Often referred to as 'The Valley of Homes', Oakland is not densely populated, with 12,000 people in 9 square miles. Known for tree-lined residential neighborhoods and picturesque houses. Oakland has had magnificent homes from the times of yore. There is a bus service, but no rail transportation. A few businesses here like Russ Berrie and Company, Inc. No shopping mall of it's own, but has a strip mall called the 'Copper Tree Mall' which carries most items residents would need. Interstate 287 runs through, with exits at Route 202 and at Skyline Drive.

Brian Chewcaskie is the Borough Attorney

I-287 and US-202 create plenty of speeding tickets and other matters for Oakland Municipal Court.
