Oak Forest Subdivision – A Northwest Austin Neighborhood

Located in Northwest Austin with easy access to Highway 183, Oak Forest has been one of the more popular subdivisions for many years. Residents appreciate that first class shopping, major employers, medical facilities and recreational areas are convenient. Oak Forest is a family neighborhood of custom-quality homes priced from the 180’s to the 300’s.

The Oak Forest subdivision is in Travis County and within the City of Austin. The area is also served by the highly acclaimed Round Rock independent School District. Located conveniently within the neighborhood, Kathy Caraway Elementary School has received the presidential Blue Ribbon Award for excellence. There are currently 565 students and 34 teachers, yielding a student-to-teacher ratio of 15.6. Recently, nearby Canyon Vista Middle School was named a Blue Ribbon School for the second time, a first for a Texas school. Having these fine schools serve the neighborhood is an added bonus for everyone living here, especially those families with school-age children.

The subdivision has been fortunate to have over 15 custom builders within its five sections. As a result, there is a refreshing variety of home styles from traditional to contemporary. Tree lined streets and large lots, a community pool and active neighborhood association all combine to create a most desirable place to live. You also have a neighborhood park adjacent to Caraway Elementary School with play areas, two tennis courts and hike and bike trails.

Oak Forest’s cable and electrical lines are underground, creating a clean look. Its streets are comfortably wide, with curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. Of the 28 streets and cul-de-sacs in the subdivision, only four carry significant traffic. This adds significantly to the safety in the area. Being on the edge of the Texas Hill Country in Northwest Austin, Oak Forest has a rolling terrain which beckons to those who enjoy running, cycling, or a quiet after-dinner stroll at sunset.

Real Estate Statistics:

For your convenience I have also included some market reports on the Oak Forest neighborhood as well as an overview of the Austin real estate market. These reports are all Adobe PDF documents, so just click the link to view them.

Note: the Austin Board of Realtors passed a rule that restricts the publishing of sold information. For this reason I am no longer able to publish specific addresses and sold prices. The price shown for sold properties is the last listed price. As always, upon individual request I will be more than happy to furnish a detailed report on each property!
