Oakdale is a family-friendly Twin Cities suburb
Just past Saint Paul ’s East Side is Oakdale, a Twin Cities suburb that offers a slower pace of life without sacrificing city convenience. Highly rated schools, parks and community events help give Oakdale a family-friendly vibe, but you can find something for all ages. While the community’s retail is limited, you are minutes from Woodbury's many shopping centers. Highway access and public transportation make it easy to get across the Twin Cities, with Downtown Saint Paul less than 10 miles away and downtown Minneapolis about 20 miles away.
Oakdale is a Twin Cities suburb with a peaceful atmosphere.
There are several animal species that visit and live in the city's wildlife areas.

Homes generally cost less than surrounding suburbs
“Oakdale, it’s kind of an extension of the East Side of Saint Paul,” says Realtor Rick Bean with the Hartmann Team at Re/Max Results, who has been working in the area since 2011. “You transition from one to the other without even noticing that you changed cities.” Part of this is because of the housing, with older cottages, farmhouses and ranch-style homes closer to Saint Paul. You’ll also find plenty of New Traditional and modern Craftsman styles, which range from 1,000 to over 4,000 square feet. Prices typically range from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$600,000s, but the largest properties can cost up to $1.3 million. The median single-family home price is higher than in Beaver Lake, but lower in Lake Elmo. “I think the prices are even more attractive than in Woodbury,” Bean says. Townhouses are also incredibly common, and generally range from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$500,000s.
You can find several contemporary homes in Oakdale.
Older homes include single-story cottages.

Students can attend the highly rated Tartan High School
As part of the North Saint Paul-Oakdale-Maplewood School District, most students attend their assigned schools. However, in- and out-of-district transfers offer some flexibility. The district includes the highly rated Tartan High School, where students can earn college credit through postsecondary enrollment options such as College in the Schools, a partnership with the University of Minnesota.
John Glen Middle School is in the North St. Paul-Oakdale-Maplewood School District.
Tartan High School enrolls over 1600 students.

Highway access and public transportation make it easy to get around
Interstate 694 goes through Oakdale and connects with Interstate 94, which you can take to get across the Twin Cities. Downtown Saint Paul is about a 10-mile, or 15-minute, drive, while downtown Minneapolis is about 20 miles, or 30 minutes, away. Because you are so close to Saint Paul, you have more public transportation than the surrounding suburbs, with Metro Transit buses and the Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit stopping throughout the city. Oakdale is also bikeable, especially compared to some of the other suburbs. “You’re within that 694 loop and there are a lot of trails, so you could easily bike [to downtown Saint Paul],” Bean says.
Community parks and the annual Summerfest bring people together
With neighborhood parks, nature preserves and a golf course, there is plenty to do. You can:
Hike the trails or have a picnic at the Oakdale Nature Preserve
Kayak, fish and play volleyball at Tanners Lake Park
Play 18 holes at the public Oak Marsh Golf Course
Host a birthday party or visit the art gallery at Oakdale Discovery Center
Bring your kids to the ice-skating rink and playground at Richard Walton Park
Besides being “particularly large and pretty nice,” according to Bean, Richard Walton Park is home to Oakdale’s annual Summerfest. Events include a parade, a 5K and a fireworks show, but you can enjoy food trucks and live music all weekend. The park also hosts the Oakdale Farmers Market on Wednesday evenings from June to mid-October.
Tanners Lake Park amenities include a basketball court and a beach.
You can play 18 holes on Oak Marsh Golf Course.

Local restaurants in the city, major retailers are nearby
There is a mix of chain and local restaurants in Oakdale, including:
Sgt. Peppers Grille & Bar, a community staple since the 1990s
Mana Brewing Co., which serves wood-fired pizza and in-house brews
Ember & Bean Roasting Co., where you can order a coffee and hang out at the cafe
The Burrow, a bar and restaurant with activities like axe throwing and laser tag
Bambú, where the menu includes Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese food
Residents can get groceries from Hy-Vee, but travel to Woodbury for the rest of their errands because of shopping centers like Tamarack Village and Woodbury Lakes.
You can get groceries from Cub Foods.
There are fresh groceries & goods served at the local Hy-Vee.
