Oak Heights places you within minutes of the river, the university, and downtown San Marcos. Set along the I‑35 corridor, it’s an easy hop to Austin, Kyle, and New Braunfels. Mature trees, sidewalks, and well‑kept homes give the area a relaxed, neighborly rhythm. Weekend plans come easy: wander the trails at Purgatory Creek Natural Area via the city’s Parks & Recreation system, launch a tube at Rio Vista, or explore Spring Lake at the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment. When game day arrives, Texas State University energizes the town, while The Square’s eateries and music venues keep evenings lively.
Families value public schools served by San Marcos Consolidated ISD, and everyday errands are simple with grocery options, medical clinics, and big retail close by. Bargain hunters appreciate the region’s destination shopping at San Marcos Premium Outlets. Commuters have options, too: local routes on The Bus operated by CARTS make cross‑town travel straightforward; find schedules through San Marcos Transit. County resources, from parks to records, are easily accessed via the county government, and living in Hays County means Hill Country day trips are always in reach.
