about us
Scenic Oaks is a gated community in far northwest Bexar County. Our only entrance is a 24/7 manned entry station. Scenic Oaks has a quiet, country feel without being too far away from the city. Our residents include singles, couples, young families, empty nesters, to retirees from all walks of life. Some of us have lived in the San Antonio area our entire lives and others are new transplants to San Antonio and Texas. Our backgrounds include government jobs, private business, education, and the military.
Our story
The Scenic Oaks Subdivision is located west of Interstate 10 between San Antonio and Boerne, Texas. Larry Wayne (deceased) and Estella Haese launched the subdivision in 1978. Roads and utilities were developed in the first two of six units and the first home built was their own residence, completed in 1979. Within the first three years more than 10 homes were built. Today, all six units have been developed and there are 320 homes and 25 lots on 441 acres. Residential lots run from .6 acres to 3.8 acres with the average lot measuring about one acre in size.
How We're Governed
Scenic Oaks is self-managed through the Scenic Oaks Property Owners Association (SOPOA). This non-profit is led entirely by resident volunteers who serve on a 9-member Board of Directors. The Board meets monthly to address everything from budgeting and infrastructure to neighborhood policies. All residents are invited to attend and participate in board meetings.
