Residential community 5 miles from downtown Auburn

The small residential community of Woodland Park is located at the western city limits of Auburn, 5 miles from downtown and just a few miles from Auburn University. Along with a community pool, Woodland Park has access to a private lake and also boasts a highly rated school district. “A lot of people prefer to be out there to be away from everything but still be a quick drive to downtown,” says Jon Lomax, an agent at LURE Ludlum Real Estate in Auburn. The neighborhood has a CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10, far lower than the national average of 4.

New traditional homes in Woodland Park

Two entrances from Highway 14 lead into the neighborhood, which features quiet streets and cul-de-sacs. Homes, which were built in the 2000s, sit on large, wooded lots with well-manicured front lawns. Many are new traditional-style houses with stone or brick facades and front-facing gables. The homes off Tallyho Drive are larger, with Craftsman-inspired details. Homes rarely come on the market in this small community; two homes sold within the past year, with prices ranging from $383,000 for roughly 2,000 square feet to $427,500 for around 3,500 square feet.

Good grades for Auburn schools

Auburn City Schools serves Woodland Park, with the district ranked as the third-best in the state by Niche. Richland Elementary teaches kindergarten through second grade and receives an A-plus grade from Niche, while A-rated Creekside Elementary serves third through fifth. Students can then attend J.F. Drake Middle for sixth grade, East Samford School for seventh, and Auburn Junior High for eighth and ninth grade, all three of which are given an A. Auburn High, which also receives an A, is ranked as the 12th-best public high school in the state and offers both Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs for its students. Roughly 4 miles away from the neighborhood is Auburn University, the second-largest college in the state with over 30,000 enrollees. The university is also the area’s largest employer.

Woodland Park’s private lake and community pool

The HOA maintains a private lake just east of Tallyho Drive for residents' use, such as fishing or boating. The neighborhood also provides a community pool on the lake’s shore. Kiesel Park, a little over 2 miles away, offers walking trails around a small pond, a dog park and a pre-Civil War house. The Wire Road Soccer Complex is about 4 miles away for youth and recreational sports, featuring enough space for 10 full-size pitches and plenty more smaller youth fields. The Auburn area is well known for its golf offerings, with private clubs like the Auburn University Club and public courses, including the Pines Crossing Golf Course.

Dining just east in downtown Auburn

Woodland Park residents head east towards downtown Auburn for shopping or dining. Downtown offers such dining options as Hamilton’s on Magnolia, an Auburn favorite that features steaks and seafood in a warm dining room or al fresco on the patio. Many of the area’s big-box stores are along the Shug Jordan Parkway, including groceries at the Walmart Neighborhood Market. Fast food options have sprung up around it, including Marco’s Pizza and Milo’s Hamburgers. Meanwhile, the nearest shopping option to the neighborhood is a Dollar General, which is a mile west.

College football each fall

Auburn holds many events yearly, but its most significant is Auburn CityFest, which is held each spring at Kiesel Park. The free festival offers family entertainment, musical acts, and food vendors. The city also has an annual Christmas parade, which draws attendees downtown each December. But college football is the city’s heartbeat, and over 80,000 fans pack Jordan-Hare Stadium on Auburn University’s campus every game day. Visitors pour into the city for football, increasing population and traffic. Woodland Park is less affected due to its location.

Highway 14 leads to downtown Auburn

Woodland Park sits just off Alabama Highway 14 west of Auburn. The neighborhood is car-dependent, though Lee-Russell Public Transit offers a Dial-A-Ride service for residents to call and reserve door-to-door bus service. Downtown is 5 miles east with access around the city on “the loop,” the 12-mile beltway that circles the city. “It’s a straight shot on Highway 14 to downtown,” Lomax says. “You’re probably less than 10 minutes to downtown Auburn.” Meanwhile, the state capital of Montgomery is 50 miles west on Interstate 85. Atlanta is roughly 120 miles northeast on I-85, and air travelers often head to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport for its wide selection of nonstop flights.
