Location and the MoPac commute
Legend Oaks sits in Southwest Austin just off MoPac. If you commute into Austin regularly, that matters. MoPac gets a lot less truck traffic than I-35 and is generally the easier drive.
Most of what makes Legend Oaks so desirable comes back to location. You won't be planning 20-minute drives for errands like you do in a lot of Texas.
Trails and everything within 7 minutes
This is a very outdoorsy part of Austin. Over 100 miles of paved and dirt trails are within walking distance, between the city's trails, Circle C's and the Legend Oaks HOA-maintained system. Trail connections, like the one from Oasis Drive, let you get around without walking along major roads.
Within about 7 to 10 minutes, max:
- A newer, large H-E-B straight down Escarpment Boulevard
- Torchy's Tacos and Summer Moon Coffee
- Life Time Fitness and several CrossFit gyms
- The Veloway and the LBJ Wildflower Center
Amenity centers and phases
Legend Oaks has two community centers with pools. The largest has a big splash pad, a covered playground, a lap pool and a tennis court.
One thing to know: Phase 1 and Phase 2 each use their own amenity center and pool. The park and trail system is open to everybody.
HOA and tax rate
As of May 2024, the HOA was $55 a month. That's absolutely not crazy, and it's right on par with everything around here.
The tax rate was a nice, low 1.8%. Generally speaking, in the Austin area anything below 2% is a good thing.
Homes: age, sizes and prices
Legend Oaks was built from the '80s through the 2000s. Many of the original homes have been remodeled, and some still need work. These were high-end homes when they were built, with high ceilings, custom woodwork and moldings, and other than style preferences they've held up well.
- Sizes: from around 1,600 to 1,700 square feet to over 3,600 square feet. Some have 3-car garages.
- Prices (as of May 2024): smaller homes that need some work started in the low-mid $500s, and some listings were over $1 million.
- Lots: mature trees and rolling topography give a lot of backyards real privacy.
Legend Oaks vs. Circle C, and touring with me
Buyers looking in Southwest Austin often compare Legend Oaks with Circle C next door. Legend Oaks has a lot of unique aspects of its own, and getting all these amenities for such a small HOA fee is what makes it a gem, especially compared with larger communities like Circle C. The trade-off is age: you're buying a home from the '80s to 2000s, so expect to budget for updates on some of them.
