Oakvale blends river-town tranquility with quick connections to daily essentials. Set along the East River and just off U.S. 460, it puts you minutes from the shops, eateries, and employers of Princeton and Bluefield, while keeping a quieter, front-porch pace at home. Outdoor time comes easy here: walk the gorge-side trail to the cascading Brush Creek Preserve and Falls, cast a line or hike shaded hollows at Camp Creek State Park & Forest, or spend a day biking, boating, and zip-lining at Pipestem Resort State Park. For trip ideas, local festivals, and insider tips, the region’s official guide, Visit Mercer County, is a helpful companion.
Families appreciate that Oakvale is served by Mercer County schools, with programs and extracurriculars coordinated through the district’s central office at Mercer County Schools. Higher education is close by at Concord University in Athens, a short drive for classes, cultural events, and Mountain Lion athletics. Health care needs are covered by Princeton Community Hospital, which offers a wide range of specialties and outpatient services.
Whether you’re seeking a starter home with room to grow or a downsized place with easy access to trails and town, Oakvale rewards everyday living with convenience and calm.
