Real Estate Blog for the North & East Twin Cities

Oakdale is a community that has continued to expand and develop in the east metro of the Twin Cities. Just drive Hadley Avenue, Century Avenue or Interstate 694 to see all of the new retail establishments and residential developments to get an idea of how continuous changes have affected the community over the past several years. Conveniently located along I694 and north of I94, Oakdale is a vibrant part of Washington County. The community is served by the North St Paul/Maplewood/Oakdale School District #622 and is home to the Tartan Titans. The Tartan High School name is no doubt reflective of the roots of the international company 3M and Scotch Tape, with its distinctive red and/or green tartan plaid logo. The 3M main headquarters is located on the eastern border of our capital city, St. Paul, a border shared with the community of Oakdale.
