The Oaklands is one of the neighborhoods I point Round Rock buyers to when they want mature trees, a real clubhouse-and-pool setup, and a location that’s genuinely convenient rather than just marketed that way. It’s an established community west of I-35 off FM 620, built mostly through the late 1980s and into the 1990s, so the trees have had decades to fill in and the streets have that settled feel a brand-new subdivision doesn’t have yet.
I’m Robbie English, REALTOR/Broker at Uncommon Realty, and I help buyers and sellers work through neighborhoods exactly like this one.
Living in The Oaklands
The Oaklands falls inside Round Rock ISD, zoned to Herrington Elementary, Hopewell Middle, and Stony Point High School. Residents have a clubhouse, two community pools, tennis courts, a playground, and hike-and-bike trails that tie into the neighborhood’s green space near Brushy Creek. Round Rock Premium Outlets and the Brushy Creek Regional Trail are both a short drive away, so errands and weekend recreation don’t turn into a trip across town.
If you’re comparing The Oaklands to other established Round Rock communities, I’d also point you toward Teravista and Forest Creek — both feed into strong Round Rock ISD schools and give you a sense of how pricing and lot sizes vary between the newer master-planned communities and an established neighborhood like this one.
Housing options in The Oaklands
Homes here range from roughly 1,600 to over 6,000 square feet, on lots between about a fifth of an acre and just under an acre — noticeably larger than what you’ll find in most newer Round Rock subdivisions. Architectural styles mix ranch and two-story floor plans from the original build-out, and a good number have been updated with newer kitchens and primary suites since. If you want specifics on what’s currently listed and how a particular lot compares to nearby options, that’s exactly the kind of question I can walk you through.
If you’re weighing whether to hold a property here as a rental down the road, Uncommon Rentals by Uncommon Realty handles property management for clients who want that option without doing it themselves.
