Village at Western Oaks - Neighborhood Spotlight - West Austin Properties

http://www.WestAustin.com Inspired by an abundance of gorgeous native oak trees, the developers of Western Oaks appropriately named this very popular neighborhood in Southwest Austin.

Located just west of Mopac and south of William Cannon, residents can access the neighborhood from William Cannon or the Mopac exit at Davis Lane. For those who live in the neighborhood, it is an easy commute by car to downtown or the Austin Airport.

Western Oaks is one of our favorite neighborhoods for many reasons:

Western Oaks is a very well planned and beautiful community with underground utilities, abundant street lights and sidewalks that facilitate walking and bicycling to the area amenities. A Homeowner's Association in Western Oaks keeps the neighborhood standards high and the dues are mandatory but reasonable at around $150 a year.

Well designed commercial development also supports the neighborhood. You can find grocery shopping, boutiques, pharmacies, coffee shops, banking and restaurants all in the immediate area.
