Why the Tacoma Floor Plan Continues to be a Customer Favorite
November 10, 2025
If there’s one floor plan that always seems to win hearts, it’s the Tacoma by Capital Homes. It’s easy to see why this design has become a long-standing favorite among families across Owasso, Bixby, and Broken Arrow—it just works. From the layout to the livability, every detail feels intentional and comfortable, like it was designed with real life in mind.The Tacoma is a 1,961-square-foot home featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a private study with beautiful French doors—a space that’s as versatile as it is charming. Whether you need a quiet home office, a playroom, or a cozy reading nook, it adapts perfectly to your lifestyle.But what really makes this plan stand out is how open and inviting it feels. The kitchen flows right into the dining and living areas, so you’re never far from the action when you’re cooking or entertaining. Large windows fill the space with natural light, and the thoughtful touches—like wood beams and a spacious primary suite—bring that perfect mix of warmth and sophistication.It’s no surprise that the Tacoma has earned Parade of Homes awards for two years in a row. Year after year, it captures attention not just for its beautiful design, but for how livable and timeless it is. Homeowners love that it offers room to grow, space to gather, and little details that make daily life easier.You can find the Tacoma in several of our communities—The Estates at Ridgewood in Broken Arrow, Bixby Village and Elysian Fields in Bixby, and The Reserve at Parker Village in Owasso, just to name a few. Each location offers something special, from scenic walking trails to family-friendly parks and great schools nearby.If you’re looking for a home that’s both stylish and practical—one that’s been tested, loved, and celebrated—the Tacoma might just be the perfect fit. It’s more than a floor plan; it’s a place where life unfolds beautifully.
