Secluded Oak Villas
If your buyers are looking for a bit
of serenity in the hustle and hectic pace of
the Medical Center area, Secluded Oak
Villas is the “location, location, location”
for condominium living. “This is an
incredible development in the condo market
in the Medical Center location,”
shares Diana Weems, Broker of Encino
Real Estate and marketing representative
for the property. “Secluded Oak Villas
was originally built as a condominium
community in the late 1980’s. The entire
property has undergone extensive remodeling
by its new owners to offer “likenew”
condos at an exceptional value.”
As Weems points out, new construction
in the Medical Center area is
extremely expensive due to the cost of
limited, available land and general construction.
The high demand for condominiums
in the area tends to drive the
price up. Affordable housing (anything
under $150,000) is very difficult to find
with security and exceptional finish out.
“Because we are not ‘brand new,”
our pricing is much more reasonable for
the average buyer. Our price points bene-
fit from being an existing property, but
our quality is like getting a brand new
unit,” continues Weems.
Secluded Oak Villas is a total of
52 units with a combination of singlestory
units and townhomes. Square
footage ranges from approximately 983 to
1370. All units are two bedrooms/two
baths or two bedrooms/two and one half
bath. Each unit has its own one-car
garage. Units start at just over $114,000
and range up to the high $150’s. “We
have a very active condo association.
The monthly condominium association
fee of $170 is applied to security gate,
landscaping and swimming pool maintenance,
a general liability insurance policy,
and a reserve fund for future needs of the
association” notes Weems.
The model is open Thursday
through Sunday from 1—5 PM each
week, and the properties are listed
through the MLS, so Realtors can show
them anytime. “We still have units available
for a ‘custom’ finish out. Buyers can
select colors, flooring and more depending
on what they want to invest in their

unit. We are offering most features as
standard and that includes granite in the
kitchen, tile floors, fireplaces and a washer/dryer
hook-up. All single story units
have 300 square foot decks which offer
additional “enjoyable” space. Upgrades
include wood flooring, paint choices and
appliance choices,” said Weems.
Secluded Oak Villas is located at
8642 Fredericksburg Road, near
Wurzbach. The entrance drive into the
condominiums is shaded by large trees
and residents travel down a private drive
into the community. The entry is gated to
offer privacy to residents, without compromising
the immediate access to the
property’s prime Fredericksburg Road
location. The complex is just two minutes
from the Medical Center. “Current owners
include a diversity of professionals,
families, students and people looking to
scale down to a simpler lifestyle. Less is
more here. Condos are becoming more
and more popular because of the carefree
lifestyle people are choosing. Sitting out
by the beautiful pool is very relaxing
when you do not have to worry about getting
the yard done or maintenance of the
pool!” shares Weems.
Many Realtors have been guests
at the frequent open houses and Realtor
events at Secluded Oak Villas. Realtors
and their buyers are welcomed and
encouraged to come out to see for themselves
what makes this a unique gem in
the heart of the Medical Center.
