Area Guide

Share Guide

Southern Oaks carries the name of the grove of oaks that used to occupy the space. Although fewer oaks grace the area, the neighborhood still cherishes close ties to nature with access to a number of lakes and parks such as Lake Gatlin and Lake Pineloch.

For a relaxing weekend, residents head down to Little Lake Conway on the south of the neighborhood for some fishing or boating. Families enjoy spending time at the Fort Gatlin Recreation Complex where kids can splash around in the swimming pool, learn to play tennis, or participate in youth programs.

Locals not only spend time on the water but at Vanbarry's Public House and Julie's Waterfront. At Vanbarry's, patrons get both dinner and a show with the daily live music. Julie's Waterfront gifts patrons with front row seats of Lake Jennie Jewel and succulent fried fish. Easily find a rental home in this area and stay close to the amenities locals cherish.
