Unlike today's subdivisions that have small, perfectly level lots crowded with homes that all look alike, Oak Crest offers a unique mix of old and new. Oak Crest is a neighborhood with the charm and character of days gone by. Large wooded lots with craftsman, bungalow, and cottage style houses adorn the tree lined streets. Beautiful meadows, streams and ponds can also be found in Oak Crest. Logs, rocks, bricks, shingles, and stucco are some of the building materials used on the facades of the homes.

Historic Oak Crest has been, and continues to be for many, home to second, third, and even fourth generations of families. It is a neighborhood that has stood the test of time. It still retains much of its original charm that attracted the original families who resided here so long ago.
