$1M+ HOMES BEING BUILT IN FLOOD ZONE
Area in southwest Manteca would have flooded in 1997 if dry levee hundreds of yards away failed
oakwood shores
This home in the 3800 block of Castellina Way that is in escrow for $1,140,000 is in the gated Oakwood Shores community that would have flooded if a cross level several hundred yards away had failed during the 1997 floods.
Oakwood Shores — the hottest neighborhood for home sales in the Manteca area — was almost literally underwater 26 years ago. Homes selling for more than $1.1 million today are on land that in 1997 came precariously close to being under 2 to 3 feet of water.
