Brandon Oaks
An Active, Family-Filled Community with Pools, a Clubhouse, and Entry-Level Pricing
Brandon Oaks is one of Indian Trail's largest and most active neighborhoods, a community of roughly 1,346 homes spread across 16 named sections in Union County. Built out mostly from the mid-1990s through the mid-2000s by builders including DR Horton, Pulte, Ryan Homes, Ryland Homes, Shea Homes, NVR, and True Homes, it's known around town for entry-level and move-up pricing that still comes with two community pools, a clubhouse, and a genuinely engaged HOA.
The neighborhood runs on community involvement. An elected five-member board and standing committees cover everything from pool operations to architectural review, the Brandon Oaks Sharks swim team competes each summer, and a seasonal newsletter, The Oak Leaf, keeps residents up to date on events. Add sidewalks throughout, a pond with picnic tables, pickleball and tennis courts, and easy access to Sun Valley's shopping, dining, and movie theater just up the road, and it's easy to see why families keep choosing Brandon Oaks.

Schools In Brandon Oaks
Brandon Oaks is zoned into Union County Public Schools, not Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, a distinction worth knowing before you compare notes with friends across the county line. Here's who your kids would be zoned for, factual and sourced.
Shiloh Elementary School
Sun Valley Middle School
Sun Valley High School
Union County Public Schools also runs a separate Shiloh Valley Primary School (PK-2) alongside Shiloh Elementary (3-5) in this area, so younger and older elementary siblings from the same Brandon Oaks address can attend different campuses. Confirm zoned schools for your exact address through UCPS's own Attendance/Boundary Maps tool (ucpsnc.org/our-schools/attendanceboundary-maps), not the CMS assignment lookup, which does not apply in Union County.
HOA & Community Amenities
Brandon Oaks has a mandatory HOA, managed through CAMS (Community Association Management Services), with annual dues covering both community pools, the clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, a basketball court, a sand volleyball court, playgrounds, the neighborhood pond and picnic area, and the sidewalks that connect all 16 sections. A recent home listing showed dues of about $664 a year as an example; the Gardens section's 63 patio homes carry an additional, separate HOA due covering landscaping on their non-fenced common areas.
The Clubhouse Pool has a lap-ready pool with a separate baby pool, while the Sports Pool adds a waterslide and a gradually-deepening area for younger swimmers; both are included in annual dues and require a resident pool fob. The HOA is run by an elected board and committees covering architectural review, communications, courts, parks and landscaping, the pool, social events, public safety, the swim team, and welcoming new residents. Confirm current dues before making decisions.
