Oak Ridge Leander, TX.
Oak Ridge is a neighborhood in Leander, Texas (Williamson County). Several builders have built homes in this established neighborhood including Buffington and Scott Felder. There are only about 1 or 2 lots that have not yet been built on. I live in Oak Ridge and enjoy it because of the “middle of the road” homeowner’s association, low home prices, amenities and laid back atmosphere. The Oak Ridge HOA is not too fussy, nor too lax. In my opinion they are “just right”. I also love the amount of mature trees in our subdivision, especially large old live oak trees. I have 2 in my back yard, one huge old wonderful tree that almost shades my entire back yard and a smaller, younger tree that is fast growing and shading more every year. The Oak Ridge park is a great area to recreate with tennis courts, basketball courts, sports court; swimming pool with lounging deck, picnic tables and bar-b-q grills in a shady treed area. My granddaughters enjoyed the Easter Egg Hunt the HOA put on this spring. There are neighborhood Garage Sales as well. I like the sense of community that neighborhood functions afford.
Homes generally range in price from about $120,000. to $200,000. Oak Ridge is located in Leander ISD. Nearby schools are the new Goddard private school, Pleasant Hill Elementary, Wiley Middle School and the brand new High School by Wiley coming online in the 2008-2009 school year. Among nearby attractions, services and shopping are the new Lowe’s, Taco Bell, the forthcoming Kohl’s, Starbuck’s and Dunkin’ Donuts, the new HEB Plus (second largest HEB), Austin TELCO Credit Union. The Way Off Broadway Theatre on Crystal Falls Parkway is a fun place with great entertainment. The Humane Society of Williamson County is also on East Crystal Falls- a great place to volunteer and/or get a great addition to the family. Golf is available just down the road at Crystal Falls Golf Club, 3400 Crystal Falls; horseback riding, kayak, canoe or RV rentals are all nearby. Crystal Falls Parkway is being expanded in most of the road between old 183 and Ronald Reagan (Parmer Lane). The new 183A Toll Road is very convenient and makes getting into Austin very easy and amazingly quick. Ronald Reagan (or Parmer) goes all the way to Georgetown at one end and Manor at the other. In the fall the new Capital Metro Redline commuter rail will be running only 5 minutes away taking you into downtown Austin in only 50 minutes while you use your laptop. The Capital Metro Park & Ride bus service is by the rail as well.
