Location
South Tyler's Most Amenity-Connected Corridor
Oak Creek sits on Old Jacksonville Highway in South Tyler, just north of Loop 49, in the most amenity-dense residential corridor Tyler has built in recent years. The Village at Cumberland Park, Tyler's largest outdoor shopping center with over 700,000 square feet across 78 acres, is at the neighborhood's front door on South Broadway at Loop 49. Faulkner Park's 183-acre city park is minutes to the south. Tyler Athletic and Swim Club sits directly on Oak Creek Boulevard inside the subdivision. The Legacy Trail, connecting from Three Lakes Parkway to Gresham, begins at the neighborhood entrance.
This is South Tyler 75703, a zip code that represents the city's most active residential growth corridor and the destination for buyers who want Tyler proper, Tyler ISD schools, city utilities, and immediate access to the restaurant, retail, and fitness infrastructure that Loop 49 has attracted over the past decade. Fresh by Brookshire's, the specialty grocery option for the area, is nearby alongside the full national and regional dining lineup at Cumberland Park.
Oak Creek is in the city, served by the city, taxed by the city, and connected to the city's infrastructure in ways that suburban communities to the south cannot match. For buyers who specifically want the Tyler city environment rather than a suburb, Oak Creek is the answer in South Tyler's newer custom home market, and the athletic and outdoor amenity density within walking and biking distance of the subdivision is the kind of daily-life quality that buyers only fully appreciate after they are living there.
Community
Homes, Builder, and HOA in Oak Creek
Oak Creek is an active Hunt Custom Homes development that began construction in 2017 and continues building today, with both new construction opportunities and a growing resale market as the earliest homes in the community reach their first re-listing cycle. The Crutcher and Hartley Team works with buyers across both paths in Oak Creek and brings the builder-specific knowledge and comparable sales data that makes the purchase decision — new or resale — more informed and better negotiated.
New Construction by Hunt Custom Homes
Hunt Custom Homes builds 3 to 5 bedroom homes in Oak Creek ranging from 2,025 to 2,903 square feet, with both single-story and two-story floor plans and 2-car garages standard. New construction pricing runs from approximately $389,900 to $524,900, with the variation reflecting floor plan size, lot position, and upgrade selections. Hunt is one of Tyler's established residential builders and the sole active builder currently developing new lots in Oak Creek.
Buyers working with a knowledgeable agent on a new Hunt Custom Homes purchase gain access to builder incentive timing, lot position analysis, and spec-versus-to-build comparisons that buyers working directly with the builder's sales staff cannot access as independently. The Crutcher and Hartley Team has experience with Hunt's Oak Creek builds and can help buyers navigate the construction process from contract to closing with the protection that builder-side representation consistently fails to provide.
Resale Homes in Established Oak Creek Streets
The earliest Oak Creek homes, built from 2017 through 2020, are now appearing as resale listings with mature landscaping, established lots, and in some cases seller-applied upgrades that represent value beyond the current Hunt new construction baseline. Resale homes in Oak Creek reflect a median around $608,000 based on available listing data, reflecting how the community has appreciated since its earliest phase and the premium that established lots with full landscaping command over new construction starts.
For buyers who want the full Oak Creek lifestyle package — Tyler Athletic and Swim Club membership, Legacy Trail access, Faulkner Park proximity, Village at Cumberland Park shopping — without the construction timeline of a new build, resale homes in the established sections of the community offer move-in-ready options. Browse current Oak Creek listings to see active new construction and resale inventory.
The HOA: $100 Per Month, Club Membership Included
Oak Creek's $100 monthly HOA dues cover common area maintenance and include full membership to Tyler Athletic and Swim Club at 2767 Oak Creek Blvd, directly within the community. The club's facility — 12 LED-lighted tennis courts, resort pool with zipline and rock-climbing wall and private cabanas, indoor and outdoor fitness center, Astro Turf sports field, pickleball courts, soccer programs, and Kids Club childcare — is the kind of amenity that standalone memberships at comparable facilities typically cost $100 to $200 per month or more to access independently.
