Why Oak Point

Denton County

Oak Point is a small Denton County city of about 6,900 people (Census estimate, July 2025), up from 4,357 in 2020, on a peninsula of Lewisville Lake just south of US 380. It was incorporated in 1976, became a home rule city in 2022 and covers about 5.4 square miles. The city lists the Dallas North Tollway about 10 miles away, I-35E about 7 miles away and DFW Airport about 25 miles away.

Here is the lesson most buyers miss: Oak Point shares ZIP code 75068 with Little Elm, so the market numbers you see online usually blend both cities. Zillow's typical value for 75068 was about $391K in September 2026, down 5.4% in a year, with a median of 64 days to pending. Price and negotiate off recent sales inside Oak Point and your own neighborhood, not the ZIP average, and confirm the school district by street, because some neighborhoods are split between two districts.

Oak Point is served by two districts. Little Elm ISD generally covers the southern third of the city, including most of Crescent Oaks, Eagles Landing, the southern part of Emerald Sound, Woodridge Estates and Yacht Club Estates, while Denton ISD covers the northern part of Crescent Oaks and most of Emerald Sound. Because the line runs through neighborhoods, check the taxing jurisdiction on the property's tax bill or the Denton County tax search before you rely on a school assignment.

Property taxes

For tax year 2025, an Oak Point home paid about 1.83% combined in Denton ISD (city 0.43546, Denton ISD 1.2069, Denton County 0.185938 per $100) or about 1.85% in Little Elm ISD (1.2252).

Before you buy or sell

Buying here

Get three things in writing before you offer on an Oak Point home: the school district (Crescent Oaks and Emerald Sound are split), whether the lot is in one of the four Oak Point WCIDs, and the deed restrictions, which the city says it does not keep or enforce. The city also suggests checking the zoning map and future land use plan for vacant land near you, which matters on FM 720 where new commercial projects are planned.

Selling here

Your buyer is comparing you to Little Elm, because Oak Point and Little Elm share ZIP 75068 and most home search sites blend them. Build your price from recent Oak Point sales, then market what the ZIP average misses: your school district, the lake and neighborhood amenities, and whether your home is outside a WCID. With homes in 75068 selling at a median 98.8% of list (Aug 2026, Zillow), fix inspection items like roof wear, fence and siding rot and drainage before listing, because from my years in remodeling, those small repairs are what buyers turn into big credit requests.

FAQ

Questions people ask about Oak Point

Is Oak Point, TX a good place to live?
Oak Point fits buyers who want a smaller lake city with established neighborhoods close to US 380, and its median household income was $126,290 (Census ACS 2020-2024). The trade-off is distance, with a mean commute of 33.1 minutes. If you commute toward Frisco or Plano, drive US 380 at rush hour before you decide.
What are property taxes in Oak Point, TX?
For tax year 2025, combined rates were about 1.83% in Denton ISD and about 1.85% in Little Elm ISD, before exemptions. Homes inside an Oak Point WCID paid 0.29 to 0.82 per $100 more, and the FY 2027 budget proposed a 0.039 city rate increase. Ask for the actual tax bill on any home you are considering.
Which school district is Oak Point in?
Both Little Elm ISD and Denton ISD serve Oak Point. Little Elm ISD covers roughly the southern third, and Denton ISD covers areas including northern Crescent Oaks and most of Emerald Sound. Verify the district by address, since the line splits some neighborhoods.
Is Oak Point the same as Little Elm?
No. Oak Point is its own city with its own council, police and tax rate (0.43546 per $100 in 2025, versus 0.549901 for Little Elm), but it shares the 75068 ZIP code with Little Elm. That is why online price data often mixes the two. Ask your agent for comparable sales inside Oak Point city limits.
How long does it take to sell a home in Oak Point?
Zillow does not publish Oak Point-only figures, but in ZIP 75068 homes took a median of 64 days to go pending in September 2026 and sold at about 98.8% of list in August 2026. Plan for roughly two months to an accepted contract when the home is priced right. Overpricing in a small city with few sales tends to stretch that out.
Does Oak Point have lake access?
Yes. The city operates the Oak Point Boat Ramp on Lewisville Lake with daily or annual passes, and the private Dallas Corinthian Yacht Club is in the city. If boating matters to you, ask about HOA lake amenities and dock rules for the specific neighborhood.
