Legend Oaks
Nestled in the heart of Southwest Austin’s 78749 zip code, Legend Oaks began taking shape in the late 1980s, transforming rolling hills and ancient oak groves into a welcoming suburban enclave. Developed between 1987 and 2001 by builders like Scott Felder and David Weekley, the neighborhood grew thoughtfully, blending spacious homes with green spaces that preserved the area’s natural charm. Originally part of Austin’s expanding frontier, Legend Oaks drew families seeking a quieter life near the city, fostering a tight-knit community through its two homeowners’ associations and shared amenities like pools and trails. For families considering a home here, Legend Oaks offers a rich history of neighbors coming together—whether through backyard barbecues or school carpools—creating a place where kids play freely under shady trees and parents find a genuine sense of belonging, all while staying connected to Austin’s vibrant pulse.
