A sprawling neighborhood at Mankato's edge

White Oaks Park is an established neighborhood on the southern edge of Mankato. With open spaces to the south and more commercial activity to the north, the neighborhood features larger homes than those closer to the city center, but residents still enjoy shopping and dining within a 2-mile radius. Minnesota State's campus is about a mile to the west.

Away from the city noise

White Oaks Park consists of curving streets and cul-de-sacs named for bird species, though sidewalks do not line each street. Homes here tend to be newer, with most built since the 1990s. Arts and Crafts styles, new traditional and ranch-style homes are most common. Prices range from $180,000 to $380,000 on homesites of less than a quarter-acre and $330,000 to $550,000 for similar homes but on lots up to an acre.

Surrounded by green spaces

Lion’s Park is a peaceful neighborhood reprieve with a playground, picnic tables and a paved walking path leading to MSU and threading through several surrounding neighborhoods. Anglers can cast a line for sunfish and crappie in Lions Lake. Located on Tanager Road, Wings Over White Oaks Park is a large green space with a handicap-accessible playground offering ramps and an adapted swing. Nearby is Goldfinch Pond, surrounded by mature trees. Just north of the neighborhood is the YMCA Chesley Skate Park, offering recreational programs for adults and kids.

The Mankato Public School District

The Mankato Public School District serves the neighborhood. Students can begin their education at Rosa Parks Elementary School, which scored a B on Niche. Students can also attend Prairie Winds Middle School and Mankato East High School, both of which received a B-plus from the site. Mankato East High offers after-school programs such as VEX Robotics, Planetarium Production Club and Link Crew Leaders.

Travel in White Oaks Park and beyond

Residents have easy access to downtown Mankato via Monks Avenue and Glenwood Avenue. Most locals use a car to get around, though Pohl Road is served by a bus stop and Stadium Road and Balcerzak Drive have bike lanes. MSU's Blakeslee Stadium, with a capacity of about 7,000, is about a mile and a half west of the neighborhood on Stadium Road. The Mankato Regional Airport is about 8 miles northeast of the neighborhood, though it's served by one airline. A broader selection of flights and destinations can be found in Minneapolis-St. Paul, about 80 miles northeast.

Neighborhood pizza joints and nearby shopping hubs

Jake's Stadium Pizza is a family-owned local staple that’s been around since 1973, operating as a family business for three generations. “We were fast casual before fast casual was a category,” says co-owner Andrew Boyer-Kern. “It’s been that way for 50-plus years.” Just down the road is Shawarmania Mediterranean Grill, known for their authentic Middle Eastern fare. For groceries, there's an Aldi on Madison Avenue, about 2 miles north of White Oaks Park.
