One of St. Louis County's best-kept secrets, the small but beautiful City of Oakland is nestled between Webster Groves, Crestwood, Kirkwood, and Glendale. The city's 7.5 miles of tree-shaded streets are lined with residences that offer great architectural diversity. Elegant homes designed by respected local architects combine with post-war era bungalows, arts and crafts-styled cottages, and turn-of-the-century homes that feature mature greenery. Oakland residents enjoy a prime location near Kirkwood's many amenities, although the city is proud of a growing list of local services and advantages. Oakland boasts a country club, private girls’ high school, one of the state's largest long-term care facilities, a St. Louis County library branch, and a lush city park. The former Kirkwood R-7 School District elementary school has been redeveloped as a technology center and early childhood center for the local school district and Oakland residents.
