Oakdale
Ranch-style options
Single-family homes and mobile homes in Oakdale are almost exclusively from the 1940s and ‘50s during the post-World War II development boom. The midcentury ranch-style homes are typically two- or three-bedroom houses with attached garages and mid-sized yards. Prices range from $350,000 to $420,000. Many of the homes have large trees in the yards, and the streets are flanked by sidewalks, making it easy to walk the dog. Mobile homes at parks like the 55+ Lamplighter Sacramento are in the $90,000 to $135,000 range.

Thrills at Scandia
Kids in the area can head to Scandia Fun Center, which sits off Interstate 80 in the heart of the neighborhood. This amusement park has a large arcade, mini golf and batting cages in addition to thrill rides. Just to the east of the neighborhood is the Sky Zone Trampoline Park is a popular spot for local birthday parties with a ninja warrior course, zip lines and more. Bowlero of North Sacramento is the spot to roll a strike and offers league play. Hamilton Street Park has a playground for kids as well as tennis courts, a basketball court and plenty of green space. Locals go to play soccer at Oakdale Park or have an afternoon picnic in the open areas. Both Parks are just south of the neighborhood on Myrtle Avenue.

Delta Borne Brews
Adults, on the other hand, can relax with a cold one at Delta Borne Brewing. The brewery has a rustic feel with wooden décor and often hosts food trucks. Throughout the week, Hot Stone Pizza is a popular spot due to daily lunch specials on pizza and much more. Brookfields Sacramento is a spot serving diner classics for breakfast, lunch and dinner, while Silver Garden & Mongolian BBQ is a casual spot to grab a bite to eat. Madison Avenue intersects the neighborhood from east to west and is home to many big-box and grocery stores like Target, Four Seasons Market and Smart & Final.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
