Why people move here

The largest estates in Golden Oak, at the quiet north end.

Carolwood holds the biggest homes in the community. Lots run up to about three-quarters of an acre, and most homes sit between roughly 6,500 and 12,000 square feet, many backing to preserve, golf or water.
It is the northernmost part of Golden Oak, which keeps traffic light and privacy high. Summerhouse and the Four Seasons resort are a short drive inside the gates.
