H-E-B Closing - What Is Coming Next?
The LONA Board members have been communicating with the city to learn what's in the works and how our community can impact the development of the retail space and the empty lot next to the shopping center. Get the details here.
2026 Beautification Update: We’re gathering community input about possible improvements to a newly re-zoned park space, and we’d truly value your perspective.
The space has been named Charing Cross Pocket Park by the City. It is located on Danwood Dr., between Charing Cross Rd. and DK Ranch Rd. Whether you use the park daily or simply care about our shared spaces, your voice matters. This short survey takes just a few minutes and will help us prioritize upgrades that reflect what residents want most.
Thank you for helping make our neighborhood even better!
The name "Laurel Oaks" was derived by combining portions of the names of the 2 elementary schools serving our neighborhood, namely Laurel Mountain and North Oaks (as Caraway Elementary was named at the time of LONA's founding). View LONA's listing in the City of Austin's directory of neighborhood associations.
The Laurel Oaks Neighborhood Association is one of a number of smaller neighborhood associations that grew out of the predecessor North Oaks Neighborhood Association (NONA). We are a 100% volunteer organization. As an informal association, we have no regulatory authority and collect no dues.
The LONA area is bounded by Jollyville Road, Oak Knoll Drive, Lost Horizon Drive, Rain Creek Parkway, Fireoak Drive, Texas Plume Road, and Spicewood Springs Road.
LONA encompasses all or part of the following subdivisions: Balcones Oaks, Barrington Oaks, High Sierra Oaks, Oak Forest, Oak Knoll Estates, Shadow Oaks, Westhill Estates, Windridge
If you live within (or near) the shaded map, we are happy to consider you to be a member of the Laurel Oaks Neighborhood Association.
