A close-knit community where neighbors are more like friends
Oakwood was voted the best neighborhood in Coral Springs in a 2015 survey by the website Coral Springs Talk for one main reason: its exceptionally close-knit environment. It’s a community where residents call each other “best friend neighbors” and come together for flash mob proposals and Christmas Eve P.J. parties. So, when Realtor Debi Benson with RE/MAX 1st Choice called it “a great family community,” she meant it. With parks tucked in the neighborhood’s cozy subdivisions, neighbors also have built-in hangouts that are particularly popular among kids and pet owners.

Parks are within walking distance for most
There are two popular parks in Oakwood: Whispering Oaks Park and Oakwood Park. Both are nestled in the back of subdivisions, putting them within walking distance of many residents. “It’s not that they’re private, but because they are tucked into the communities, they feel like it,” says Benson, who has lived in and sold houses throughout Coral Springs for more than 20 years. Whispering Oaks spans 6 acres in the middle of the Oakwood subdivision and is popular for its large lawn, playgrounds and access to Stranahan River. Oakwood Park is across town in The Oaks subdivision and offers similar amenities, ranging from paved walking paths along the river to a playground. The neighborhood is also only about 15 miles from major beaches like Lauderdale Beach.

A mix of HOA and non-HOA subdivisions
Most homes here are contemporary- and Spanish Mission-inspired ranches built between 1979 and 1990, though there are a few multi-story Spanish Mission dwellings. Houses sit on manicured lots of up to half an acre. And while most aren’t waterfront, there are plenty with backyards that butt up to the river or its inlets. According to Benson, the river tends to serve more of an aesthetic purpose than a practical one, though residents use it for kayaking, canoeing and fishing from time to time. The neighborhood consist of three main subdivisions: Oakwood, The Oaks, and Glenoaks. All three are commonly described as having a private neighborhood feel without the gates. Oakwood is particularly sought after because it lacks HOA requirements. Homes range from $550,000 to $1 million. Condos and townhouses are less common, with two to three-bedroom units ranging from $225,000 to $336,000.
Modern and updated homes are found throughout the Oakwood Coral Springs neighborhood.
