Oakland Park
In keeping with our commitment to blending in and feeling like a natural part of the area, the architecture of Oakland Park draws great inspiration from historic homes in Oakland and Winter Garden. This vision mandates original designs and a 360-degree approach to detail, not merely facing the home with historically appropriate trappings. Homes are oriented toward the street with the interiors given an outward-facing perspective. Homes are serviced by a rear alley or garage, contributing to the aesthetic and pedestrian-friendly nature of Oakland Park. Generous front porches allow ample opportunity for interaction with neighbors and a feeling of emotional investment in - and connection to - this small-town community. As towns evolved and grew in the 1800s and early 1900s, different types of residences would be added to existing streets as the need arose. Following that precedent, we've chosen to combine attached and detached residences along the same thoroughfare to capture the welcoming aura found on residential streets of that era. Exceptional attention to detail and authenticity of design are an integral part of the vision to recreate in Oakland Park now what the original settlement might have been like.

The community of Oakland Park encompasses approximately 258 acres of land stretching from the shores of Lake Apopka south to Oakland Avenue. Much of what makes Oakland Park feel like a naturally occurring community is a steadfast commitment to preserving and enhancing the beautiful Old Florida feel of the land. As would have been the case over a century ago, earthmoving has been kept to a minimum. The community follows the natural grade of the land, which slopes up from the shoreline of Lake Apopka, providing lake views for many of the homes near the lake. Magnificent live oaks have been preserved throughout the community.

Architecture


New Urbanism:
The Oakland Park community incorporates the principals of New Urbanism, or traditional neighborhood development (TND). This development pattern is in contrast to conventional suburban sprawl so prevalent over the past fifty years. Through the diversity of its architecture, the inherent walkability of the community, the abundance of open civic spaces and public trails, and the integration of an accessible neighborhood center, Oakland Park promises a small-town feel.

40+ Mile Long Bike Trail - I have rolled many a mile over the last 12 years on this trail, this is beautiful country. See you on the trail.
