A quiet community about 5 miles east of downtown Athens
Oakdale’s rural setting is accentuated by its outstretched country roads, wide-open fields and a network of trickling creeks and estuaries. And planned subdivisions give residents a sense of suburbia in a quiet country setting. It features nearby golfing ranges and plenty of land for hunting. Plus, it maintains easy access to shopping and locally owned restaurants, sitting about 5 miles east of downtown Athens. “Oakdale is all-around a great choice,” says Realtor Taylor Gregory with Realty One Group Titanium. Gregory has sold homes across the region for nearly a decade. “Whether you’re older and retiring or younger and starting a family, Oakdale is a wonderful place to live.”
Oakdale is growing with a large number of new homes under construction.
Large acreage homes are rare in Oakdale but still can be found.

Planned subdivisions feature New traditional homes
Oakdale has many planned subdivisions, like The Ledges of Oakdale and Ridge at Oakdale. These communities are filled with brick contemporary colonials and New Traditional homes with attached garages, fenced-in backyards and roomy front yards. Homes are typically built close together and connected by well-maintained sidewalks. “It’s super safe. Kids ride their bikes around town or play in backyards, and parents feel comfortable not having them in sight the entire time,” Gregory says. Houses typically list between $300,000 and $600,000 for a three- or four-bedroom house, while custom homes can list between $600,000 and $800,000. Several homes are not part of a subdivision, sitting on private lots that measure over an acre.
Much of Oakdale's real estate is made up of newly constructed custom homes.
Oakdale is a growing area with numerous new residential developments.
