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.
