Ranches and new traditional homes

Oakdale North offers a range of housing options including classic ranch-style homes, new traditional single-family homes in HOA communities and newly constructed multi-story rowhouses. Most ranches sit on quarter acre lots. With the extra yard space and distance from the narrow, oak tree-lined roads that run through this neighborhood, these houses offer more privacy and space. In other pockets of this neighborhood, like in the Mattamy planned development area, newly constructed townhouses and traditional homes feature paved sidewalks and a more walkable layout. HOAs are common and can range from $150-$250. An older four-bedroom home in need of some TLC will cost about $225,000, while a newly constructed four-bed could cost $800,000.
