Some neighborhoods immediately feel special the moment you drive in—and Broken Oak in Georgetown is one of those places. Nestled among mature oak trees just north of Lake Georgetown, this newer community brings together top builders, nature-inspired design, and a quiet, boutique atmosphere that still keeps you close to everything. If you’re searching for a community with character, quality, and that authentic Hill Country feel, Broken Oak deserves a spot at the top of your list.
When Was Broken Oak Built?
Broken Oak is a newer residential community, with development beginning in the early 2020s. Because it’s still relatively new, the homes feel fresh and modern, and many buyers love the opportunity to purchase homes with the latest floor plans, energy efficiencies, smart-home features, and on-trend finishes.
This is not a sprawling mega-development. With roughly 100 homes total, Broken Oak was designed to feel intimate rather than overwhelming. Instead of tightly packed streets, you’ll find leafy green spaces, preserved mature oaks, and beautifully landscaped frontage that creates a peaceful, naturally integrated layout.
Who Built the Homes in Broken Oak?
Two highly respected Central Texas builders contributed to the character of Broken Oak:
Highland Homes
Highland is known for quality craftsmanship, livable floorplans, and upscale architectural touches—from vaulted ceilings and large windows to thoughtful structural options like extended patios, expanded primary suites, and built-in storage solutions. Highland Homes in Broken Oak tend to feel luxurious without being flashy.
Chesmar Homes
Chesmar brings a modern, functional approach to layout design. Many homes include 3–5 bedrooms, 3–6 bathrooms, open kitchens with oversized islands, dedicated office spaces, game rooms, and options for multi-generational living. Chesmar prioritizes energy efficiency and smart-home integration, perfect for buyers who love convenience with style.
Both builders offer a Hill Country aesthetic, blending brick, stone, and board-and-batten elements, creating curb appeal that feels cohesive yet unique from house to house.

Does Broken Oak Have an HOA? What Are the Amenities?
Yes. Broken Oak has a homeowner association (HOA) responsible for maintaining the community’s entrance landscaping, common areas, green spaces, and planned walking connections. What makes Broken Oak unique is its emphasis on preserving the natural landscape, particularly its namesake oak trees. Instead of clearing everything for construction, developers intentionally worked around clusters of mature trees to create a quiet, nature-forward atmosphere.
Within the neighborhood, you’ll find:
- Sidewalks and greenbelts perfect for morning or evening walks
- Planned trail connectivity
- A tucked-away layout designed to reduce through-traffic and noise
And just outside the community, Broken Oak residents have unrivaled access to one of Georgetown’s greatest treasures: Lake Georgetown.
