Oak Homes for Rent

In Albany's Oak neighborhood, midcentury ranch-style homes from the 1960s and split-level houses with pastel earth tones are common, while the Chartwell Station subdivision features more modern two-story Craftsman homes. The area is characterized by its compact lots and a mix of single-family homes and multiplex townhouses, with the latter being popular for rental investments. Oak is home to several parks, including Draper Park with its playground and picnic area, Pineway Park with a basketball court, and Grand Prairie Park, which offers walking paths around a pond. The Albany Community Pool provides an Olympic-sized swimming facility. Dining options include Pizza Now! and La Roca, while shopping needs can be met at the Heritage Mall and Geary Street Market. The neighborhood is car-dependent, but bike lanes and the Albany Transit System provide alternative transportation options. Oak is a few miles from downtown Albany, where attractions like the Historic Carousel & Museum and the Albany Civic Theater are located. The Greater Albany Public School District serves the area, though local schools have average ratings. Oak's crime rate is comparable to the national average, providing a balanced living environment.
