Nestled between the vibrant communities of Leander and Liberty Hill, the Highland Oaks neighborhood offers a serene and luxurious living experience in Central Texas. As a real estate professional specializing in this region, I’m excited to share insights into what makes Highland Oaks a standout choice for discerning homeowners.
Development and Builders
Highland Oaks was developed exclusively by Grand Endeavor Homes between 2017 and 2020, reflecting a commitment to quality and attention to detail. This relatively swift build-out period is impressive, considering the neighborhood’s size and the upscale nature of the homes.
Home Styles and Features
The neighborhood showcases a variety of home designs, ranging from 2,438 to 3,909 square feet, with a median size of approximately 3,131 square feet. Each residence is situated on expansive lots ranging from 1 to 1.45 acres, averaging about 1.076 acres per property. This generous spacing provides residents with privacy and a sense of openness. Architectural styles vary, but all homes feature high-end finishes, gourmet kitchens, open floor plans, and design touches like molding and tray ceilings. Many properties also include 3- to 4-car garages, with some offering up to 5-car garages for additional space.
Community Amenities
While Highland Oaks does not have sidewalks, the neighborhood’s design includes drainage ditches on either side of the street to manage water flow effectively. The acre-sized lots are well-landscaped, often retaining mature trees and featuring planters that enhance the natural beauty of the area. The thoughtful layout includes multiple cul-de-sacs and corner lots, reducing through traffic and enhancing the community’s tranquility.
Local Amenities
Residents of Highland Oaks enjoy proximity to a wealth of local amenities. The neighborhood is conveniently located near retail centers such as 1890 Ranch, which features major retailers like Target, Costco, and HEB Plus!, along with a variety of dining options. For outdoor enthusiasts, the nearby Brushy Creek Regional Trail offers excellent opportunities for walking, running, and biking. Additionally, the community is just a short drive from Lake Travis and the Texas Hill Country, providing ample opportunities for boating, hiking, and fishing.
Educational Opportunities
Highland Oaks is served by the Liberty Hill Independent School District, with students typically attending Liberty Hill Elementary School, Liberty Hill Middle School, and Liberty Hill High School. As of June 2024, each of these schools received a rating of 5 out of 10 from GreatSchools. It’s important to note that school ratings are subject to change, so prospective residents should verify the most current ratings and school boundaries with the district.
Final Thoughts
Life in Highland Oaks offers a blend of luxury, space, and convenience, making it an attractive option for those seeking a high-quality lifestyle in Central Texas. Its well-designed homes, expansive lots, and proximity to amenities and schools make it a community worth considering for your next home.
