A quiet reprieve from big city living, Oakdale is a charming suburb about 15 miles west of Downtown Pittsburgh, and just 11 miles south of the Pittsburgh International Airport. Though Oakdale offers a sense of seclusion from urban amenities, it has great proximity to one of Pennsylvania’s grandest metropolises and its many attractions, including Station Square, Point State Park, and PNC Park.
Oakdale is lined with single-family homes, grassy lots, and walkable streets. Families enjoy access to numerous ball fields, playgrounds, and parks such as Oakdale Neighborhood Playground and Oakdale Community Park. Though Oakdale is mainly residential, there are a few hidden gems in town. Grab a bite to eat at The Diner, a local spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Afterwards, order a craft brew at Helicon Brewing on Union Avenue!
