River Oaks — Lexington, South Carolina.

River Oaks is a residential subdivision in unincorporated Lexington County. The mailing city is Lexington and the ZIP is 29072. That mailing address is not the Town of Lexington. Address points tagged River Oaks are all unincorporated, and the parcels whose legal contains “RIVER OAK” sit in tax district 1. On the auditor's TY2025 millage schedule, code 1 is “Outside Springdale, Cayce, Gilbert, & Outside Lexington, Pelion, Summit.”

The county master name is RIVER OAKS, two words. There is no Riveroaks master. A point check at 101 Misty Oaks Court hit the unincorporated polygon. River Club, River Meadows, River Park, River Ridge, River Run, Riverland Park, Rivers Edge, Riverside, Riverview, Indian River, Bush River, and Flow Riverfront Townhomes are other master names. They are not this subdivision.

The Patrick O'Connor Team publishes River Oaks information and updates.

About River Oaks

Do not shop River Oaks from one lot count. The phase NumberLots fields are empty.

RIVER OAKS PH I: NumberLots empty. Restrictions 2228 / 194. Address points: 24, all Misty Oaks Court.
RIVER OAKS PH II: NumberLots empty. Restrictions 5226 / 109. Address points: 8, all Oaks Court.
RIVER OAKS PH III: NumberLots empty. Restrictions 3793 / 331. Address points: 24, all Misty Oaks Place.
Address points together: 56. All unincorporated, Lexington 29072.
Parcels whose legal contains “RIVER OAK”: 57. All neighborhood code 3522 TXMP. Tax district 1 on all 57.

On October 4, 2026, those three street-and-type pairs had no address points in another neighborhood. Property types: 55 residential improved, year built greater than zero 1994 through 2017; 1 residential unimproved, TMS 003500-05-126, owner Corley, Heather Shuping Trustees Etal, legal “RIVER OAKS PH II LOT 5,” situs 116 Oaks Court, year built 0, acres field 0.0; and 1 subdivision common area. Zoning is RD on 47 and blank on 10. The legend was not retrieved.

Legal prefixes are inconsistent (“RIVER OAKS PHS I,” “RIVER OAKS PH I,” “RIVER OAKS PH II,” “RIVER OAKS PH III”). They are one master name. A phase-by-phase lot total cannot be taken from NumberLots because those fields are null.

The Register of Deeds restrictions index, list marked 11/5/2025, uses a closed-up spelling on two lines and a space on the third. The book and page pairs match the GIS layer: Riveroaks Ph I 2228/194, Riveroaks Ph II 5226/109, and River Oaks Ph III 3793/331. Instruments were not opened.

Homes for Sale in River Oaks

As of October 4, 2026, this guide does not publish an active listing count or a list price. No portal snapshot was used. Brokerage marketing pages were not used as sources.

What the tax roll supports is three phase tags on Misty Oaks Court, Oaks Court, and Misty Oaks Place, with year-built values from 1994 through 2017 on the improved parcels, plus one unimproved lot and one common-area parcel that is not a house. Do not treat 116 Oaks Court as a finished house. Year built on that parcel is zero.

There is no team market-report URL for River Oaks yet. Ask for a fresh MLS pull before treating any count as live.

Types of Homes

Public records support three phase tags and a property-type split. They do not support a menu of floor plans or a square-foot range.

Residential improved lots are the bulk of the tax roll: 55 parcels, year built 1994 through 2017 where that field is greater than zero.
One unimproved lot in phase II, lot 5, situs 116 Oaks Court.
One common-area parcel whose legal is a landscape and slope easement, not a house.
Not a condo regime in the property types returned for this legal set.

Bedroom counts and living area are not published here. They were not taken from a listing site.

Neighborhood Amenities

The association parcel is a landscape and slope easement on the legal line. It is not a lake and not a clubhouse.

TMS 003522-02-001. Owner River Oaks Homeowners Association. Property type subdivision common area. Legal “RIVER OAKS PHS I LANDSCAPE/SLOPE ESMT.” Acres field 0.37. Situs 0 Misty Oaks Court. Tax district 1.
Gate: not in this record
Dues: not published in the county record used here
Pool codes on individual parcels were not used. The legend was not retrieved. They are not a community amenity

If a seller's packet shows an assessment, the packet and the recorded covenants win over this page.

