LOCATION:
The City of Oakley, incorporated in July 1999, is one of California’s youngest cities. It is bordered by the City of Antioch and the 135 foot tall Antioch Bridge (Hwy 160), to the west and and is bisected by Highway 4, that extends to the City of Brentwood, to the South. The bridge provides access across the Delta, which is Oakley's northern boundry.
DESCRIPTION:
As the City’s motto states, Oakley truly is “A Place for Families in the Heart of the Delta.” Oakley is a growing community where residents enjoy a charming area, a friendly atmosphere, safe neighborhoods, highly ranked schools and was named as one of the best places to raise a family in the Bay Area.
Today a landscape of gently rolling fields, orchards, and vineyards provides a glimpse of Oakley's agricultural past. From a quiet Delta farming town, Oakley has blossomed into a growing community of landscaped parks, abundant recreational opportunities, shopping centers, and planned business and commercial development.
The City’s leaders are intent on developing its historic downtown and creating a bustling pedestrian-friendly area with shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues that will be a destination throughout the day and into the evening.
Oakley is a community that is rich in history, supports strong family values, and offers a high quality of life. Residents take pride in being a part of a City that is building a very prosperous future for generations to come.
