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.

By popular demand, here's how to request daily digests:
1. Go to groups.google.com
2. Click on 'My Groups'. You'll see 'laurel_oaks_na' displayed.
