Nestled in the dense woodlands and mountainous terrain of the suburbs of New Jersey, Oakland is situated about 30 miles northwest of New York City. Whether locals intend to commute daily for work, or trek into the city for entertainment, shopping, or dining options, the Big Apple is easily commutable. Oakland nears the New Jersey and New York state line, so residents get easy access to major metropolitan areas in both states.
The Oakland Recreation Complex keeps residents active outdoors, while the small businesses, including a few delicious restaurants like Portobello, keep the community spirit and small town charm alive. Oakland offers residents excellent public schools like Indian Hills High School, and an overall family-friendly atmosphere. Enjoy the great outdoors by golfing at nearby New Jersey Country Club, exploring the Ramapo Valley Country Reservation, or hiking the trails at Norvin Green State Forest.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
