About Oakland

Oakland is a quiet, tree-shaded town in west Orange County with a population of around 3,500. Sitting along the southern shore of Lake Apopka, it maintains a distinct old-Florida charm with peaceful side streets and massive oak canopies, even though downtown Orlando is only about twenty miles away. It is also home to the Oakland Avenue Charter School, a popular elementary school owned and operated directly by the town.

Oakland Florida Town Hall

Outdoor recreation is a big part of everyday life here. The paved West Orange Trail runs right through town, giving cyclists, runners, and walkers a scenic route into neighboring Winter Garden. You will also find the Oakland Nature Preserve, where a wooden boardwalk leads through shaded wetlands out to Lake Apopka. For anyone looking for a close-knit, relaxed community within easy reach of Central Florida jobs and entertainment, Oakland is a great place to settle down.
