Oakridge had 5,620 residents in 2021, 87% in owner households, with a median household income of $112,000. The typical move is a three- or four-bedroom family house, often an original owner selling after decades, and the townhouse complexes bring a steady run of two-bedroom moves.
One tip for your Oakridge move
The row-house complexes have shared parking courts too tight for a 26-ft truck, so we stage at the nearest street frontage and dolly in; tell us the unit and which court you face, and for houses on the reservoir side remember that 90 Avenue is the park boundary, so we come in from interior streets.
