Spring is in the air... and is always one of my favorite times of year! Just about the time I forget about the bulbs panted in the Fall the first signs of life begin to emerge from the soil! A lot of exciting things are happening in The Oaks right now. Our crown jewel, Oak Ridge Lake, is continuing to take shape. The magnitude of the size of this lake is becoming evident. Oak Ridge Lake will be the largest lake inside the city limits of Lawton at 3/4 mile long and over twice the size of Lake Helen at Elmer Thomas park. Our crew has been working sunrise to sunset to bring this beauty to life!
Just this week, the outline of one of 3 islands that will grace the water began to take shape. I can already envision the canopy of Oak trees overhanging the islands. Million dollar and up residential estates will sit on a bluff on the south side of the lake overlooking the water. Our beautiful bison will continue to inhabit the land on the north side of the lake. Spanning all the way to 67th street this lake will be something all residents of Th
e Oaks get to enjoy. From the gazebo at Oak Pointe Lake neighbors will be able to enjoy the splendor of Oak Ridge Lake as well!
With the weather warming up many Oaks neighbors are getting out and enjoying the fresh air in our peaceful neighborhood. My husband Adam and I love to take our dogs for walks, especially on a nice day. Bailey, our oldest is a 5 year old Havenese and Franklin, our baby, is a two year old Havanese / Maltese mix. The middle child (our cat Edward) stays home during our walks. We took him for a walk on a leash once but that didn't go over so well! I guess there's a reason you don't see people walking their cats very often.
This week one of our prized Oak Pointe beauties went under contract, The Grand Lexington Escape. This was our last available home in Oak Pointe with a home theater. This magnificent home is a one of a kind and will make a great retreat for our soon to be new neighbors. We only have 8 homes remaining in Oak Pointe and 2 in Oak Ridge. Right now is a great time to pick something out. Interest rates are at historic lows. Twenty five years ago when rates went up to 21% I be no one would believe they'd be below 4 % today!
When you have some time stop by and tour our Open Houses. We have homes open in Oak Pointe every day until 6:00! Hope to see you soon!

This week was an exciting week for Eisenhower High School! On Wednesday Eienhower was recognized at the Oklahoma state capitol as the National Math and Science Initiative school of the year. Eisenhower was recognized because of its success in its first year of the Advanced Placement program. As a 2004 graduate of Eisenhower this news makes me very proud of my alma mater! I am also thankful that our neighborhood is located in the Eisenhower School district so all kids living in our school district can have the opportunity to attend Eisenhower. I am a strong believer that Eisenhower provides one of the best educations in the region for the student willing to work hard and excel academically.
