More About Oakland, FL

Oakland, FL homes are situated in a small-town atmosphere that would seem out of step with the modern metropolis of Orlando, only 17 miles away, if it wasn't for the modern amenities that the homes and businesses enjoy. The streets are as often clay as paved and the driving speed is slower here. Children ride bikes and play underneath towering old oaks or by the southern shores of Lake Apopka.

Real estate in Oakland has been carefully monitored by the city, to ensure that no garish "modern" developments spoil the overall atmosphere of the community. Houses are built along graceful lines that blend in well with the area's semi-rural, "old time" look and feel. Modern amenities combined with classic home lines make real estate in Oakland a desirable commodity that is sure to do well in the future market.

One area that has risen to prominence in Oakland is one of the first "green" certified communities in the state: Oakland Park. Homes here are built with energy efficient materials and building practices and contain ENERGY STAR rated appliances. The goal was to create a walkable neighborhood of networked trails and paths interspersing the homes, businesses and green space.
