The Enclave at Oak Tree is a large new D.R. Horton residential community along Marvin Road SE near 22nd Ave SE, in the Lacey Urban Growth Area of Thurston County. The approved preliminary plat covers approximately 36.22 acres and 182 residential lots — 131 detached single-family homes and 51 attached, cluster-style townhomes — with approximately 12.63 acres of open space across nine tracts set aside for critical-area preservation, tree preservation, stormwater management, landscaping, and recreation. The site is split-zoned Low Density Residential and Moderate Density Residential, and Thurston County served as the SEPA lead agency.

**A note on the home count:** official 2023 SEPA documents approved **182 residential lots** (131 detached homes + 51 townhomes). Current D.R. Horton marketing describes the community as approximately **181 homes**.
