Texas Oaks Austin Attractions
One of the best things about Texas Oaks has a lot to do with recent developments in the area. Once on the southern edge of Austin, the area has seen much growth since the development of Southpark Meadows. Acres and acres of rolling hill country ranch land that once housed an outdoor music venue has been sold and changed to acres and acres of shops, restaurants and even some big box retailers. This huge shopping destination is just south of Slaughter Lane and is literally minutes from your home in Texas Oaks. The spacious neighborhood park of Mary Moore Searight Metropolitan Park compliments the area with its various facilities. You can play disc golf, enjoy the two basketball or tennis courts, picnic with the family or walk any of the 6 miles of trails. Also, Friends of MMSMP are building an off-lease dog trail at the north end of the park. So what do you get when you mix parks, shopping, dining, and homes? You get a great neighborhood to call home!
