Nestled between Johns Lake and Lake Apopka, Oakland is a growing town just three miles west of Winter Garden. Spanning about two square miles, Oakland exudes a true small-town atmosphere, with numerous houses available for rent along tree-lined streets interspersed with large swaths of green space.
Oakland’s natural beauty lends plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation, from the multiple sprawling lakes to Oakland Nature Preserve and the West Orange Trail. Although Oakland may feel secluded, the community is convenient to countless suburban amenities strewn along West Colonial Drive. Florida’s Turnpike also cuts through Oakland, connecting residents to all that Greater Orlando has to offer.
