Oakwood Shores is not just among a handful of neighborhoods surrounding private lakes in the Northern San Joaquin Valley but it has another feature that few of those have — a gated community with 24-hour security patrols.It is an additional enhancement to the community located just outside of Manteca’s city limits near the end of West Woodward Avenue. That allows it to be off the beaten path yet close to freeway access and shopping such as Costco, Kohl’s and others along with nearby recreation amenities including Big League Dreams that’s complete with an indoor soccer complex. As an added bonus, the Altamont Corridor Express rail station is less than three miles away by car.Re/Max Executive Realtor Brandon Joaquin has an Oakwood Shores listing that happens to provide the lowest per square foot price among resale offerings.