When buyers compare Oak Creek's HOA cost to comparable subdivisions without club inclusion, the effective value of the membership makes Oak Creek's $100 a month one of the best HOA value propositions in the South Tyler market. Utilities in Oak Creek are provided by the City of Tyler (water, sewer, trash), CenterPoint Energy (gas), and Optimum (internet and cable), giving residents the full city utility infrastructure without supplemental service provider complexity.

Life in Oak Creek, South Tyler
Tyler Athletic and Swim Club
Tyler Athletic and Swim Club opened in 2017 alongside Oak Creek's first homes and sits at 2767 Oak Creek Blvd, positioned inside the community as a direct neighborhood amenity. The club's tennis program operates on 12 LED-lighted courts managed under the Cliff Drysdale Tennis platform and offers programming for adult and junior players of all skill levels, including complimentary one-on-one lessons for beginners and a robust competitive track for experienced players.
The resort pool features a zipline, a rock-climbing wall, multiple lounge and cabana areas, and lap lanes, functioning as a full aquatic facility rather than a basic neighborhood pool. The indoor and outdoor fitness center includes weights, cardio, resistance training, and a private group fitness studio with free classes for members. Pickleball, soccer, Kids Club childcare, and personal training round out a facility that gives Oak Creek residents the equivalent of a full health club membership as a standard feature of HOA dues.
Faulkner Park and Legacy Trail
Faulkner Park at 410 West Cumberland Road encompasses 183 acres and 9 miles of trails built for everything from casual walking to serious mountain biking. The park's six-mile natural surface mountain bike trail includes the Thunderstruck jump line, a builder-crafted series of five progressive downhill jumps designed by the Tyler Bicycle Club, alongside decomposed granite walking and jogging paths that are easier on the joints than concrete surfaces. The park is open from 5am to 10pm daily and is free to the public.
Beyond the trail system, Faulkner Park includes a fishing pond, baseball and softball fields, a sprayground, skate ramps, tennis courts, a playground, and picnic pavilions, making it a multi-use destination for Oak Creek families with children across different ages and activity preferences. The Legacy Trail, connecting from Three Lakes Parkway through to Gresham, links Oak Creek directly into Tyler's 60-plus-mile city trail network and extends the biking and walking range available from the subdivision entrance.
Village at Cumberland Park
The Village at Cumberland Park is Tyler's largest outdoor shopping destination, covering 78 acres and 12 buildings with more than 700,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment completed in 2018. The pedestrian-friendly outdoor format includes a central park with fountain and children's playground, creating an environment that functions as a community gathering space alongside its shopping and dining function. The center is located directly on South Broadway at Loop 49, the intersection Oak Creek residents cross to reach virtually any destination south of the city.
The Village includes national retail alongside Tyler-specific dining and service options, a Studio Movie Grill, and the full range of grocery and specialty shopping that Oak Creek residents access as part of their daily routines. Fresh by Brookshire's, the specialty grocery format serving the immediate neighborhood, is also nearby. For buyers relocating from DFW or Houston, the Village at Cumberland Park's retail caliber and walkable outdoor format is one of the features that regularly surprises and reassures them about what Tyler's South Broadway corridor offers.
All of Tyler, From South Tyler
Oak Creek sits in South Tyler, which means the entire city is accessible without leaving the Tyler city limits or dealing with the kind of suburban commute that communities south of Loop 49 require. CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Health System, UT Health East Texas, Tyler's Brick Streets District, the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden with its 38,000 rose bushes across 14 acres, Caldwell Zoo with 3,000-plus animals, and the University of Texas at Tyler are all within Tyler's city network — a network Oak Creek residents navigate as insiders, not commuters.
Tyler's annual Texas Rose Festival, the Azalea and Spring Flower Trail, and the full calendar of local events that make Tyler the cultural and community hub of East Texas are all local events for Oak Creek residents in the way they simply are not for buyers who have purchased 15 or 20 miles outside the city. For buyers who want Tyler, Oak Creek delivers Tyler, with the bonus of having Faulkner Park, Legacy Trail, Tyler Athletic and Swim Club, and the Village at Cumberland Park all within blocks of the front door.
