The Villages at Western Oaks Neighborhood
The Village at Western Oak is a southwest Austin community that is east of Hwy 290 and west of the Legend Oaks subdivision. This community offers community swimming, jogging trails, park and more. This community covers five neighborhoods, and over 600 acres, with 1622 homes in the Villages. Some of the earlier sections built between Beckett Rd. and Escarpment Blvd. along Abilene Trail do not have a mandatory home owner association. Properties in other sections built to the south toward Circle C Ranch have a mandatory membership in the New Villages of Western Oaks HOA (fees currently around $150/year). The development of this area began in the late 1970’s, and the last homes built in the neighborhood were completed in 2005. Lots have a larger feel, and the trees and plant life in this community are mature and large.
