Oakdale Real Estate at a Glance

Stretching out over 11 square miles, the Oakdale community certainly has a lot to offer in terms of real estate and housing opportunities. A number of condo complexes and townhome communities have been developed in Oakdale over the years, which tend to all hover around I-634, a major highway that juts right through the center of town. Most such listings are usually quite affordable and are a great option for many of today’s on-the-go professionals who don’t want the hassle and headaches associated with on-going maintenance and upkeep of a new home. On the other hand, if you need more space or a detached single-family home tends to fit your lifestyle better, there’s a good chance you won’t be disappointed with the inventory here, which usually ranges from functional yet roomy ranch style homes to traditional two story residences with lots of living space and storage.

For home buyers with kids, the Oakdale boundaries lie completely within the North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale school district, and for the most part, the city’s students are divided into two separate high schools—Tartan High School, which tends to serve the southern half of town; and North High School in North St. Paul, which serves most of the students living on the north side of Oakdale.
