Oakland Florida Homes for Sale

Ideally located along the shores of Lake Apopka and surrounded by enormous oak trees, the Town of Oakland was first incorporated as long ago as 1887.  Oakland offers a quiet residential retreat and serene country atmosphere to a small population of less than 1,500 residents.  At the same time, the area surrounding the community has experienced considerable growth and development, dotting the region with new subdivisions and beautiful homes.  In fact, maintaining its traditional image of being "Nestled among the Oaks" has been one of the city's greatest challenges in the face of the area's rapid expansion.  Oakland is the proud home of the West Orange Trailhead and the Oakland Nature Preserve, providing excellent opportunities for recreation.  The trailhead attracts thousands of outdoor enthusiasts each year, while the Oakland Nature Preserve ensures a scenic retreat that showcases the splendor of native Florida plant and animal life. Residents and visitors alike appreciate Oakland as the epitome of yesterday's small and charming Florida town.
