Oakdale pairs classic 1920s–40s architecture with front-porch energy in the heart of Fort Wayne’s “07.” Tree-canopied blocks of Craftsman bungalows, American Foursquares, and Tudors sit a few minutes from downtown Fort Wayne, while coffee stops and eateries along Broadway make everyday errands an easy stroll. To the north, the West Central district adds galleries and nightlife; to the south and east, South Wayne expands the neighborhood fabric with historic homes and parks across Allen County.
Weekends in Oakdale often orbit Foster Park, a signature greenspace along the St. Marys River featuring an 18-hole public golf course, trails, gardens, and picnic pavilions. The park links directly to the Rivergreenway, giving runners and cyclists seamless access to miles of riverside path and downtown festivals. Just up Broadway, the Electric Works campus and its Union Street Market bring live music, local produce, and inventive dining into easy reach.
Families appreciate access to Fort Wayne Community Schools, with South Wayne Elementary nearby and students continuing to South Side High School. Neighborhood block clubs and active park programming make it simple to get involved, while quick commutes to major employers and cultural institutions keep daily life convenient.
