision with spec inventory, a buyer relocating for a job in sixty days can often find a finished or nearly finished home and make the timeline work. Annecy doesn't operate that way as a rule. The builder's own community pages describe the process plainly: there are no predetermined floor plans, and every home requires final design approval before construction begins. That approval step, plus the build itself, is time most house hunters don't budget for when they first fall in love with a lake lot rendering.
There's a wrinkle worth knowing about, though. Even inside a "fully custom" community, a builder occasionally finishes a spec home on its own schedule and lists it for sale once it's underway or complete. The Villas at Annecy currently has at least one home marked ready for October 2026 on the builder's site, meaning a buyer who needs speed shouldn't assume every door in Annecy requires starting from a blank lot. The smarter move is to ask directly whether any spec or near-complete inventory exists in the section you're interested in, rather than assuming the community's general "custom only" story applies to every available lot at every moment.
Annecy has grown in phases rather than all at once. The Lakes section, for instance, had a second phase originally targeted for fall 2025 based on earlier reporting. Given that target was set before this year, if you're seriously considering a lot in that section, confirm current phase status and lot availability directly with the builder rather than relying on a timeline that may have already shifted. Phased luxury developments routinely move their own release dates, and the only reliable answer is the one you get today, not the one published last year.
All three Annecy sections feed into Deer Creek Schools, regardless of which side of the Edmond and Oklahoma City line a given address technically falls on. That matters for two reasons beyond the obvious school-district question. First, mailing addresses in border communities like this one can carry an Edmond address even when the parcel sits in Oklahoma City limits, or vice versa, which affects things like municipal services and sales tax jurisdiction, not just which school your kids attend. Second, if you're comparing Annecy against another NW OKC or Edmond community with a similar price point, don't assume the city line tells you anything about school assignment. Ask which district the specific lot feeds into before you compare it against a home somewhere else in the metro.
If you're comparing Annecy to other Edmond or NW OKC communities, a few questions will save you time:
None of these questions show up in a median price search. They show up when you're standing at a lot deciding whether the number in front of you reflects a finished Lakes home, a Manors home still in design review, or a nearly complete Villa with its own pool access.
Is Annecy in Edmond or Oklahoma City? The community sits along the border, west of MacArthur Boulevard near NW 150th Street. Individual addresses can carry either an Edmond or Oklahoma City designation depending on the parcel, but the schools across all three sections are Deer Creek Schools.
Can I buy an already-built home in Annecy, or is everything custom? The community is built around a fully custom model with no predetermined floor plans, but the builder does occasionally list spec or near-complete homes as they become available, particularly in the Villas section. Ask specifically about current inventory rather than assuming nothing exists.
Do the Lakes, Manors, and Villas share the same amenities? No. The Lakes and Manors share general community features like trails and the neighborhood's lakes and landscaping. The Villas operate as their own gated enclave with a private clubhouse and pool that residents of the other two sections don't have access to.
If you're weighing Annecy against another custom-build community in Edmond, or trying to figure out whether a fully custom timeline fits your move, Laura Lechtenberg has walked buyers through exactly this kind of comparison across Edmond's newer luxury developments. Schedule a consultation to talk through which section fits your timeline, your budget, and the amenities that actually matter to your household before you commit to a lot.
