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. ## Status Construction activity is underway per Washington Department of Ecology records: the site holds an active Construction Stormwater General Permit (WAR313887), first effective September 17, 2024 and renewed effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2030.

Current D.R. Horton marketing describes the community as approximately **181 homes**. Living Lacey reports the official plat number of 182 as the historical planning record and flags the 181 figure as builder marketing; if the final count differs, we'll update this page with a cited source. ## What we know - D.R.
