Oak Park Trails is an interesting option for buyers moving to the Katy area south of I-10. It has a great location (on the corner of Mason Rd and Highland Knolls), is halfway between I-10 and the Westpark Tollway for easy commutes, feeds award winning schools in the KatyISD, is close to shopping, malls like the LaCenterra Mall and Villagio Retail Center, and home values that will not bust the bank!!

Homes in Oak Park Trails run from around $140,000 to about $250,000 and range from about 1500sqft up to over 3000sqft. This family oriented community includes a great central park and pool that gives the kids plenty to do all summer long!

Now the issue: some of the top builders in the area built and sold homes in Oak Park Trails, but about halfway through build out KB Homes (not my favorite builder by a long shot) got involved and finished out the development....and about mid decade the foreclosure rate in Oak Park Trails went through the roof. This situation corrected itself after the final homes were completed and now Oak Park Trails is a very good alternative for those wanting to be close to Cinco Ranch....but not pay Cinco Ranch Prices.

Bottom Line: if you are looking for a family home in the mid 100's to low 200's and need larger square footage Oak Park Trails is a good alternative with stable values and nice amenities.
