Tranquil bedroom community 50 miles from San Francisco

One-and-a-half miles from downtown Oakley, South Oakley is a bedroom community with numerous green spaces, recreational options and nearby shopping opportunities. “The South Oakley community was built with the idea that people would want to interact and go to a park or sporting activity. They have Little League, soccer leagues and dog parks. And it’s one of the last places in the Bay Area where people can get homes from the 2000s with a lot of bang for their buck,” says Jeff Kenney, a Realtor with JDK & Associates Realty with a decade of experience. “Lots of people live here and work in San Jose, Fremont and Oakland.”

Staying close to nature with nearly a dozen parks

South Oakley is filled with green spaces, and Creekside Park has an array of activities to try. There’s a skatepark with rails and ramps, a soccer field and bocce ball courts. A community garden occupies one corner with over two dozen plots for growing flowers, produce and more. A BMX track runs along one side, over the Mike Carlson Bridge and connects to the multi-use Marsh Creek Regional Trail. Nunn-Wilson Family Park is home to a large playground, a splash pad and a baseball diamond. It also has the Koda Dog Park. This manicured area contains agility equipment that encourages dogs to socialize and play. The Delta De Anza Regional Trail runs just above the neighborhood, following the path of the Contra Costa Canal. It also parallels the journey of early Spanish explorers who visited the region in the 1700s. The paved multi-use pathway is popular with people wanting a quiet stroll or a quick bike ride.

An urban neighborhood with room to move

South Oakley has a mix of one- and two-story homes built in contemporary, Spanish-inspired and Craftsman-styles. Front lawns are small and tidy, and many backyards have in-ground pools. Roads follow a grid pattern in some subdivisions, while others have gently curving streets ending in cul-de-sacs. “Many of the homes in the area were built in the early 1980s, and you’ll find a lot of energy-efficient properties with features like dual-paned windows,” says Laurie Wexner, a local Realtor with BHG Real Estate Royal & Associates who has 15 years of experience in the business. Homes sell for a median price of $725,000 after 30 days, although prices range from $550,000 to $900,000.
