New Construction Homes in Oak Forest are much larger, much more expensive. Oak Forest and nearby Garden Oaks lots cannot be subdivided. Whereas in parts of the Heights and other areas a house might be torn down and two new homes built on the old lot. Not here. If a builder pays $250K for a lot, his new home has to sell for at least 3X that amount. Thus new homes typically start at ~$800K.
A brief table of Prices for new homes in Oak Forest is below:
