Laurel Oaks Neighborhood

The Laurel Oaks neighborhood is located in the northwest quadrant of Austin, Texas, just south of the intersection of U. S. Highway 183 and Spicewood Springs Road.

The neighborhood consists of about 2000 homes, and is bounded by Jollyville Road, Oak Knoll Drive, Lost Horizon Drive, Rain Creek Parkway, Fireoak Drive, Texas Plume Road, and Spicewood Springs Road. (Click on the maps tab above.)

Note that LONA covers portions of both Travis and Williamson Counties. Although part of the City of Austin (Travis County), LONA is served by Williamson County schools, namely the Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD).

The "Laurel Oaks" name was derived by combining portions of the names of the 2 elementary schools serving our neighborhood, namely Laurel Mountain and North Oaks (as Caraway Elementary was named at the time of LONA's founding).
