Big Oaks Homes for Sale

Community Highlights

Big Oaks is a small, established neighborhood tucked along Oakmont Court — a single cul-de-sac street in the heart of Simpsonville's Five Forks corridor. With homes built between 1997 and 2005 on generous lots averaging around a third of an acre, the neighborhood offers a sense of permanence and privacy that larger subdivisions rarely achieve. Mature trees frame private, fenced backyards, and at least one property borders a designated bird sanctuary — protected land that will never be developed — giving those homeowners a rare buffer of natural space.

Homes here were built with a consistent vision: generous square footage, quality interior finishes, and layouts designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Master suites on the main level are a hallmark of the neighborhood, featured across a strong majority of properties. Vaulted and trey ceilings appear throughout — often 9 to 16 feet — alongside site-finished hardwood floors on the main level, open floor plans that connect kitchens to great rooms, and formal dining rooms. Bonus rooms, office or study spaces with French doors, screened porches, and decks extend the livable footprint of nearly every home. Two-car garages are standard across all properties. A handful of homes feature custom millwork, built-in cabinetry, and stone or architectural exterior details that reflect the craftsmanship of Five Star and other custom builders active in the area during this build period.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Big Oaks is a no-HOA neighborhood, which means residents enjoy the independence of private ownership without mandatory fee obligations. The trade-off is a quiet, low-key environment without shared amenity infrastructure — no community pool, no clubhouse — but the Five Forks area more than compensates with an abundance of retail, dining, and recreation options within a short drive. Lots range from approximately 11,700 to nearly 30,000 square feet, with most homes sitting on comfortable quarter- to half-acre parcels. Treed, private backyards with decks and screened porches are a consistent feature, making outdoor living a natural extension of daily life.