Market
Oak Creek Tyler TX Real Estate Market: 2026 Data
New construction in Oak Creek Tyler TX is priced from approximately $389,900 to $524,900 from Hunt Custom Homes, which is meaningfully above the broader Tyler metro median of approximately $325,000 as of April 2026 and reflects the premium that buyers pay for South Tyler 75703 positioning, Tyler Athletic and Swim Club inclusion, and custom construction quality in a HOA-managed neighborhood. The broader Tyler market is trading at approximately $181 per square foot with a median of 52 days on market, with appreciation running approximately 4.3% year over year.
Resale inventory in Oak Creek reflects a median around $608,000, based on active listing data for the community, which shows how the earliest homes from 2017 and 2018 have appreciated as South Tyler's amenity infrastructure has continued developing around them. That appreciation trajectory is consistent with what happens in newer subdivisions where the surrounding infrastructure — the trail, the park, the shopping center, the club — matures alongside the neighborhood and validates the original pricing thesis that drew early buyers in.

Tyler YoY Appreciation
For buyers evaluating the value proposition of Oak Creek's price point against the broader Tyler market, the calculation includes the club membership, the trail access, the Faulkner Park proximity, and the Village at Cumberland Park adjacency, all of which carry meaningful economic value that does not show up in the raw home price comparison. Buyers who have priced standalone Tyler Athletic and Swim Club memberships before visiting Oak Creek consistently re-evaluate the community's pricing in light of that data.
The Tyler market's 52-day median days on market in April 2026, down from 62 days the prior year, reflects improving seller conditions in the broader market. Well-positioned Oak Creek homes at accurate price points in this improving environment are finding qualified buyers, and the Crutcher and Hartley Team's experience pricing South Tyler 75703 custom home inventory positions their sellers competitively relative to the subdivision's active listing mix.

Access
Getting Around from Oak Creek
Within Tyler
Oak Creek sits inside Tyler's city limits, which means all of Tyler's destinations are accessible on city streets without leaving the municipal service area. Loop 49 provides direct east-west access across South Tyler and connects to South Broadway for northbound travel toward Tyler's Brick Streets, medical district, University of Texas at Tyler campus, and downtown core. Most Tyler destinations are 10 to 20 minutes from Oak Creek, a commute within the city rather than to it.
CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances, Tyler's largest employer and one of East Texas's premier health systems, is within Tyler's service network. Tyler Pounds Regional Airport, providing commercial air connections, is accessible via South Broadway north through the city. The combination of Loop 49 and South Broadway gives Oak Creek residents efficient access to every corner of Tyler's geography.
To Dallas and Beyond
Dallas is approximately 100 miles west of Tyler via US-69 north from South Tyler to I-20 westbound, a drive of roughly 90 minutes to two hours depending on conditions. For Oak Creek residents whose work or family connections tie them to Dallas or Houston, that highway access is part of the quality-of-life calculus that makes Tyler viable as a permanent relocation destination: far enough that city life is not intruding, close enough that a monthly trip is manageable.
Tyler Pounds Regional Airport provides commercial connections that reduce the Dallas airport drive frequency for frequent travelers. From South Tyler's Loop 49, the airport is accessible via South Broadway north through the city in approximately 20 to 25 minutes, a practical option for business travelers who want the Tyler lifestyle without giving up efficient regional air connectivity.
On Foot and Bike
Legacy Trail at the Oak Creek entrance connects into Tyler's 60-plus-mile city trail network, making the subdivision one of the few newer Tyler developments with direct trail access from within the neighborhood gate rather than requiring a drive to a trailhead. Three Lakes Parkway and the Gresham corridor are accessible by trail from Oak Creek, extending the effective walking and biking range to cover a substantial portion of South Tyler without ever touching a car.
Faulkner Park's 9 miles of trails are minutes away by bike from Oak Creek for serious riders, and the park's range of trail surfaces and difficulty levels accommodates everything from beginner family rides to advanced mountain biking. For Oak Creek families where outdoor activity is central to daily life, the pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure surrounding the subdivision is one of the location attributes that is difficult to replicate in any other South Tyler neighborhood at any price point.
