Oakdale Minnesota Real Estate

Nestled in the St. Croix River Valley nine miles northeast of St. Paul is where the City of Oakdale can be found.  Located near the main highways of Interstate 94 and 694, as well as Minnesota Highway 36, Oakdale is a lovely, family-friendly community with much to offer residents. 

A mixed bag of commercial, industrial, residential, and recreational areas make Oakdale an ideal place to live, work, and play. There are several regional parks in Oakdale and the surrounding area including Battle Creek Regional Park, Sunfish Park, and Oakdale Park, a 220-acre "passive" recreation area that includes a nature center and Mud Lake. The nearby Lake Elmo Park Reserve is 2,165 acres of rolling hills, forested areas, and prairie meadows.  For a more refined outdoor experience, play a round  of golf or two at Oakdale Greens, Oak Marsh Golf Club or Hillcrest Country Club.

Though Oakdale has many options for both shopping and dining, the city is a convenient 20-minute drive to Stillwater, with all its gift and antique shops, bookstores, coffee shops, clothing and home stores, and restaurants. It is also less than a 20 minute drive to both St. Paul and Minneapolis from Oakdale.

The major highways give residents a simple commute to the rest of the Twin Cities, giving this suburban community access to the larger metro and all it has to offer The city parks and playgrounds make this charming community of Oakdale a favorite with singles, young families and even those looking for a nice place to retire.
