About Great Oaks
Great Oaks is a residential subdivision in Round Rock, Texas (ZIP 78681), located off Hairy Man Road in the western part of the city near the intersection with RM 620. The neighborhood features homes primarily built in the 1970s and 1980s on large, wooded lots ranging from approximately 1.25 to 4.5 acres — significantly larger than typical Round Rock subdivisions. The semi-rural character is reflected in the absence of sidewalks, elongated driveways, and the mature Live Oak and Cedar tree cover throughout the neighborhood.
Homes in Great Oaks range from approximately 2,500 to 4,300 square feet. The community consists of approximately 150 homes, predominantly single-family detached residences on spacious lots with privacy provided by the mature landscaping. The neighborhood also includes Great Oaks Town Homes, a separate 30-unit gated townhome component developed by Robin Reshetar, an architect and developer with over 30 years of experience in land development.
The Great Oaks Texas Property Owners Association manages the subdivision with annual dues of approximately $25, reflecting the minimal common-area maintenance typical of a large-lot ranchette community. The neighborhood is not gated and does not have a community pool or clubhouse for the single-family portion. The low HOA cost is a distinguishing characteristic compared to typical Round Rock subdivisions.