Shopping, Dining, and Recreation

River Oaks uses a Lexington 29072 mailing address in unincorporated Lexington County. This page does not name stores or restaurants, and it does not publish a drive time. Tour the route you will actually use.

On-site recreation is not a park directory. The county record is a landscape and slope easement owned by the association. That easement is not an amenity lake. Off-site Lake Murray parks and ramps are a separate trip. No parcel in this set is property type lakefront. Do not infer frontage from “River” in the name.

Use the Market Data section for the figures this page will stand behind: $525,000 on May 28, 2026, for 212 Misty Oaks Court, and $585,000 on December 3, 2025, for 240 Misty Oaks Court. Price any other house from the phase and current MLS comps. Do not average these two sales into a neighborhood price.

116 Oaks Court: residential unimproved, year built 0. Not a finished house in this file
Schools: not assigned here. Use the district locator

Schools are not assigned in the records used here. No school locator was queried, and no school building is named on this page. Tax district labels in the county auditor's TY2025 millage schedule sit in the School District One column. That is a millage column, not an enrollment letter. Confirm the address with Lexington County School District One. The district locator is on the enrollment page (GuideK12, 2024 locator).

Waterfront Homes

River Oaks is not a water right. No parcel in this set is property type lakefront. The association legal is a landscape and slope easement, not a lake. Do not infer Lake Murray frontage from the word “River.”

This page does not assign a dock, a beach, or a Lake Murray lot line.

Lake Murray Access

Classify River Oaks as an unincorporated Lexington County subdivision whose county file does not show Lake Murray frontage:

On the county class: residential lots and one landscape and slope easement
Not established: Lake Murray frontage, a resident beach, a community ramp, or a private dock
Not the product: a lakefront plat, and not the other “River” masters named above
Off site: Lake Murray's public ramps and marinas are a separate drive. This page does not publish that drive time

Buyers who want a lot the county classes as lakefront need a different plat.

Location and Commute

River Oaks is in unincorporated Lexington County, mailing city Lexington, ZIP 29072. A municipal point check at 101 Misty Oaks Court hit Unincorporated, designation OUT. Every River Oaks address point in this pull was unincorporated.

This page does not publish a minute count. Drive the commute at the hour you travel. The three internal streets in this pull are Misty Oaks Court, Oaks Court, and Misty Oaks Place.

Nearby Neighborhoods to Compare

The county file distinguishes names. It does not give a ranked list of neighbors or a straight-line distance. This page does not invent either.

River Club, River Meadows, River Park, River Ridge, River Run, Riverland Park, Rivers Edge, Riverside, Riverview, Indian River, Bush River, and Flow Riverfront Townhomes are other master names. Do not merge them with River Oaks
A closed-up “Riveroaks” spelling appears on two restrictions-index lines. The book and page pairs still match this GIS layer. They are not a second community

More Lexington guides sit on the Neighborhoods hub. Compare town limits and water class on the plat, not from the word “river.”

Buying a Home in River Oaks

A practical checklist from the county file:

Confirm the legal subdivision is River Oaks, two words, in Lexington 29072, unincorporated, and not another River master
Do not ask for one lot count. NumberLots is null. Address points are 56. Legal-name parcels are 57
Read the phase on the legal. Prefixes vary (“PHS I” and “PH I” are the same master)
Skip the landscape easement. Do not treat 116 Oaks Court as a finished house in this file
Ask for any covenants and any assessment. This guide has no dues number
Do not assume a gate or Lake Murray frontage. Neither is in this record
Confirm school assignment with the district locator. This guide does not name a school as assigned
Price from the two recorded assessor sales and current comps, not from a blog range

Call The Patrick O'Connor Team at 803-243-0224 for a current MLS pull and a tour.

Selling a Home in River Oaks

Buyers will ask which phase the lot is in, whether the mailing city is the town limit (it is not, on this file), and what the May 2026 and December 2025 assessor sales do and do not say about price. They will also ask about the association and the landscape easement.

Price from the recorded lot and from truly similar River Oaks sales. Put the phase, the unincorporated jurisdiction, and any covenants in writing. Do not borrow a median or a Lake Murray price. The Patrick O'Connor Team can build that packet and the launch plan.
