Anyone here live in Oak Glen neighborhood or know people who live there? What's the crowd like? Shuls?

You mean Howell?

People are in the Candlewood neighborhood and Woodstome neighborhood.

Street names to search;
For Candlewood: Newbury, Old Bridge, Nottingham, Salem Hill.

For Woodstone: Starlight, Sweetbriar Trail, Pepperidge, Mendon.

The crowd is a mix. More yeshivish/ litvish, and some heimish.

There is a shabbos minyan in the Candlewood neighborhood.

People are there already.

ETA: I'm assuming you mean closer to Snowdrift Dr and Appletree Rd. I don't think there is a family there yet, but it's so close by. I wouldn't hesitate to buy there. People will follow you. That neighborhood is already expanding in all directions.

Okay, that's a bit further out in the other direction.

Same rules as above. People will be there in no time, most likely.

It's just a half hour walk to the minyan on Newbury.

There are a few jewish families living on starlight or in contract. And the streets nearby. As soon as there's enough families a new minyan will open closer by.
