Oakwood Knolls, west of Nelson Road and north of North Avenue, has been built out gradually from 1955 through the 2000s — so you'll find everything from 711-square-foot cottages to homes near 4,900 square feet on the same loops. What unites them: community lake access with boat dock and mooring options, parks, and some of the gentlest carrying costs in our whole coverage area (average taxes around $6,500).
This is where we send first-time buyers and downsizers who want the lake life without lake-life money. Four homes were listed at last check from $198,888 — in 2026, that price with water access nearby is nearly extinct.

Our MLS runs a Private Listing Network — real listings agents can see that never appear on Zillow or any public site, because the sellers want privacy. We can't advertise them. What we can do is share matches directly with our own buyers. If Oakwood Knolls is where you want to be, tell us exactly what you're looking for — we'll watch the private side for you, and we'll only contact you about that.
