We live in Oakhurst. Our property taxes exceed our loan payment, and they increased dramatically last year. There are two different water districts in Oakhurst and ours is the one with higher taxes. We briefly considered Auburn Trails because their taxes were much lower, but we weren't interested in new construction. I have noticed Comcast vans in Auburn Trails though, and that makes us a bit jealous. Our cable options are very limited. I like the neighborhood as a whole, but we are not pleased with the HOA and Community Asset Management. You should read their online reviews. I am not familiar with Tavola, but I did notice a new neighborhood being developed on Sorters Rd where it intersects with Northpark.
Edited to add: MCAD stated that the Grand Parkway was a significant factor in our property value increase. 4951
