What to expect from Oakdale’s rustic setting and location
Oakdale is known for its laid-back country feel, with cattle farms in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Known as the "Cowboy Capital of the World," it has a well-established rodeo culture, a rustic downtown and acres of rolling farmland within a short drive of the city. While removed from Highway 99 and the beaten path of the Central Valley, it still has quick access to industry hubs like Stockton and Modesto.

What home sizes and prices look like across Oakdale
Architectural styles include New Traditional, contemporary and ranch-style homes, some with fenced-in gardens and oak trees along wide streets. Home prices range from the mid $200,000s to the upper $900,000s. You can live a rural lifestyle on the town's outskirts. Neighborhoods such as East Oakdale are home to large estate-style builds, ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 square feet. Homes in Oakdale are typically smaller but share similar layouts and styles. "Oakdale is a more rural community. It is the closest [Modesto area community] to the foothills and the Sierras," says Kristopher Losole, a real estate agent at PMZ Real Estate. "As you leave town and work your way up, there are a lot of ranchettes between one and five acres with horse barns."
Newer homes throughout Oakdale include Craftsman-style architecture.

Why families value Oakdale schools and athletics
School choice in Oakdale Joint Unified centers on interdistrict transfer requests, which it reviews and grants based on capacity and policy. With no magnet programs and no published open-enrollment plan, placement remains tied to residence. The district also has many highly rated schools, such as Fair Oaks Elementary, Cloverland Elementary, Oakdale Junior High and Oakdale High School, which has a stellar academic and athletic reputation. "We're a huge football town. Everybody's in the stands cheering every Friday night," says Dan Phipps, Team Lead at Professional Realty Associates. "This is the kind of place where everybody knows everybody. We take a lot of pride in our small-town atmosphere."
Fair Oaks Elementary School serves younger students.
Oakdale High School is highly rated and has strong athletic programs.

Sconza Chocolates is a confectionery and candy manufacturing warehouse. Healthcare professionals work at the Oak Valley Hospital District, which has an emergency room 5 minutes west of the town center.
River trips, lake days and a private golf course
Within a 20-minute drive, there are two major attractions for cooling off on the water. Knight's Ferry is a popular place to drop kayaks and take a four-hour float down the Stanislaus River toward Riverbank. Woodward Reservoir Park has a large blue lake and distant views of the desert mountains. Take your canines to the Oakdale Dog Park to let them run in wide-open, fenced-in spaces. Yosemite National Park is about 70 miles east. "You can get to the foothills in 15 minutes and the Sierra Nevada Mountains in half an hour. There is also a nice country club with an 18-hole golf course," Losole says. Oakdale Golf and Country Club members play on a private course with narrow rolling fairways.
