Oakhurst puts you at the gateway to tall pines, wide-open water, and quiet, country living. Just off US-190 in San Jacinto County, the community sits a short hop from the trails and hunting lands of the Sam Houston National Forest and the boating, paddling, and serious fishing at Lake Livingston State Park. Weekend plans practically write themselves: launch a boat at first light, hike shaded forest loops by afternoon, then unwind under big, starry skies.
Commuters and day-trippers appreciate how easy it is to reach the university energy and services of Huntsville to the west and the shopping and marinas of Livingston to the east. Nearby Coldspring anchors the county with a historic courthouse square, while the Trinity River corridor around Trinity offers additional boat ramps and quiet backroads.
Families find strong roots here, with neighborhood schools in the Coldspring-Oakhurst CISD supporting career and technical programs, athletics, and fine arts. Housing ranges from wooded acreage tracts to lake-adjacent retreats, and the lifestyle rewards those who value elbow room, friendly neighbors, and weekends spent outdoors.
Whether you’re weighing a move for schools, space, or the call of the lake, Oakhurst delivers an easygoing pace with quick access to everyday essentials and natural escapes. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate expert who knows the area and the market.
