The Village is one of Oklahoma's most unique communities — an enclave city almost entirely surrounded by Oklahoma City. Founded in 1949 by developer Clarence E. Duffner, Sr. specifically to prevent OKC annexation, The Village became a city in 1959 and maintains its own police, fire, and city services to this day.
With approximately 4,500 homes and an average construction year of 1962, The Village represents classic mid-century suburban development. These homes — built when families fled downtown for suburban living — have now weathered 60+ years of Oklahoma climate.
Bordering only Nichols Hills among other municipalities, The Village offers a self-contained community experience with median household income around $71,000. For homeowners in this distinctive enclave, understanding what's in your walls matters for protecting your investment in this one-of-a-kind community.
Common Mold Sources in The Village Homes
The Village's distinctive housing stock — predominantly mid-century construction — creates specific mold challenges. Here's what I commonly find:

Why I Do Things Differently
I spent over a decade as an ER nurse. I learned that the best outcomes come from honest assessments, not hopeful guesses. "Your leg is broken." "That's going to need stitches." "You probably shouldn't have skipped that last step on the ladder."
Now I apply that same approach to homes. When I inspect your Village property, you get the truth — not a sales pitch for remediation I'm hoping to sell you.
I don't do remediation. I can't. My only job is to find what's there and explain what it means. If you need work done, I'll give you a list of contractors I don't work for and don't get paid by. Then I leave.
In a community that fought to remain independent for 75 years, honest answers about what's in your walls respect that tradition of self-determination.
The Village Mold Questions
Mid-century homes have had 60+ years to accumulate moisture issues. Original systems reaching end-of-life, multiple renovation layers, and construction techniques from a different era all create opportunities. But well-maintained mid-century homes can be excellent — condition matters more than age.
Mid-century considerations →Slab foundations can wick moisture from the ground. If vapor barriers weren't installed (common in 1950s-60s construction) or have degraded, moisture can affect flooring and create conditions for mold at floor level. Slabs aren't inherently problematic — but they require attention.
Slab foundation considerations →Multiple renovation layers add complexity. Each era's updates may have addressed visible issues while creating or covering others. Homes with 1970s, 1980s, and 2000s updates have four generations of construction interacting — inspection should understand all of them.
Multi-era considerations →Absolutely. The Village's consistent mid-century housing stock means most homes have similar age-related considerations. Understanding your specific property's condition — what's been updated, what's original, what's accumulated — protects your investment in this unique community.
