Oakdale, just east of St. Paul, is known for its huge groves of white, black and burr oak trees. This fast growing community of 7,180 acres has held its small town atmosphere even though new neighborhoods now grace its wooded, rolling terrain. Its strategic location five minutes west of the St. Croix River and 10 minutes from downtown St. Paul is a reason for Oakdale’s recent popularity. Interstates 94 and 694, and Hwy. 36 provide easy access to the metro. Oakdale’s recreational opportunities abound with parks, extensive trail systems, lakes, and golf courses. Parks and playgrounds make Oakdale a favorite for families. The Maplewood-North St. Paul-Oakdale school district serves the city. Oakdale offers close proximity to major corporations of 3M, State Farm Insurance, Imation, and H.B. Fueller Co. Homes and townhouses are available in ranges from $100,000 to $300,000+.
