Downsizing in Collinsville
The whole move mapped out first: the sale, the next home, and the timing, at a pace you choose.
Downsizing in Collinsville: What You Get
Downsizing in Collinsville might mean leaving a property with more land for a smaller home near downtown and Main Street, or moving closer to Owasso or Tulsa. Either way, it's a big decision after years in one home.
With me, you get a plan for the whole move before anything is listed, and a pace that's yours.

- Why people choose it
- Buyers open to living farther north who want to compare different kinds of homes.
- Getting around
- Highway 20 runs through town and connects to Highway 169 on the east and Highway 75 on the west, the routes for trips toward Owasso or Tulsa.
- Nearby
- Main Street downtown, Collinsville City Park, and the city lake with hiking and mountain biking trails. Downtown hosts Hogs 'N' Hot Rods each year, and the city holds an Independence Day celebration and a Christmas parade.
- The trade-off
- Compared with Owasso: look closely at the home and lot you can get in each place, and how often you would make the drive for shopping, work or other plans. Collinsville may have the property you want; be comfortable with the everyday drive first.
