From roots to revitalization
Oakley, California, is one of the state’s newest cities, but it has a long history of being one the most beautiful and bountiful spots in the region. Located between Stockton and Oakland, the city was incorporated in 1999, and in that short time, its population has nearly doubled. It’s known for its gently rolling hills, country lanes and picturesque location just south of the Big Break, a small bay off the San Joaquin River. “We're primarily a bedroom community and a lot of our citizens commute west to Oakland, San Francisco and Silicon Valley," says Oakley City Council member Aaron Meadows, who grew up in the city.
While the city has a pastoral background and small-town character, its goals for the future include developing its industries, growing its workforce and adding more high-density, multi-family housing along with a state-of-the-art public library. "When I was growing up in Oakley, there were about 2,500 people and now it's closer to 45,000. To meet that the population growth, the city council wants to bring more jobs and increase public safety. We’ve worked to increase staffing in our police department and maintain our parks. We want to keep our citizens in the city so they're not forced to go beyond to have their needs met," Meadows says.

A hundred-year range of homes in a competitive housing market
Homes in Oakley are typically Craftsman bungalows and two-story stucco homes with attached garages and brick detailing. Some Spanish revival-style options are available as well. There are older constructions that date back to the early 1900s and new constructions as recent as 2024. The median price for a home is around $700,000 which is up 5% from the previous year. “Updated houses are common, which is typical of more mature neighborhoods because often the original owner is moving out and new families are coming in to do some remodeling,” says Melody Royal, broker and owner of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Royal & Associates. “These homes are usually priced in the median price range so they do tend to sell pretty quickly.” Lawns are decorated by palm trees, interspersed with spacious driveways and lined with sidewalks. Oakley's limited inventory combined with high demand for the city's amenities and comforts have resulted in a competitive market. Meadows says, "You can buy a more affordable home here, and the amount of square feet you get here compared to places like Walnut Creek is substantially more for the dollar."
