Walkability 2.8/10·Schools 4.3/10
Oakwood Estates sits on five acres in the Deerfield Area, where a fourteen-minute drive puts you downtown and the daily grind feels manageable rather than suffocating. A restaurant lands less than a mile away—so dinner out doesn't require logistics—while six more sit within walking distance if you're willing to explore. The nearest grocery runs 1.6 miles, and a coffee shop about the same, meaning you're close enough to errands without feeling like you live in them.
