Oakley video tour coming soon
By Linda Reynolds, Broker, Reynolds Realty Gulf Coast (License #BK3021695) · Updated November 2026
Quick answer: Oakley is a small, deed-restricted neighborhood of single-family homes off 60th Avenue East, tucked behind Ellenton Premium Outlets in Ellenton, FL 34222 (Manatee County). Most homes were built around 2001 and 2002, and many have private pools. Recent sales and listings have run from about $350,000 to $570,000. The HOA is about $375 to $470 a year, there is no CDD, and there is no age restriction.
Oakley is one of those neighborhoods people drive past without knowing it’s there. It sits just behind the outlets, a few minutes from US 301 and I-75, with roomy block homes on good-sized lots. Don’t mix it up with Oakley Place, the separate, slightly newer community across 60th Avenue East. For the bigger picture, see my Ellenton real estate guide.

What is Oakley like?
Oakley is quiet and settled. The homes are concrete block with stucco, mostly custom-style one-story plans with high ceilings, split bedrooms and screened lanais, and many have private pools. Lots run about a fifth to a quarter acre or a little more, so yards have some breathing room, and there are sidewalks through the neighborhood. There’s no clubhouse or community pool, which is why the dues stay so low. You can walk or take a short drive to Ellenton Premium Outlets, restaurants and the Ellenton Ice and Sports Complex, and I-75 at exit 224 is only a few minutes away. Gamble Plantation Historic State Park and the Manatee River are close by too.
What do homes cost in Oakley?
Oakley is small, so only a few homes sell each year. A 3-bedroom pool home of about 2,120 square feet on 32nd Street E sold for about $410,000 in April 2026. Other recent listings of 3-bedroom homes with about 1,830 to 2,110 square feet have run from about $350,000 to $380,000. Larger 4-bedroom pool homes of about 2,400 to 2,600 square feet are at the top of the range, and one on 31st Court E was listed at $570,000.
Prices change month to month and depend on size, pool and updates. Call or text me for current Oakley sales.
Oakley HOA, CDD and schools
The Oakley HOA has been listed at about $375 to $470 a year, one of the lowest fees you’ll find for homes this size in north Manatee County. Oakley has its own association, separate from Oakley Place, so make sure you are dealing with the right one when you ask for documents. Listings show no CDD. Property taxes in recent listings have run from about $1,600 to $4,500 a year, depending on homestead status and when the home was bought. Schools are assigned by Manatee County; recent listings have shown Blackburn Elementary. Confirm zoning for any address with the School District of Manatee County. My guide to HOAs, CDDs and 55+ communities in Manatee County explains how these fees work.
What should you know before buying in Oakley?
- Homes from about 2001. Ask about roof, AC, water heater and pool equipment ages. Several sellers have put on newer roofs, and that helps with insurance.
- Read the deed restrictions. The fee is low, but Oakley is deed-restricted. Get the rules on vehicles, fences and exterior changes before you make an offer.
- Oakley vs. Oakley Place. They have different HOAs, fees and rules. Double-check the subdivision name on the listing.
- Flood zone. Some listings say the home is not in a flood zone, but check the zone and elevation for the lot you like.
- Homestead exemption. If this will be your permanent home, file for homestead with the Manatee County Property Appraiser.
